Welcome to this weeks episode of So You Want to Travel the World Question and Answer!
The first question comes from Khavlogs.
He asks: Have I ever been to Morocco.
I have been to Morocco.
I went with Intrepid Travel.
There was a scavenger hunt in Toronto a couple of years ago and I took part in it and I won
a trip for two to Morocco with Intrepid Travel, and it was a fantastic trip.
I visited quite a few cities in Morocco, but hands down my favorite was Chefchaouen which
is also known as the Blue City for the reason that whole city is painted blue.
It is like walking through smurf land.
Actually it is more like walking through Hogsworth because all of the men dress in wizard jackets,
with pointed hoods that cover their faces.
They were very cool, and I wanted one but they were very expensive.
The bizarre are really fun to get lost in and the food is yummy.
Micah Bowlus asks which country was my favorite.
My favorite country is India.
India is so exotic and spiritual and the energy that flows there is incredible.
The people are friendly and kind.
The smells and colors, traditions and gods and celebrations!
Honestly, if you are someone who gets restless easily, India will overwhelm all of your senses.
India is an extreme place of contrast and extreme country in general.
If you can travel though India, you can travel anywhere.
Sunny Phelmps asks how do I balance travel with my job.
Luckily travel is my job.
Three years ago, I started a blog called Hopscotch the Globe which was originally started for
my family and friends to see what I was doing during my travels.
Then all of a sudden, I was receiving emails from people I didn't know saying that my travels
and me were inspiring them to travel.
Having that connection with people that I didn't even know and inspiring them to fulfill
their dreams of quitting their jobs to travel the world was so cool.
I love to film, make videos and be in front of the camera so I wanted to see how far I
could go with this.
Three years later, here I am, it is one of my jobs.
I travel, make videos, write about travel, act and serve to make extra money.
The first two years of working on Hopscotch the Globe, I made no money.
I did it solely because I loved it and it allowed me to connect with a bunch of like-minded
people from all around the world and share experiences.
I just had so much love for it.
I put a lot of time and hours into my website and learned as I went including designing
my website.
Rashaad Jorden asked if I have met any famous people while travelling.
I've met Tori Spelling and her husband Dean.
I was on the same flight as Bjork.
When I was flying to Los Angeles on my way to Hawaii, I was on the same flight as all
of the singers from last seasons The Voice.
I washed my hands beside Jennie Garth from 90210.
The one person that I wanted to meet and finally got to was the Dalai Llama.
When I was in Dharamsala, in the Himalayas in the North of India, I was taught Buddhism
by the Dalai Llama for three days.
My question for you guys is which famous people would you want to meet during your travels?
I would want to meet Jason Mraz.
He could play his guitar and sing to me as we hitch hiked across South America.
Thank you so much for your questions.
