This week’s live YouTube Q&A session.
I did another live YouTube Q&A on Monday tackling questions about things like what I feared as a kid that didn’t happen, what’s going on in China’s new cities and along the Belt and Road, as well as some basic questions about perpetual travel and managing time as a traveling content creator.
The problem with the archived version of this Q&A session is that YouTube’s internal transcoding mechanisms are messed up and the audio and video are not synced properly and both are of atrocious quality. I don’t understand what’s causing this, as the audio and video are coming in through the same feed and they are properly synced and high-quality coming into my laptop and,I believe, during the live version as well. So keep this in mind if you decide to watch. Next Monday I will transmit a signal at a lower bit rate to check if that helps.
If you have any questions for next week’s live Q&A, which will take place on Monday at 10 am eastern time USA on my YouTube channel here, feel free to ask them in the comments below or email them to me.

Thanks for the mentions on your latest Qs and As..
The Q about ‘ how much’ was really to myself… but hell, was good to hear you opinions/answers..
yup i am mail man . lol… each hour i work is a days budget on the road.
and i do amass an insane amount compared to the figures you quoted cos i am job less for upto 4 years ( last trip) whilst backpacking. (2 months in Korea -free bed, some free food, bonus and 2x 5 months in Kyrgyzstan as a hostel dogs body -free bed, free food excepted)..
am 5k short of what i had last time. and am now pretty much decompressed from the 1423 day trip … so im waiting a while longer, hoping the overtime keeps coming… cos the only way to go one better than a 1423 day trip is go to 2000.. or 5 years…. @25$ a day inc all visas flights.. do the maths. an insane amount but no need to think about work for a long long time….
why?? i guess as i class myself as old now, working as a hostel volunteer to keep average daily spend down aint gonna happen, 1 place in KGZ aside, and if i go through Europe, i cant hack dorm rooms any more.. my daily budget will be higher than before.. but i travel slower.. and each trip i do less ‘things’ .. more content to just be… with a new view from the window every week.. or a different lake to look out over drinking my morning tea…
gotta watch the rest of the Qs and As vid..
take care man
fyi 89 countries and territories, massive fan of long insane overland trips… how… why… i dt have anyone, i dt get home sick.. and backpacking pretty much non stop since 2000… plans/ideas for my next trip are taking shape.. 24 new countries 7 revisits.. and thats just for starters…
regards Trevor
