There have been a few countries where I have noted the woman are a notch above. Serbia was one of them, the Philippines was another. Of course every place has beautiful women though.

EDIT: I still want the Canada Brownie points

A lot of people don't believe me when I first say this but we actually save more money travelling than we would living in either of our home countries (UK & Canada) Because we generally live in countries with a lower cost of living, still ean pounds and dollars, are generally frugal and travel slow we have been able to save up a decent safety net so money should not stop us doing anything we really want to do. (not that we are millionaires, I am in a $20 a night hostel right now) EDIT: How find work? Online mostly, I have quite a lot on my plate right now which is a very fortunate position to be in. When I started I was practically working for free.

Tough one to start.

Favourite Memory - Have to say living in Napier Prison, New Zealand. An old prison which is now a tourist attraction. I got work as a tour guide and lived in the cells. It was just creepy but cool at the same time. I also met my girlfriend there.

Best Memory - Same Question? I'll just shoot another. Never experienced anything like a Newfoundland winter before. I picked up work at FutureShop which was like a 3 hour walk from where I lived. One morning the buses were cancelled because of a heeavy snowfall. I decided to walk to work and it took me 4.5 hours but was my best ever hike. I felt like an arctic explorer.

Favourite Place - Never have a favourite. Besties include Cambodia- Sad history, great people. Malaysia - food and culture and Sri Lanka - just cool.

Favourite Food - That guy who made 1RM (30 cents) Samosas in Georgetown Penang is my hero.

Eye Colour - Blue

Name - Lee

Internet connection is huge. I always have a local sim with data that I can tether and internet at hostel/hotel if possible. If we are going somewhere without any connectivity I let my clients know I'll be uncontactable for a few days. I'm open with my clients about my lifestyle so everyone understands.

A friend pointed out that I always asked what was the cheapest, not the best, or the best value. A great lesson in South East Asia where the difference between a decent hotel room and one that's falling apart can be $3.
