Thanks for doing the IAmA, I'm a big fan! I loved Vagabonding and Marco Polo (I liked the footnotes as much as the main stories).

  1. As an academic who loves to travel, I’m curious to know how you are conciliating your new job at Yale with traveling.

  2. Have you thought about having some TV or YouTube travel show? (I loved the No Baggage Challenge) There are lots of travel shows today, but as you noticed in “Around the World in 80 Hours (of Travel TV)” many of them are not really about travel.

You can still find Internet cafes around, but I avoid using them for security reasons (you never know if someone installed a key logger or something like that).

One alternative is to carry a cheap smartphone that can run Skype and use the hostel’s wifi.
