No, I haven't followed your advise just yet, I was born and raised here (W? shì W?inèiruìl? rén). Finished your book yesterday. I must say it's inspiring and scary at the same time. I'm almost 30 and can't say I have traveled the wolrd the way you have nor made the kind of money to sustain that life. I wanted to suggest that when the paperback version is due you should add a small footnote explaining that the current prices to travel to Europe are ridiculously high. I really don't know how you pulled it off my friend, I just got married and went to Paris (yes, I know it's a cliché) and Spain, and spent an average of €120 on meals in France (two people, 1 appetizer to share, 1 bottle of wine averaging €35, 2 main courses and dessert), Spain was cheaper (average of €60-€80). On Budddha Bar was about €140 and it's not the trendiest of places in Paris. I don't believe you could do what you say you did on the book today on less than €4.000 a month. Because I've checked and the rentals aren't that low either, unless you want to live with immigrants (meaning people from Ecuador and Morroco) in a not so safe place, and still would be at least €700-€1000 rental (and that's in Spain). Also, the Euro/Dollar ratio isn't in your favor, so your new challenge would be to accomplish a mini-retirement in Europe (and not Eastern Europe) and add it as an Appendix for the paperback version. You pull that off, and make it believeable and you're my new hero/rollmodel. Don't want to take any more of your time. You'll probably won't even read this e-mail. So, I wish you the best wherever you are. Cheers! ### Hey Angelo, Not sure where you are staying and eating, exactly, but I still think it's possible. If I could do it in Copenhagen a few weeks ago, Western Europe still isn't totally off-limits. Takes some prep and adventure, but even NYC and SF can be quite cheap while delivering quality. Just my 2 cents. Later gator, Tim N? h?o Tim,

I’m writing from Venezuela. No, I haven’t followed your advise just yet, I was born and raised here (W? shì W?inèiruìl? rén). Finished your book yesterday. I must say it’s inspiring and scary at the same time. I’m almost 30 and can’t say I have traveled the wolrd the way you have nor made the kind of money to sustain that life.

Hey Angelo,

Not sure where you are staying and eating, exactly, but I still think it’s possible. If I could do it in Copenhagen a few weeks ago, Western Europe still isn’t totally off-limits. Takes some prep and adventure, but even NYC and SF can be quite cheap while delivering quality. Just my 2 cents.

Later gator,

Tim

I said, "No way." She said, "No big deal" which means no sex until you do. So I read it and then reread it and now I am about to reread it again and apply the info to my life. One question though - how much of the book was out sourced? Dr. Bob ### Hi Dr. Bob, LOL... great story, and I hope you're recovering well. None of the book writing was outsourced with the exception of the explicitly outsourced parts in Chapter 9, "Outsourcing Life."

Conversation was most interesting and it was cool to see you live up to the freshness and realness of your writings. I´m enjoying Ryan Holiday so thanks for the recommendation. Forgot to mention: check out Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged" if you haven't. Her work philosophy is 180º away from yours... so you may find a lot of value in it. Cuidate, Miguel ### Hola, Che :) Igualmente, Miguel! Fue un gran placer. Thanks for the recommendation -- some of Rand's philosophies are quite interesting, indeed. Hasta la proxima! Tim Oye Tim,
