Last week I found out I had to be a narcissist and talk about myself on video!! I saw this post by @alphasteem that basically said if I don't do it, then I'm not real!
So, for the first time, I'm introducing myself on video because @alphasteem is smart, so it just makes sense to listen to what she says (even though it made me nervous because sometimes I forget to shave my armpits or trim my mustache and I don't know if steemit is ready for that yet).
I did my steemit intro post back in February, and you can just learn about me there if you want. It's probably more entertaining than this video. I mostly just talk about how I learned Spanish to impress boys and how I forced my mom to let me go to sketchy Mexico (which I love).
But this time, I wanted to talk about some things that you guys wanted to know about!!
So, I took your questions and answered a few of them in the video!
I'm doing this because I want to learn more about video and start incorporating it more into my blogs. Just to mix it up from always writing and to improve my skills.
- Warning: *This one won't be that great, but in my defense, I'm just answering questions. Also, Gary Vee said he put out 100's of crappy videos about wine on youtube before he started not to completely suck. So I figured if Gary Vee can suck for about a year or so, then I can suck for awhile, too.
I'm like wine. I just get better with time (or hopefully my video-making skills do lol).
Or, you can just wait until a year from now. I should be producing better content by then haha.
If you're worried that I'll always talk too much, don't! I won't, I promise!
I'll probably mostly do videos like this one about playing with monkeys in caves or fishing with a stranger in Vietnam or farting around Bali with my friend.
Or, I can do whatever you like (to the tune of "whatever you like" by T.I.) After all, you're the one watching it.
I want you happy!
Anyway...let's get to it.
Here are some of the questions you asked me and the ones I'm answering:
- @pardinus - 1:20 - What a great idea! One of my questions for you... how many countries have you visited so far? And can you pick the top 3?
- @ross-early - 5:03 -What inspired you to travel the world and live in so many countries?
- @ttanarcy - 7:10- Would you travel to space? That is my retirement plan lol
- @o07 -8:17- Have you travelled to Australia? If not do you want to one day?
Unfortunately, I had to cut it off after 4 questions because I talk too much (it's what happens when I don't take adderall which is never).
But thank you so much for the questions, I really enjoyed answering them and it was fun getting to talk about something that you were curious about!

I used it once feb 2 for steemit, and used it this time for dlive! so, only once per platform. I was told that's what to do because you haven't done an intro post for video yet.
I actually wrote this in my post & mentioned it in the video.
It turned out great! Thanks for sharing those things with us.
Thanks so much for asking!!
Loved your answers! We share one of the favourites: Costa Rica! Been there 4 months ago, and since my main focus when I travel is wildlife, you can imagine why it went to my podium as well! ;)
Ahhh yeah!!! I love the monkeys! So awesome that you were there 4 months ago! I loved your question so much!!!
And thank you for answering them! I was fortunate enough to see the 4 species of monkeys they have in Costa Rica! And toucans, racoons... even eyelash vipers! :) Damn, just by talking about it the travel bug is biting again... :)
I Admire your photos @nomadicsoul! Warm welcome from me and all steemit community. Nice intro and I'm Happy to meet you! Keep on working hard. our support is always with you. Best of luck for the future!

I can not watch this video 😢
NO is dlive being lame and not loading?! I can uh hope that I didn't delete it already and upload a youtube link. I can transcribe my exact response and tell you what I said!
well if you do get it on youtube please share the link 😊 if not you can transcribe it
Ooo okay sorry I got so distracted, I will definitely remind myself to do that! Either one lol
Ok. I looked for the video and I think I deleted it because basically my computer and phone are both almost full and so is my external hard drive! I may be an info/photo hoarder. I think I have a problem lol.
Kinda disappointed, wish you could see it, but that's okay! Here's what I said:
"So this next question is from ttanarcy and he asked (giggles) if I would travel to space and that’s his retirement plan which sounds interesting, I wanna hear more about that actually (laughs).
I actually don't think I would, which maybe that’s weird, but I think space looks really dark and there’s not a lot of sun. And I know when I'm in Portland, which is where I live sometimes (giggles), I felt like I didn’t see the sun for so long during the winter that I start to get depressed. So I think I’d get depressed in outer space because I’d miss grass and trees and things like that (laughs).
And I kinda worry that for some reason we wouldn’t get back and I’d probably miss my family and friends too much (laughs). So yeah, I’m the lame one who won’t go to space… please don’t hate me."
End quote.
Dang I laugh a lot.
