AMA: Repairing the Schism Between Locals and Tourists + 2 other questions

This is first Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode! I answer three questions. I always answer any question that one of my Patrons ask me. You can become a patron for just $1 per month and get to bombard me with questions! I love it! Tamy asks 1. Over-tourism - What's your take on how to be a good tourist and how can we, as travelers, repair the schism between locals and tourists? 2. Conversely, where are some places that could use a dose of tourism to help boost their economy? Dalia Asks Hay Francis! Love your posts and news. I am actually thinking of starting my blog in Arabic as I’ve been traveling a lot lately. Any advice? I answer her on the episode, but this is what I wrote to her: "Hi Dalia! My best advice: do it because you LOVE/WANT to do it and that you are happy if NOBODY reads it. Some people start blogs and hope to quickly capture a big audience. They underestimate how hard it is to do. They quickly quit. So only do it if you just love to write/blog. Think of it as a public diary."
