It was suggested in the chat that we try a chat even like Reddit, where we have an AMA event in the chat room.

What's an AMA? It comes from Reddit, where someone (even Obama!) will log in and say something like "I'm the POTUS, AMA" and then the questions start, and he responds.

So anyone with an interesting topic to have questions on? Hypothetical Examples:

• I've been to Tajikistan, AMA
• I backpacked for months in South America, AMA
• I bribed a Russian police officer, AMA

Don't ask the questions here, just suggest that you'd like to be the answerer, and your topic, and then I'll look at scheduling the events.

After some discussion it was suggested we may get a better response and answers with topics and 'ask a traveller' events - any travellers can be in the chat room to discuss and ask/answer questions on the topic.

So anyone with an interesting topic to have questions on? Hypothetical Examples:

• Ever paid a bribe?
• Long term backpacking
• Working while travelling
