I can relate to your topic in many ways. Your intro reminds me of Mark Dice, man on the street. you can look him up on youtube if you don't already know his work. I myself have never been a follower, a sheep, a get in line kind of person.
In fact I left the USA at a young age of 20. I've been back and forth many times since. But overall I've been living out of a backpack for the past 10 years and don't seem to a-line myself with any culture or authority anymore.
I appreciate your article and enjoyed it, however, I think you you should cut your post down a bit, less wordy, more to your points. But that's just friendly advice from an experienced English teacher.
On a further note I enjoy sharing my travel experiences, I write from a no nonsense perspective of a real budget traveler. Not a sugar coated look at me and how great everything is perspective. You will see that in my Sunday night World Travel Report: Panama. Here is a link to my latest well received post about a little paradise hotspot in Guatamala. Where I'm writing from now. https://steemit.com/travel/@world-travel-pro/world-travel-report-paradise-hot-spot-lake-atitlan-guatemala
up-voted and following you. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed yours. Have a great day! - World Travel Pro
I know Mark's work. Thanks for advice. Followed you back.
I love Mark! followed!
@world-travel-pro I don't think article is too long because this subject is too complicated to explain in few words. You may understand it, but there is to many statist. They need few explanations.
Thanks for advices. My plan is to write articles for couple of monts and see would I get some followers/revenue. After couple of months I will decide is it worth it. My biggest problem is that english is not my primary language, so to write good article I need 2-3 days. After that to recieve only pennies is demotivating.
