I find this absolutely fascinating. I hope you don't find this offensive. I love how the human body and mind work, and I've always wondered the same thing.

As I am reading this thread, I read the words sort of in a monologue voice, and I can figure the articulations of the mouth that it would take to make the sounds of the word. So what is it like in your head when you read? You may have already answered, but I'm just trying to get it straight. Do you figure the movements and signs of the hands and picture them in your head?

What is the most humbling experience you have had on your travels?

How has this affected you as a person? How are your views different now than they were before you traveled?

What is/are the most beautiful things you have seen?

You are living my dream. I am going to be graduating high school soon and I would like to be able to travel. Would you suggest a study abroad program to get started?

Thank you for doing this AMA

Any advice for a student?

I absolutely love creating. Anything that I can make with my hands. Music, paintings, small crafts, etc. I always love to learn more and glassblowing is on the list. It's very relaxing for me and I'm always proud of my work.

I would absolutely love to do that for a living and be an artist, but I'm always being told I can never do that and I won't be successful. My family keeps saying I should go into biological sciences (my academic interest) because there's a better chance of hitting the big bucks.

I look up to people like you. People who can make a living doing what makes them happy and successful. I would only need to make enough money to support myself, no more. Have you been able to achieve this? What advice can you give to someone who still has time to decide?

Also, congratulations on pursuing your goal and finding your trade.
