What I learned traveling through 12 countries in a year

I did not plan the year this way. It started as a work trip and ended up as twelve countries, dozens of conversations and a notebook full of notes that have nothing to do with SEO — on purpose.

I learned that curiosity travels better without a fixed itinerary, that almost every business problem is a communication problem, and that working well from anywhere takes more discipline than sitting in an office.

These notes will keep growing: I am not trying to summarize the year, just to keep a record of what I learned while it happened.
