He can go to the countries, but like PG said it would be in an exclusive resort. He can't do anything that would negatively affect the company which means he can't be seen/photographed doing a lot of the stuff that makes these backpacking trips so fun. He can't go into a 7-11 to buy something without being recognized. There are pros to being rich and famous but let's not pretend there aren't cons.

When you really stop to think about it, the amount of things in our lives that depend on the weather are overwhelming.
Do you mind expanding on what exactly you do?(in an anonymous fashion if necessary) As someone currently looking for a career this sounds intriguing.

I think this question is a lot like asking if an obese person wants to eat themselves to death, should we let them?

You can debate whether or not it is morally justifiable to allow this to happen, but you can't really argue that it is healthy behavior.

Even in the Valley, an attractive woman rarely is rarely thought of as out of place. People would be too busy hitting on her or admiring from a far to question where she came from in my experience.

Would you mind expanding on point 3? Why wouldn't using Uber be better?
