Hi,
Love this plan, thanks Tim ! I am going to dream tonight 🙂
You are awesome, Tim! I will spread this like a virus. As much as I love to travel, I’m even more excited to a conversation with you. Thanks for doing great things and share some joy and adventures!
I’m same on this as marcus. I’d much rather just win a conversation with you than travel the world (haz family, lotza responsibilities and such) XD.
I agree I would love to have a conversation about how I can get away from the 9-5, be financially free and independent. Traveling the world would be cool but learning how to be able to do the kinda of things you do would be awesome.
Montreal..come to Montreal but only when it is warm..
One more great article from you 😉 I dream about travel around world couple years and every day I am closer to do that 😉 Thanks for you great tips!
Hey Tim,
Thanks for this great opportunity….traveling and getting to bend your ear. This is certainly coming at the right time to lift my mood. I’ll be sure to share this with the world!
Much thanks…..
I did it for one reason, and one reason only:
“1-Hour Private Q&A Session with Tim Ferriss”

I have been dreaming of a round the world trip. The sample route looks very interesting. Signed up and will be sharing the link as well.
Hi Tim,
Beyond awesome. I’ll share it for my journeying buddies, and as a guy who’s circled the globe for 53 months straight, goodness gracious you can travel the world through many ways and means. This contest is one of them. So is house sitting. We’ve lived rent-free in: Fiji, NYC, Bali, Nicaragua, and coming up, Costa Rica, over the past 16 months. Lodging for free in kick butt spots. Thanks so much for sharing with us dude. You rock. And keep up posted on where you’re headed; would love to meet up with you.
Pura Vida,
Ryan
Sounds cool Ryan, where do you get in touch of house owners for the sittings? Let me know if you need tips on Costa Rica 😀
You should visit Halifax, Nova Scotia instead Montreal Tim. I could show you around. Your book changed how I plan my life (well partly) and I’m grateful for putting something concrete on paper that kinda formalized my thinking. Dreaming about trip around World but for now I’m doing mini trips when I pass Atlantic ocean to visit parents in Europe and utilize budget air carriers (Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Wizz Air, Berlin Wings, Pegasus, etc) for cheep flights. Now I have collection of carrion baggage that is matching to criteria of above carriers. As well I learned a lot about what to wear to pack as much practical things and still travel light. Anyway… Great posts here. This is my first comment but I reading lots of your blogs.
Cheers!
Nico
I’m from Montreal and I lived in Halifax for 5 years. Both great cities, but I tell all my American friends that if they had to choose one spot, to visit Newfoundland – it’s an experience like none other.
I discoved you last Wednesday, and have not put down 4hour work week. I’m nearly finished and work and go to school full-time. :).
You have some incredible information.
Great timing for a sweepstake! I am planning a year long trip around the world starting in couple of months. Hope I win! Universe, bring it to me!
Would love to win this Tim! I’m working as a freelance designer and working on a startup at the moment, this would be the most kickass way to meet you, see the world, and learn a ton. Fingers are sincerely crossed!
Can’t help you with this because I concur with Essena O’Neill on the fact that social media is an artificial world that is for those who have nothing better to do with their time, except of course for the advertisers and promoters of social media who are in it for the money.
Essena O’Neill is not only an attractive young woman, but a highly intelligent person who has had the courage to sound the tocsin against social media, seeing it for what it really is, a huge fairy tale world of pseudo friendships.
Tim, great idea. You are awesome! The one hour would fly by I could talk to you for hours. Thanks
Great contest! I am surprised at the comments on giving up a chance to travel the world for a conversation with Tim. C’mon people I mean the guy is awesome but the world is…Well the world! It’s F****** amazing! I think Tim himself would agree haha. Good luck everyone!
A lot of flashing lights and baubles but, underneath all that, what’s in it for you, Tim? Very vague on the details except ‘sign up here’. Who and what are StackCommerce that inspires you to want to give away all this stuff? An hour of your time is probably more precious than any of the goodies that were donated for this comp. Just wondering – are we selling our private information to the devil, here? It must be worth a lot

Very cool,Tim. For a second I thought you were going to talk about travel hacking around the world. I just wrote a book about how I traveled to 7 continents in 4 months for $ 241 in flight costs. Keep up the great work.
oh, our Tim is back. fun, real talk, giveaways, adventures…
Hey Tim,
How exactly does sharing the contest page increase our chances? I don’t see a share link on the page, so I am not sure how I get bonus points for that.
Never mind. It took a while for the contest email to show up. Feel free to delete.
Love this!! Traveling around the world AND getting to talk to the Maestro himself?
Insane Giveaway. This would be an absolute game changer!!!! <3 sharing the hell out of this!!! – Thanks Tim!
Along with others, I’m more interested in the 1 hour with you. Of course, who would say no to a ’round the world trip.
Thank you, Tim, for all you do.
Good luck, all!
I am thinking Indie would be even better if I could add in other ways to travel ie. I would love to bike from Lisbon to Monaco maybe even Venice. Also, very keen on sharing a drink as well.
G’Day Amy,
Indie supports overland segments for biking, walking, trains, driving or whatever suits you:

Hi. I’m not getting credit for my twitter follow or tweet.
Greetings to anyone!
Am I right that there is no 4 hours work week forum any more? I would like to participate in some conversations about doing business and so on. Please, can anybody help?
Sorry for the offtop, didn’t find a way better than writing here…
It was shut down and my guess is because 1. it required too much time and energy to moderate- imagine how much masturbational promo and advertising it must have received – which Team Tim could have better spent on Team Tim and 2. Instead of getting Tims audience to focus positive time and energy toward Tim and his works, ie this blog, it focused energy away from that. Subtraction. A big detour. Not a good audience builder AT ALL
These were my educated guesses why it was not a good idea to keep it running. Fair enough
Greetings to anyone!
Please, can
Hi Tim,
You might remember me from the Charity:Water contest – the “Go France” effect. (How did that contest end by the way ? Did we win ?)
I love how you structured this new giveaway. Simple, effective, and great prizes.
Sebastien
As a father of four, this would be quite a shock to the whole family. I promise I’ll come back.
The trip, the Q&A, etc. make this an offer I can’t refuse. I only hope I win. 🙂
Thanks. Just signed up.
Hey Tim… Saw your Zion National Park thing in 5 bullet. I just did an L.A. to S.F. road trip/day hike tour. Took the loooong route up through death valley, then through Yosemite.
You should do it in reverse, to Vegas then fly back home. The entire drive through Death Valley is super epic/beautiful & any day hikes are nice and empty of tourists. [Moderator: link removed]
Thanks for this.
Tim. I saw your Zion National Park thing on 5 bullet… I just did a road trip/dayhike tour from L.A. to S.F. I took the loooong route up through Death Valley and through Yosemite. Yosemite is Yosemite & the entire drive through Death Valley is super beautiful & epic. Any day hikes you do out there won’t have a lot of people around either. Posted a couple vids here, but they barely scratch the surface… https://instagram.com/thejimbond/
You should go reverse from S.F., Yosemite, then down Death Valley, to Vegas & fly back! It’ll be a sub $1000 trip you will never forget.
Hi Tim, completely of topic question, but I would like to know what you think of mms ( miracle mineral solution).
Hey Tim,
I really like your posts lately that seem to be diverging from tech a bit. I think a lot of young people in the tech realm have the same thoughts but are afraid to admit it. You should write “4 Hour Soup for the Techies Soul: How to use tech without becoming a user” Funny, philosophical, pragmatic, etc. Good Luck!
Well the prizes seem nice. But with potentially many millions of entries chances of winning are minute. What concerns me is whats in this for Tim, and the data mining company? Tim we can trust but no some NSA style corporation. Theres virtually no disclosure as to the why. Just ‘give us all your private information for free’. Bit of a bait and switch. Those prizes don’t cost very much to Tim or Stackcommerce, and they were possibly donated by companies anyway for promo, but if everyones personal info is worth $5 each to a data corp. well you can see thats an absolutely fortune. Again I remind you of your actual chances of winning. Sorry Tim. I’m feeling let down. I feel sad. I don’t dig what you’re doing here. Integrity, ethics. I’m sad 🙁
Tim,
You’re 15 minutes is up.
HI IM NEW BUT I DID LOVIE FONZIE AND I JUST LOVE TIM XX
Hi Tim,
This is an awesome giveaway! The reason I started diving into your content was because of your approach when it comes to travel, I stayed for all the amazing value you deliver about life hacking in general. I am an enthusiastic traveler myself and step by step trying to apply your four hour work week to my own life.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the world trip prize, although a meet and greet would be invaluable!
Thanks for sharing this!
Joep
Not only an amazing opportunity for those who enter, but super smart marketing!
Sitting at my 9-5 job playing around with the ATW flights, which has made me realise where I REALLY want to visit. Having rarely ventured outside of the EU, I’d love to see Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, San Fran, New York, Iceland….
Where is everyone else interested in visiting?
Wow not sure if more excited about chances for the trip or the Q&A
A very catchy title! I can not not click it and read the content. I’m going to share this.
Great Article I will star to take action to make this and travel. Thank you
Thank you so much Tim!
When will the winner be announced? I have wanted to do this for years now and literally pawns the entire year photo document I building the business from 1 credit card : )
Is this closed? Have you announced winners? If no, I think it would be cool to do a podcast and talk to each of them particularly the Grand Prize Winner.
Hi Tim,
I’m getting an error message for the stacksocial link:
“Oops! It looks like the page does not exist.”
Has the competition ended?
Cheers
I want to do this very badly but every time I go to sign up it says the page no longer exists
😡😡😡
How do I sign up ?
Hello, I just started reading the book and had a couple questions. So, how does one go about this lifestyle? How do you work so much less and enjoy life more throughout instead of just at retirement? This sounds so appealing, but how? Also, how does one do this if they are raising children?
Anthony Bourdine is my favorite go to guy. my bucket list would be to travel with hime and taste the dishes of the world. my dream would be fullfilled.
Was this a scam to get free publicity? I mean no disrespect, it’s just many people would like to know an update of who the winners are and there hasn’t been a response.
Your blog is too cluttered
Can Nigerians participate?
Seasonal jobs are a great way to travel for free- if you’re willing to work, you’ll be making an income and will usually have housing and food provided by the company. It makes it easy to move from place to place when you’ve got built in accommodation and a community of travelers to live and work with.
