Great tips, Grace.
I am a permanent resident in Thailand and write and blog on Thai culture and lifestyle. I lecture on the university circuit and am a published author.
Medium.com seems to have the right principle in allowing ANYONE to join in a debate and discussion, unlike Facebook for example which censors posts.
Medium readers don't just read stories on their own main topic of interest. If Thai culture interests them, they will at least take a look at some of my stories.
