Using Sockets on WAN

Question

Hey, is it possible to set up a server socket on my pc, and then connecting to the server from another network (other wifi).
I mean that: is it possible for someone who lives on another continent or whatever, to connect to my server-socket on my pc? if so, how can i make it happen? (what to change in the current code that works only on LAN?)
And are there any risks by exposing my server to the WAN? (Hackers etc..)
