Far Away
CultureTrav

A6 I'm not a fan of the Christmas season (I know, not popular) and one year we managed to spend a good chunk of it away. We chose Istanbul, which gave us a total reprieve from the hype. It was glorious. #CultureTrav


replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Love this question. Dumplings π₯ are absolutely a different cuisine in Prague. Czechβs local cuisine is dumpling and I was so confused π€·ββοΈ. Dumplings in Prague are these white round balls and they taste completely different than the Chinese dumplings. #CultureTrav


A3 On a trip to Ecuador, I fell in love with a market town in the Andes called Otavalo, spent a week there #CultureTrav


A6 Absolutely - I'm packing up for being far and away again on the #CaminodeSantiago next week. It's my 2nd time this year. It supports my quote, "#Adventure is my meditation." #culturetrav #books #withneweyes #inspiration


A6 The first couple of times i went to Asia, yes. I just didn't know what I wanted to do in life and in traveling to those places, I learned that I wanted to travel. Win win? @travelcricket8

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O @RTWBarefoot Food in Chile (Patagonia) was super chill! #CultureTrav -- consumed after a long frigidly cold hike

@Nicolette_O A4 Vancouver Island always impresses with it's charm and natural beauty is only a short distance from Vancouver.

A6: of course I have. allows you to clear your mind and challenge what you think you know and welcome what you did not #culturetrav


A6: From my research I found out the the #Philippines really goes all out for #Christmas and that the weather is perfect there in December so I made it a point to visit during that time - I was not disappointed! πππ #CultureTrav


replying to @DoroLef @DoroLef @Nicolette_O I do the same at farmer's markets (those farmers are a wealth of info) -- I'll hit up farmer's markets wherever I travel #CultureTrav


A6. After leaving my job in Japan, I needed quiet time to think so I went up to the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia for a few days ... this is an early morning hike #CultureTrav

@Nicolette_O A5 Cuisine transports us far away through taste, aromas and a genuine feeling of immersion, like this noodle restaurant in Montreal.

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5. It's incredible how taste and smell can bring back memories from far away, whether it's travel or childhood. Sipping chai always transports me back to exploring India. #CultureTrav


A6. When Iβm in #Bermuda I try to spend as much time as possible underwater with the sea creatures. It feels like another universe. #CultureTrav


replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Yeah, pretty cool. Most of the people are indigenous Quechuas, and they're master weavers -- there's a huge market every week #CultureTrav
