A3: Hitchhiking in a minibus full of Muslim women to an undisclosed location in the desert might be considered unwise...but when invited with heartfelt smiles, we shut down the voices of fear & took a chance! We shared tea, laughs, dances & a night we'll never forget #CultureTrav

A3. I love Mexico despite all the negative we hear so many of my stories cover these amazing destinations. People are friendly, I feel safe and there's so much to experience and the food is incredible, Just got back from San Felipe. #culturetrav

A3: Here's an issue of my Wanderer's Weekly newsletter exploring how budget conscious, sustainable travel rules have help travelers strike up conversations with locals and see surroundings from their perspective. https://t.co/HnpLiYvnsq #CultureTrav #NewOrleansLA #publictransport

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Only if you let it. Letting go of cuisine and personal space biases in Shanghai was one of the hardest things for me to learn. https://t.co/eNXAssi4wW Still working on it. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3 Everytime I go to Marrakech, the one question I always get asked by people is is Morocco 🇲🇦 really safe?! This is the biggest misconception, as it’s a beautiful country with great people #culturetrav

A3: I was told so many times that #Manila is unsafe and that I should just skip it in favore of the famous #Philippines beach spots but I’m so glad I didn’t! Not only did I feel safe the entire time, the locals were extremely nice and welcoming! #CultureTrav 💚

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3. I was quite moved recently by the exhibition at the top of Boston’s Prudential. It really highlighted the plight and celebrated the contribution of immigrants, but also described how easily patriotism breeds prejudice. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4. I can only take their word for it, admittedly, but it really sounds like Norwegian is trying to do its part. #CultureTrav
