replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @ChinaMatt I love it when this happens for me as a visitor! Makes me feel like I'm a local. 😌 #culturetrav

#CultureTrav A4) Not so much my country, but my city Philadelphia is often considered mean and crazy, but generally people are actually friendly and helpful


RT @micheleherrmann: A4: I'm sure some of it is shaped by current events, politics and news. No further explanation needed. #CultureTrav

A3: in every way. Especiallyas I’ve learnt part of the languages, which helps you see life differently. You can’t go back #CultureTrav


replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3: People are nowhere near as different as some would like to believe. Doesn't matter where you're from, what language you speak, how you pray, etc.; everyone loves a good meal, laughs, sunsets, and all those other little things that make our days worthwhile. #CultureTrav

A4: America gets a lot of mixed opinions, mostly derived from pop culture and more particularly, my hometown of #Chicago is often seen as dangerous which I find quite funny (and it gives me street cred when I travel!) 😉✈️ #CultureTrav


replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A1: I can enjoy being by Myself and go on Adventures, on my own Schedule. #CultureTrav

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler Is it? I've been there a few times & thought it was fab. But then I have friends there ... #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4: I am from India so people have a very common perception of India being a colourful country with alot of cultures existing together! I think more in the form of conservation. #CultureTrav

replying to @micheleherrmann @micheleherrmann I hear you, Michele! Glad to be able to connect with open-minded and awesome travelers like you, though! 🥰#CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3) After visiting 8 countries last year I realized how small & similar around the World. #CultureTrav


RT @Nicolette_O: Q4: How do you think people commonly perceive your home country? #CultureTrav https://t.co/T9tZqeL9BH

replying to @RyanTravelsEats @RyanTravelsEats @Nicolette_O I’ve been telling people I’m Canadian as well. Or just let Jackson introduce us (he’s a Kiwi and has major street cred for that!) #CultureTrav

RT @travelcricket8: A4: I’m not sure honestly. Assuming mixed opinions. Rightfully so. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4: Rain, sheep, and tea… Bet you can guess where I'm from! #CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2: My own hometown of Srinagar that I was visiting after a decade of unrest. I was amazed at the love and the hospitality I received! #CultureTrav https://t.co/FNyQgCurvh

@Nicolette_O A4 Canada, land of wide open spaces, with fresh Mountain air
and friendly people. 🇨🇦
#CultureTrav


A4: Well that's easy! And it's true, for some months! But Canada is so extremely diverse, and I hope people think of us as such. #CultureTrav


replying to @Travel_boomer @Travel_boomer @travelcricket8 True. One incident doesn't define the whole country. People are individuals with different interests, views, and so on. Travel helps shatter stereotypes and perceptions that form. #CultureTrav

replying to @travelpantspair @travelpantspair @Nicolette_O When I lived in China, the questions were: Do you own a gun? Can you use chopsticks? Do you like Chinese food? #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4) Not very well considering who is occupying the Oval Office right now. #CultureTrav

replying to @MomsWanderlust @MomsWanderlust Ask 10 people what they think of Paris, London, NYC, whatever....and their POV is colored by so many factors: age/race/budget/weather/time of year. I hate it when someone says they "hate" NYC -- and all they did (!???) was blunder around midtown w other tourists #culturetrav

replying to @three_whales @three_whales @Nicolette_O NYC was the same for us. Loved it but hard to ignore reality off the beaten path. #culturetrav

Q5: Have you ever had a completely different perception than someone you’ve traveled with of a place you visited? Tell us about it! #CultureTrav

Love that you got to explore it, @Travel_boomer #CultureTrav https://t.co/duJ02fROWB

Q5: Have you ever had a completely different perception than someone you’ve traveled with of a place you visited? Tell us about it! #CultureTrav


A5: Sometimes! When I travel with my guy, he's brought up interesting details (architecture, infrastructure, etc.) that I may have noticed but didn't focus on, and vice versa. I enjoy hearing these different perspectives on what details stick with people! #CultureTrav

replying to @MomsWanderlust @MomsWanderlust Ahh! What a winter wonderland 💙💙💙💙#CultureTrav

replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @Pinkzenjoy @travelcricket8 I talked to someone on the weekend who was afraid to go to Strasbourg bc there was a terrorist incident there. I tried to explain that these isolated incidents affect maybe a dozen people in one particular block, while millions don't even notice #CultureTrav

replying to @travelpantspair @travelpantspair @Nicolette_O My ex was Canadian and we visited a lot, so I could wing it pretty well if people knew Canada or asked questions, which definitely helped. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O
@Nicolette_O A4 Cuba is often reduced to, and perceived as ‘beaches, cigars, 1950s cars + salsa’. Our region (Baracoa) at the easternmost tip of the island shows Cuba as a wonderful nature, adventure and ecological living destination.

Overall well and I do my best to be a good ambassador. #culturetrav https://t.co/Bd2s2YZNCb
