A1: My southern Africa trip this past spring was by far one of my most memorable: A helicopter ride over Victoria Falls, my first safari, a vegan dinner party, winery tours, and a broken ankle and first-ever surgery in JoBerg--it had it all! #GenXTravel

A2: Years ago, I met many people while hosteling around Europe. However, I haven't been meeting many people lately in my travels. Although this guy from my spring travels was memorable. @RTWBarefoot #GenXTravel

A3. I've stayed in some good ones over the years but there are a few standouts: An ecolodge in Sinai, a sailboat in San Francisco, a cute surfer's hideaway in Baja and a 16th century loft in Paris. Thanks @Airbnb #GenXTravel

A4: Buzzing around tiny back streets in a tuk-tuk in Udaipur, India, and riding a camel in the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India, are two of my most memorable transportation experiences. #GenXTravel

A5: I fell in love with (became a bit addicted to) pasteis de nata (here the famous ones from Belém) in Lisbon. It was my daily treat (and went great with Port wine!) #GenXTravel

A5: A memorable drink I found and loved in Trinidad, Cuba, was canchánchara--rum, honey, lemon juice, and soda water. #GenXTravel

A6. The beaches in the Canary islands (Fuertaventura) are very windy so to protect against the wind they build these lava rock wind breaks. Hanging out in this all day is a bit unusual. Here's my husband enjoying a stogie in one. Oh, and goats wonder freely there. #GenXTravel

replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler A10: While visiting Mahatma Gandhi memorial in Delhi, there was a huge invasion of school girls attending some school trip. Then I thought that education is a key and those girls have a better future than their moms ever have. #GenXTravel
