Q7: Travelling on long weekends could be a busier time. What are some of your tips for braving the crowds (or escaping them)? #InspireToWander

A7: Either leave a day early and/or later to avoid the big travel days. If you can't do this, take back roads. It might be a longer distance but the drive will be more enjoyable than a traffic jam on the highway! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A7: Choose a non-touristy destination to contend with less crowds! There are so many places in the world to visit, so maybe go a little off the beaten track. #InspireToWander

A7.) Er, PubClub LIKES the crowds! As long as they are fun and cool and chances are where I am, they are that way indeed. #inspiretowander

A7 #InspireToWander I already cited having an app like @waze for traffic info & Twitter can help here too, there are a lot of hashtags out there you can follow that will alert you. #pdxtraffic is Portland’s traffic discussion.

A7: Go to places during the off season! We've done this a few times and the holiday crowds are a fraction of what they are during high season #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A7: Sometimes you just gotta accept there will be crowds, and go with it. #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A7) Patience. That and having a plan to find a less than travelled place or trail to hike. For us in #NYC this also means making sure we're at the airport early if flying, the lines in Pre-Check can also be bananas! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A7: Use this trip to visit the lesser known, hidden treasures of a place. Less likely to be crowded like the popular places. Find smaller towns outside the big cities to visit. #InspireToWander

Zig while they Zag.
literally go the opposite of where they are going to go. Back roads or the "scenic route" to the destination #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7 #InspiretoWander Book and plan in advanced! Long weekend backcountry locations for camping can still be very quiet and peaceful and while small quaint villages are also fun to discover off the beaten path 😁⛺️
