replying to @PassportDorks @PassportDorks I'm all about the shoulder seasons & off seasons. I rarely travel anywhere far in July and August typically! But I'm all about the May/June September/October trip. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @inspiretowander We occasionally have "travel convos" to prioritize which places are higher up on the list than others and then use that info when we see deals on @scottsflights, etc! #InspiretoWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @IBBtravel That was the case with Singapore. Air fares were so low, how could I not go. #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A1: For me it depends mainly on award availability with miles and points or if there are some dirt cheap air fares/deals #InspireToWander

replying to @AvrexTravel @AvrexTravel I used to work in a library as a teenager and spent so much of my time in the travel section! It definitely influenced my round the world trip at 18. #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2. I think most Torontonians can agree that the Pearson Airport isn't exactly the most price-friendly airport in šØš¦. I often choose based on flight sales and actually flight times. AM flights usually means hell at customs. I prefer flying out at night! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2. When planning a trip, the first thing I determine is what I want to see. I estimate the amount of time it will take to view those sites. Based on time and location, I'll then think about booking flights and accommodation. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1) I usually look at a mixture of things because it is an ever growing list: relative affordability, currency stability because exchange rates can be killer, and for me I base it a lot on the history of location as I love to delve in and learn more firsthand. #InspireToWander

A1 we make lists and pros and cons. Take turns if there is something the other one really wants to do/see. Check cheap flights, hotel deals. We have also been known to put names in a hat. #InspiretoWander https://t.co/nRJUVR0opP

A2: Our first steps - pick up some travel guides (partial to @lonelyplanet), reach out to our best traveled friends for advice, and then start a daily itinerary, to piece together the trip! #InspiretoWander #oneofusistypeA

replying to @takemomalong @takemomalong I like flying in the afternoon and evening, too. The airport is so much calmer! Plus waking up early is the worst. #InspireToWander

A1: I have a bucket list of places to go and things I want to see. If I can, I try to plan my route to allow for those. But I enjoy going off the path & just letting the journey take me where it will. #InspireToWander https://t.co/KN0vReNoE8

replying to @PassportDorks A2: We usually tend to block out the big pieces of the trip (getting there, staying there, any transportation needs) and then start looking at experiences, excursions, and tours to make the trip awesome. And of course - what we're going to eat! #InspiretoWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A1: I'm primarily interested in nature, hiking, UNESCO sites, and museums, so I focus on those first. I also focus on countries from which I have ancestry. From there, I prioritize based on the feasibility of timing and pricing. #InspireToWander

Iāll research to see what transportation options are available. Iāll reserve hotels in advance & Iāll see what attractions are in the area & allow time to see them. A2 #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2) I start with the transportation and lodging first. Being familiar with modes of transportation from an airport is helpful especially if language is barrier. With sightseeing - I try to do a mixture if natural exploration and big sights landmark wise. #InspiretoWander
