replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A4 hiking to the bottom and swimming at Decew Falls in St. Catharines, Ontario. Although it is not an official hiking trail, there are two beautiful waterfalls and plenty of turquoise swimming holes to choose from #inspiretowander

replying to @AvrexTravel @AvrexTravel @AngelaMDiLoreto @inspiretowander I really need to explore more of the Western USA. Ghost towns & hot springs sound like the perfect combo to me! #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO I'm not sure it was off the beaten path, but Game of Thrones definitely caused a spike in tourism to Dubrovnik. #InspireToWander

#InspireToWander A 4) A short train ride from Philadelphia is Haddonfield, NJ. It's a charming little town full of history. It's also the place where a dinosaur was discovered in the United States.

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog I've only hiked the Bruce Trail up above and haven't gone down to the bottom! It's really pretty! #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1. A place where there's not too much people, calm and of course, the beauty of nature. #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A5: #inspiretowander yes the entire country of Portugal. Having grown up there, and having Americans ask me if it's a city in Spain ten years ago, to watching every Instagram star head to Lisbon nowadays is a little surreal.

A5 #InspireToWander The 1 place I could think of & I think it has more to do with @RickSteves making it famous is Cinque Terre in Italy.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A5. Forks, Washington. Maybe not necessarily because of the internet but because of Twilight that used to be near one of our favorite camping sites and we had to avoid it for a few years because it was overrun with teenage girls lol #InspireToWander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @RickSteves Yes! And then there is Portovenere right next door that's definitely not as busy and equally as charming! #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO Love the Bruce trail! Have you walked the whole way? It's beautiful down there but you need good hiking shoes and it's safest to walk the long way rather then attempt to go down the gorge at the main waterfall 😁 #inspiretowander

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @JustinLaurenXO Amazing! DeCew Falls definitely is a beauty! I grew up in St Catharines but only visited it once I returned home after graduating university. Never swam there but made it down in the spring thaw. Gorgeous! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5. Some people say Iceland (which I've never been to) has become too mainstream. But, based on the photos I've seen, Iceland is a place I desperately want to go. I'm sure there's still lots of off the beaten path places still to visit. #InspireToWander

Q6: Lesser-known destinations can become overrun with tourists because of the powers behind social media. What are some ways we can ensure destinations to not suffer because of overtourism? #InspireToWander

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @RickSteves Yes! Rick Steves was the reason we ended up staying halfway up a mountain in Switzlerand. Every other American there too. #inspiretowander.

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @JustinLaurenXO Beautiful photo! Haha I think that swim would have been a bit chilly 😬 #inspiretowander

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog I'm slowly hiking the whole thing. Except I haven't hiked it at all this year. I was away too much and then when I got back, it was far too hot. Hoping to do some fall hiking on ol' Brucey though! #InspireToWander

A5- Boracay in the Philippians is starting to feel the pain of too many visitors. The island recently had to shutdown to deal with the trash. Although I also heard it was partly their own fault #InspireToWander #travelingsession

A5. Montauk was off the beaten path when I was growing up but thanks to the popularity of the internet and the Hamptons, it is now pretty mainstream. Once upon a time, it was a quiet little town. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2. I do both. I like visiting the center, going to the main places. But I also like to be outside of the city. Enjoy the not so common things in a town. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @RickSteves I actually haven’t been to either. I need to go. #inspiretowander

A6: Be wary of tagging specific destinations if they can be impacted & practice leave no trace! Also travelling in a destination's off-season helps too! #InspireToWander https://t.co/doFjgCNKNX

#InspireToWander A 5) Years ago we went to Santa Clara, Panama. It was a little fishing town with a few beach cottages. It didn't get popular through social media, but after a bunch of large resorts were built

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @RickSteves I recommend spending the night in Riomaggiore - it's so peaceful when all the day trippers leave! #InspireToWander

A4. The best off-the-beaten-path place in my region would probably be Queretaro. Most people fly in, but skip it to get to San Miguel de Allende. Or it could be the Sierra GOrda mountains with its waterfalls and pueblos magicos. It takes 3 hours to get there. #inspiretowander

replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Yes, you're right! An island in Thailand closed because of the impact too. Boracay is open again but apparently it's a bit different - a lot less partying & what not. Hopefully it doesn't have to be closed again! #InspireToWander

replying to @cleverwomanNY @cleverwomanNY I know about Montauk because it's in my fav movie ever, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. <3 #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: #inspiretowander what I personally do is encourage slow travel. So instead of telling someone to stay one night and take their Insta photo I tell them to stay three nights and tell them about other sights nearby so that they can branch out and see more than just one photo op.

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel Agreed. Off season travel for the win. #InspireToWander

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @JustinLaurenXO HAHA yes just a bit. My foot went through a bit of ice & boy was it chilly! 😹 #InspireToWander

replying to @AvrexTravel @AvrexTravel @inspiretowander Iceland is definitely not too mainstream if you know where to go. There were so many places where we were the only ones - and this was in June, so it was still prime time to visit. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A5 Niagara on the lake used to be a lot less well known, now everyone from the area avoids the main street during the summer and on weekends. Good luck finding a parking spot! #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6. Oh geez no clue, I know a lot of Southeast Asia is having this trouble with tourists leaving trash on their beaches but I don’t know how we can protect it. 😕 #InspireToWander

replying to @AuraPriiscel @AuraPriiscel @JustinLaurenXO Hi Aura! How's the DR? I see my favorite off-the-beaten-path place Las Galleras has changed from a sleepy town to a tourist destination #inspiretowander

A6 #inspiretowander I’m not sure you can. Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia was over trodden & worn out by the end of the 80s. The wars started & people stopped going which was a great thing for the park. It was able to grow & renew itself
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @MandyMPower @MandyMPower @aok_NW @RickSteves Yesssss. It's so beautiful there! We loved hiking Cinque Terre and stopping in each town. #InspireToWander
