A1: I love Crete. My parents have a villa out there. If the work was there I'd be out there in a heartbeat! This is Kalamaki beach on the south coast. Lovely spot for a frappe! #lpchat

I wish i can settle down in Luang Prabang, Laos. Its really peaceful and the environment is so serene and so beautiful especially the waterfalls @lonelyplanet #lpchat https://t.co/zDY1dTtmAV
replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A2: In February I was in the British Virgin Islands. Despite the terrible hurricane 2 years ago the people were amazing and the beaches still beautiful #lpchat

@lonelyplanet A2, A wonderful trip through central India.
Inspired enough that I want to return to other parts of the country.

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A1: Can we opt for a tiny house in every corner of the world? π¬It's too hard to choose! #lpchat
A late A1. I'd move to Spain tomorrow for the lifestyle, weather, food, and markets like this one in Valencia #lpchat
replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A2: Svalbard, the world's northernmost settlement. Never-ending polar night (100 days of perpetual darkness), daytime stars, wisps of aurora flaring into full solar showers. Utterly freezing and (at -30 degrees quite literally) breath-taking beauty #lpchat
replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3 I believe it depends entirely on where the cruise ships are going. Islands in the Caribbean (pictured is St Kitts) rely nearly 100% on cruise ship tourism and would suffer greatly if there were stronger limits #lpchat
A3. This is an ongoing debate here in Edinburgh. Daily life is a lot more complicated in August when the city is bursting at the seams with festival goers and tourists. A simple journey across town can take twice as long in August. #lpchat
replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A4 Without a shadow of a doubt the USA do food properly! Where else is fried chicken and waffles an acceptable form of breakfast?! #lpchat
A4. Champagne tasting at the Mumm champagne house in Reims to celebrate my best pal's 40th birthday! #lpchat
