I'm joining tonight from a under the spare duvet on a cosy sofa in Bedfordshire, where I'm drinking wine and watching the awesome @coxlesscrew documentary Losing Sight of Shore #pttravel #adventure

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Good morning! I'm just thinking about cooking a pizza to go along with my glass of wine, and an evening of cosiness on the sofa #pttravel

Hi Everyone! A1) Staying fit when traveling is tough -- we're not gym-goers (prefer to run/walk outside) so we try to get in as much walking as we can when traveling #PTTravel
aok_NW
A1 #pttravel staying fit is no problem just because of the amount of walking I do. I seldom rent a car especially overseas, so I rely on public transit and my two legs.

I'm planning to make my Christmas cake tomorrow and even now I'm excited about marzipan offcuts. #pttravel

A1 Not being a travel gym type, I'm lucky that whatever fitness I have stays steady until I return. #PTTravel

A1 #pttravel Usually ... no changes; same as I do at home; drink plenty of water, watch what I eat and wash my hands after using the toilet.

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie @russellofearth @NomadKeith @heywhatsupcourt @ManvsGlobe @CharlesMcCool @RoamingRequired @DawnCorleone @PT_Explorer I was about to say this was the pinnacle of partying in rural France, then I remembered that we were out partying til 4am the other night. LOL! Little villages are secretly rockin’! #PTTravel

A1. Its tough to stay fit. But I enjoy a lot of physical activity while I travel; hiking, kayaking; swimming. And I try to squeeze in a yoga session now and again while I'm on a ship. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. I'm no fitness fanatic, at home let alone when travelling, but I love to walk and I eat relatively well so I wouldn't say I was unhealthy either. #PTTravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie @russellofearth @NomadKeith @heywhatsupcourt @ManvsGlobe @findinganeish @CharlesMcCool @RoamingRequired @PT_Explorer Thank you, it is! I’m debating whether I leave some for my husband ;-) It’s basically a Madeleine recipe but in thin layers and stacked with Nutella ;-) #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: Not at all - I am completely hedonistic when I travel! Although I did find a fitness / care regime when we travelled for 8 weeks, cos hedonism really only lasts a week before you burn out on holiday ;-) #PTTravel
DawnCorleone
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. I try to walk as much as I can when traveling mainly because it’s a great way to explore and find hidden gems. But I don’t have a separate work out routine while on holiday. #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel
I've struggled to get enough walking in on this trip so I did go to the hotel gym twice. I did a lot of sitting in offices and conference spaces.
I'm much more active at home.
I need to find a better balance on the road especially when I'm working

replying to @vickyinglis13 A1. If I'm on a ship, there's nowhere to walk, and you can get very stiff just trying to stand up with the movement. I climb lots, but always come back in need of a good stretch out. #pttravel
DawnCorleone
replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @kate_frankie I certainly indulge in local cuisine when traveling! If I get hit by a bus, I don’t want people to say, gosh, she was on a wonderful trip to France and her last meal was a tomato salad...#PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @russellofearth @NomadKeith @heywhatsupcourt @ManvsGlobe @CharlesMcCool @RoamingRequired @DawnCorleone @PT_Explorer @HHLifestyleTrav Ah that's really nice. How did you like my hometown? The lights went on this past few days too I think #PTTravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie LOL I know, right!? Life is for enjoying the good things! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @russellofearth @NomadKeith @heywhatsupcourt @ManvsGlobe @CharlesMcCool @RoamingRequired @DawnCorleone @PT_Explorer @HHLifestyleTrav It was lovely, I have to say. Looking forward to seeing it again in better weather, hopefully sooner rather than later. It would be great to meet up some time. #PTTravel

A1 I think so, I walk a lot and am outside. But it's quite challenging to stay fit during a work trip, because I have to sit a lot #pttravel
NomadKeith
replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 #pttravel Most cruise ships I've been on .... even the small ones allow a walk or run around the deck.
vickyinglis13
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Small exercises and stretching can fit into most trips. I'll usually do some squats and things while I take the helm of the ship #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: Yoga is my favourite thing to do when travelling because I can do it anywhere and doesn’t require special equipment. #PTTravel
kate_frankie
replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @HHLifestyleTrav Haha that's a great perspective! I do feel like I enjoy food and drinks as my exploration of a country #PTTravel

A2 #pttravel I remember Hong Kong was a workout. I hiked up to the Wong Nai Chung Gap Trail and didn't realize it was straight up. I rode the bus back down. When I came back, my pants felt looser just from all the walking.
BPackersGuide
A2 Sure! My favs are hiking and climbing andcan be done in many places. I also have a little hostel exercise program #pttravel
NomadKeith
A2 #pttravel Usually, a walk or a run. But, if I'm on an 'escorted tour' I sometimes have to get up early to do it.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I've walked two long distance footpaths, which is technically travel by exercise. Most of the time though I burn calories climbing endless towers in search of the best view. #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith My last ship was only 28m long on the deck, and sails get in the way on the foredeck. I could try laps, but I'd need so many of them to make it work #pttravel
BPackersGuide
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Me too, it would be nice if conferences could offer something. A collegue once took part in a pilates workshop during a conference #PTTravel
vickyinglis13
A2. Yoga travels well, as it needs virtually no equipment, and I like to walk or run in new place to get my bearings of the place. #pttravel
NomadKeith
replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 #pttravel I suspected as much! But, surely, you'd get plenty of other exercise there?
aok_NW
replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie That sounds like me. I'm always looking for the best views in town. #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW We did so much walking in #HongKong! Between that and the heat we didn't feel bad about anything we ate #PTTravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide @kate_frankie #pttravel My friend went to a conference in Beijing once. Every hour or so, everything stopped, and they did tai-chi!

replying to @sowewander @sowewander That's how I feel. When you are burning that many calories, enjoy. #PTTravel
