replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel I'm in Amesbury. Planning for Iceland & looking back on Morocco. Also trying to write about the food in Rajastan without coming across as too disparaging.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Good evening from Bedfordshire, UK. I may have to duck out of the chat early tonight as I'm part of the local toad patrol, and will be called out if it doesn't get too cold. #pttravel

It's the opposite! Everyone was always helping us! They are seriously the best hosts and so friendly 🇨🇳

A1 #pttravel I have travelled to many Muslim countries, and must state the great majority of their people are friendly, kind, considerate and peace-loving.

Warnings or dismay about a female traveling solo. I’ve traveled alone to Morocco, Egypt, Israel, all over Europe, Mexico, Hong Kong, and Central America. And hey, I’m still alive! #PTTravel

Its all about priorities I guess and what you do with your money #pttravel

I really, really hate the “travel is about the journey, not the destination” cliche. You can stay on the plane all day if you like, I’m getting the hell off. #PTTravel

Someone visiting us in the 80s told us they expected to see tigers roaming the street and was disappointed when they heard they had to visit sanctuaries for that. 😀 #pttravel

A1. There's a grain of truth in most stereotypes. It may not be every person from group X that acts in a certain way, but just one can reinforce an opinion #pttravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 is very true. Stereotypes exist for a reason, and some of them are generally valid. #pttravel but it's nice to smash them occasionally.

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie @findinganeish @aok_NW @StromfieldAdvs @JKatzaman @forallwhowander @solosoulblogger @WouldBTraveller @ankit1989 @russellofearth I know. You mentioned that. Such guides shouldn't be allowed coz they impose their beliefs on people. We are 1.4 billion people. We don't all eat the same food or follow the same customs or speak the same language. India's very diverse even within one state. 😀 #pttravel

Course I could, but it was UHT. Swapped my breakfast cereal for gorgeous steamed buns anyway :) #pttravel

#pttravel I'm a young-looking, poor 29-year-old woman who's been solo traveling since she was 17 with no more incident than some uncomfortable sexual harassment. I've only done Europe for passport reasons, but like… most myths are eh? How many French men helped me carry luggage?
