Travel Myths and Stereotypes

A5. My first international teaching jobs was in Haiti and I had tons of people tell me not to move there, because they were worried I’d get AIDS. This was in 2003, not 1983. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A5: define "rich"?

I mean, I'd baulk at travelling around Norway for two weeks, but ...

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 absolutely false! I consistently have no money or savings or assets yet we manage to travel at least twice a year (perhaps that's why my bank account is so empty!) #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 #pttravel Travel does require budgeting but it is possible on lower incomes. People from developing countries can travel, however, there is usually a more extensive visa process. In addition, not all travel is international! I think it's good to travel, near or far!

A5 #pttravel Where do people like this get their idea from? I'm not rich, but I travel a lot. I'm always, though, combing the web or the press for 'sweet deals'

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel a5 False. Travelling doesn't have to mean flying for thousands of miles, it can be visiting part of your home country that you have never visited before and can be done as cheaply as you want. Even developing nations its the same. I certainly aint rich!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 I hear this sometimes even on travel chats. 😂 Some feel they are the only nationality with the right to travel. Not naming them. 😝 Travel is happening whether for work or leisure. India has 135 airports to cater to the travelling masses. #pttravel

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @kate_frankie A5: I budgeted on hostels instead of hotels to see #Hawaii, and cooked a few meals with other guests to save money, but I wouldn't budget on transport for long distances, or if I was travelling with my daughter. Booked a UK festival this year and am glamping; pricey #pttravel

#pttravel A5: Over the last year I have realised that it's more expensive for me to stay at home than it is to travel. This is because I find it so easy just to pop down the road and buy stuff. I don't budget.

Assuming everyone does this, this implies that anyone can travel.

I'm by no means rich but I do have a little money. My parents don't pay and haven't paid for my trips. At 21, I saved for almost a year to do my big trip around the world. I'm really glad I did it and happy to spend my money on travel.

replying to @findinganeish @kate_frankie A5. In all seriousness, I found myself unemployed after graduation and started walking because I couldn’t afford the bus — to the nearest town, then the next. I volunteered abroad, dog-sat for foreign friends, and leaped on every deal I could find. It can be done. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: There are rich/middle class/working types traveling even from "developing" type countries. Jus'sayin' #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: deffo false. Depends on how you want ur travels to be. If luxury then get to saving&having that money! But you have to ‘cut your coat according to your size.’ Also the notion thay travel is ALWAYS abroad is also so wrong. Travel within your country can be awesome. #pttravel

A5 #pttravel whatever amount of money you have you can travel, depends what you are expecting to get from your travels- if you are expecting 5 star you either have to win the lottery or go away less. And there ware lots of Chilean and Argentinian travellers when I was in Bolivia
