A5 I think we can all do a little bit by looking for local crafts but also local cafes/restaurants and tipping locals for services that you'd give back home (in appropriate amounts)

replying to @DrVoyageur @DrVoyageur Yes, if the culture is to haggle then we always do (badly) I always have in mind what I want to pay for it and go with that, admittedly sometimes that's too generous but not by much! #PTTravel

replying to @SidewalkSafari @SidewalkSafari We're going on the first weekend so we are hoping they may have unpacked them in which case! Did you enjoy it? We are quite excited, it's rather a beautiful little town #PTTravel

@DrVoyageur I feel called out.
But it can be hard to know when you are overpaying for a service or souvenir. The best you can do is research, try to haggle, and not let yourself be taken advantage of, as best you can. I'm not sure what else you could do. #pttravel

RT @char_x0: @kate_frankie A5) It’s a hard one as you want to support the local economy and not get scammed in the process 🤔 🤷🏽♀️ #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 I definitely think it contributes to helping the economy if you are buying from locals especially when they are showing off their skills & craftmanship #pttravel

A6 I have a question. I want to bring something back from #Antarctica but it might be photos/videos. Are there any other things you can get from South Georgia for example? Postcards or little trinkets?

A6 #PTTravel We were tempted to 'souvenir' this little fellow in Canada ... but, he was too young to be taken from his mother, and would grow up to be a husky, which we'd love, but have no room for.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6) I would love to start bringing back art 🖼 and eventually have a gallery (a big dream) dedicated to it 😭🤷🏽♀️ #PTTravel

A6. I would like to bring back wine from every major wine producing region in the world. Doing pretty well so far. Brought back Cremant from Luxembourg in July and heading to Loire Valley next week! #pttravel https://t.co/bj8YgT4pho

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I like going to farmer's markets and artist markets to shop for goods. The items are more unique to the area, and the money is more likely to go directly into the local economy. #pttravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs Great! It's always good for them to know that you (even if you don't want to) will easily walk away. #PTTravel
