Welcome to #PTTravel Chat!
Just realised I do actually have one chat left before I go away. What date is it anyway?! 😂

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Good evening! Sense of achievement! I just finished translating my notebook scribblings from the SE Asia trip into gramattical English, and transferred them to my journal!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 Luxury on a budget is my ideal travel style! I want things to be nice, clean and comfortable but I love finding a great deal. I usually say I'm an almost-budget traveller: https://t.co/qKAm6KZAcA #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel A difficult one! Maybe a little extra, not necessarily expensive, that you're not used to at home. (e.g. a Ruedesheimer coffee or a piece of Sachertorte??)

#PTTravel
A1 Luxury on a budget for me is either my own room (even in a hostel), a nice meal or something like chocolates, or a more expensive activity/sightseeing day trip. Usually additional bits but during financially tight times travel *is* the luxury

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Q1 #pttravel when you're able to achieve "luxury" amenities, like for example a beautiful pool, but for relatively small cost (relative to the average cost of things on that country)

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Cake! Yes. A nice drink is sometimes a luxury when you have a budget #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTtravel A1 The thought of luxury is a bit unfamiliar for me. It's more like luxury if the daily life. F ex buying apricots in France where they are ripe and tasty and juicy. At home fresh apricots are close to raw potatoes.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 To us luxury is something a little bit 'better' than the norm! I guess this means a meal out, a hotel, a spa experience that we wouldn't normally do........hard to define! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A nice drink? Imagine a mountain storm, a nice comfortable hut and hot chocolate with a slug of rum it it! It was ages ago, but it was *luxury* !

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith #PTtravel May I ask what is a Rüdesheimer coffee? I think Rüdesheim is a wine house / area in Germany?

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure It's what I do more now. Before, esp backpacking, it was just budget. As cheap as possible sometimes. Now, I can stretch my budget more but LOVE a bargain #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Ok ok. A very nice drink. I totally had that in the past. A good cuppa after camping overnight is the best #PTTravel
