replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Hi, how are you all? I've just finished work after a busy weekend out on patrol. Day off tomorrow so I'm chilling out with a beer in the evening sunshine #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel not a lot. Had a bit of a mental crash. Today tho I made curry. Which is why I'm a bit late to chat.

Q1 First of all, what does wellness mean to you and does travel fit into this idea?
RTWBarefoot
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie it is. All home made, with onions, leek, home-roasted spices, chicken, and an awful lot of vegetable. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Fortunately Oregon hasn’t been hit the way some states have. Some people here hate the policies of the governor, her policies seem to be keeping it under control. #pttravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 I'm doing ok. Counting myself as pretty lucky. Work is busy and will start to be a bit hectic in summer with exam results and university admissions so enjoying the relative calm before the storm! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 Wellness for me is usually about mental health. About reducing stress & doing something to relax or bring me happiness. Travel is something I love - it gives me something to look forward to & I find such a sense of inner peace & happiness when off having adventures! #pttravel

A1 Hi everyone. For me, wellness can be part of travel but does not have to. I think you can relax at home as well as during a trip #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I've just got home after a day's work. Didn't go anywhere last week, but I might go somewhere next week if the sun stays out. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Croatia ... with some side trips to Slovenia. We just heard Slovenia has lifted restrictions on Brit travellers, so we're good to go. Probably self-isolate for a couple of weeks before we go, lest we get caught in the track n' trace trap.

A1: Wellness for me is keeping my mind and body in shape. Travel doesn't mean a stop to my usual routines. Absolutely have to exercise when I'm on the road and keep active as much as I can #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 I don't really think of wellness and travel together except for wellness retreats. I did one in Scotland some years ago. #PTTravel.
kate_frankie
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Oh, I didn't realise we were ok to go. I heard most about Spain and other western parts. That's good news #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel I think it’s about staying well, travel or not. We face a lot of challenges regarding that these days. I do look forward to the day I can resume travel as it is my one passion.

A2 I don't really care about that as long as there is a shower. Bit even the old barrel in the rain forest was okay for that #pttravel

A1 Wellness for me is taking care of every aspect of myself. My physical and emotional/mental health and also living a life that has some balance.
I have the tendency to overwork and not rest enough so travel is a good way for me to plan a break from work

replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: my problem, essentially, is that I don't go on holidays to relax. I go to explore, to learn, to see. So my 'wellness' is what I do when I get back home.
Maybe this is a weird way of thinking.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Too much alcohol for too many days makes me anxious but a nice G&T every now and then is good #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: I mean, also, like, I'm attracted by hostels that have early morning yoga sessions and the like, but I'd never turn up to them.
I can't switch off.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. It's not something I've really considered much. A lot of my trips are quite physical + full on with activity, but I think wellness is probably more about the mental engagement + the slower, more chilled side of things #pttravel
