@kate_frankie #pttravel A5: most remote? Humans are a resilient species; it's rare to be completely away from them. But in terms of distance from a "town", I give you The Aral Sea, and "somewhere in Mongolia".
Quiet places. Great skies.

A5 #pttravel Driving from Brisbane to Melbourne I found myself in the middle of nowhere several times & one night didnāt have a reservation & wasnāt sure where to find a place. I almost slept in the car that night.

@5to9traveller @kate_frankie yup yup.
The only time I've ever had heat exhaustion was in Cambodia when I decided to hike between a few of the temples of Angkor. It was maybe only about 33-35ĀŗC but ... those distances are long! #pttravel

A5 #pttravel Probably the Breakaway Hills, which we saw on a day trip from Coober Pedy (which is, itself, pretty remote) A lot of it is sacred ground to the First Nations people, but our guide was one' Told us where we could & couldn't go & told some great stories.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. In a bus in southern Morocco when a rainstorm caused a flash flood. Roads washed out. Delayed for hours. I had no cell phone to call my hotel to warn them of my delay. So we passengers just went outside and chatted. Oddly enough, it was a little exhilarating. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I think different trips make you grow in different directions! The beauty of travel :) #pttravel

@kate_frankie A5. Did a motorcycle trip on my own round Southern Loas.
Fine in the day, but driving at night and competing for road space with large trucks felt pretty isolating.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. The coldest weather was once again Syktyvkar, where frost bite was a serious concern. As for heat, Iād have to say Australia. As a sun-intolerant Scot, I even needed a special hat. #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Yes, Australian outback is pretty remote feeling. Tough to drive from one city to the other because there aren't as many places to stop off #PTTravel
