A5 Because travelling is so varied in it's means, destinations and activities there aren't barriers to travel per se but there might be in the type of travel you want to do. At the moment we have time and money but still can't! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @Stromfieldadvs #pttravel I was dreading the overnight Greyhound from Coober Pedy to Adelaide. Might have been the comfy seats; might have been we had such a busy day in Coober Pedy, but I slept like a top. That's something I can rarely do on buses!

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @5to9traveller @kate_frankie Yeah must say I do find it hard to go at a slower pace whilst abroad. Need to be exploring & adventuring! So Malta was difficult for me. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie I’m sorry that happened to you. The closest I’ve come to being verbally attacked was in the car park at work from a random person. Never while traveling. #pttravel

A5- I've found there is a direct correlation between time and money when you travel. The more flexible you can be with your time, the cost goes down. The more rigid your timeframe, the more cost go up

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @kate_frankie That’s funny, we’ve noticed the opposite - our kids are bouncing again after a short while - we let them self regulate with their naps — the adults are still groaning and reaching for the coffee days later! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: Money yes, how much of it is another q &relative to lots of other factors like your passport. I’d like to do more slow travel both for environ reasons & getting deeper into the culture but realistically its difficult with my type of job, 9-5 hrs or limited leave #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Yes. They made the choice not to travel. So when they see us traveling, they interpret it almost as a personal insult, like we’re mocking their choice. Too bad for them. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a6 there are no truths, just opinions. I've hated places because I've been in a bad place mentally at the time. Go yourself. Mske your own opinions.
