replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A2: I lead a boring personal life. I have no dependents and little social interaction. So the only reason for me to book holiday off from work is to go visiting places. It's a great combo.
kate_frankie
replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 So cool! When's the book out? #ambuying #PTTravel

A2 - In a normal year my work schedule is very fixed, so I travel when my workplace is closed. It’s not negotiable. 🤷🏻♀️ #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Likewise! For the first time in years, I don't have anything booked, because I want to be fairly sure anything I do book will happen.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie It's a question of maximising time and opportunity! #pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel Also, my travel style is very quick. Because I have a short attention span and a limited series of interests, so very often I spend little time in a place as I don't need to.
So part-time travel works perfectly for me for that!

A2 #PTTravel is making the most of my 28 days (+ BHs) annual leave - cheap flights, cheap (but not nasty) lodgings and having lots of fun = perfect recipe + constantly knackered Stu!

A2 #pttravel My schedule works so I can have two weeks off about every month & a half for a minimal amount of vacation hours. Typically, I need to keep my trips down to two weeks & that’s how I plan them. It usually works.

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph We might have been there around the same time. I worked on a ship in Melbourne, then sailed to NZ via Tasmania, travelled around for a couple of months, then sailed up to Fiji to explore the islands. Was in NZ during the rugby lions tour. #PTTravel

Q2 #pttravel Easy! I'm retired! And, when I was working, I got a generous allowance of time off, and flexible shits.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel works for me because I'm a homemaker, too. I am a freelancer, blogger and I like to live a flexible life.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Its my 9-5 fitting around my travels 😂 rather than the other way round. Its prob why I’ve stuck with contract wrk for so long. I think #pttravel gives me a sense of balance in the world, I’m more in awe &surprised cos it provides a diff 2 my wrking life compared w/FTtravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: Work my ass off for 6+/- months, then travel for 6+/- months. It feels so good to get away for some time. The USofA can really annoy me after a period of time. This year has been quite trying to my emotional well being. #pttravel

A2 I like the balance I get from doing travel part time. I get to work (make money) and have good holidays. If I plan it right I can travel regularly and get deals by not going when kids are on holiday. The test will be now that I have a house. Less trips?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I work in a sector that's really seasonal, so can have a bit of time between contracts. It gives me the time for longer trips, slow travel experiences. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I take 4 weeks of leave each year. Two in the summer and two between Christmas and New Years. It works best that way with my job. This is the first year in a long time I won’t be traveling over New Years. :( #pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel 2016 16 separate countries, but multiple repeats i.e Sierra Leone 4 times so probably 50ish trips.
It was a hectic year

replying to @JKatzaman @JKatzaman It actually changed my perspective on travel. You can do it in your home town or home region. You don't need to fly. You don't need to be away for 2 weeks. It can be day trips or overnight stays #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie Lol cos I like driving fast this sounds like my kind of competition 😂 #pttravel
