@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: ... I mean, people are discovering Sheffield now, plus I've moved anyway ... I'm not quite up-to-speed with Glasgow yet, tho I did block about 'free things to do' here in 2017, so there'll be a few 'hidden gems' in that.

@kate_frankie #pttravel scarily I was looking at that post yesterday and noticed I wrote about the best ice-cream I'd ever had.
I have no memory of eating that.
Probably I need to revisit to see if the place is still there! :p

#PTTravel A2 I also discovered a beautiful butterfly garden near me. I don’t think I posted about it anywhere except IG and maybe I tweeted it.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Cartwright Hall in Bradford #PTTravel https://t.co/CwHOlToc8g It has a very interesting collection of South Asian Art and work by David Hockney. It's just a couple of mins walk from my front door.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel 30 years ago, I'd have called one of my favourite hostelries, the Hare and Hounds at Bowland Bridge, Cumbria 'hidden', Then, it appeared on someone's 'ten best' list ... !!

A1 I think of places that are not plastered all over IG and on blog lists of must see travel 😋😆
Hidden gems is definitely a travel clique but those places are great to find and often have less people too

@kate_frankie #pttravel a3: hmmm .... I'm thinking about this .... I don't know?
Like - I'm a really 'bad' travel blogger in the sense that I don't look for or pay attention to them? I go to places for a reason, and anything I do there that isn't why I go there, I don't really ... remember?

A3 My favourite hidden gem in Spain is Avilés in Asturias. It’s home to just 80,000 (similar to Burnley) and hosts one of the maddest festivals I’ve ever witnessed. #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel well no, not 'remember' exactly, more, 'don't get excited by'.
That's not saying I don't enjoy them, of course I do, more that they're just always 'nice things' rather than 'memorable' ones. I don't 'rank' them, I guess.
It's hard to explain, maybe!

A3- It may not be a hidden gem to some, but I stumbled on #SanSebastian while on my way to Pamplona.

A2 I would say the whole of the North East of England is a bit of a hidden gem, bar Newcastle/major cities.
Druridge Bay is stunning, seven miles long and has very few people on it. I spent my birthday morning there in August. Really great

#PTTravel A3 while visiting Louisiana with my aunt we passed this gem on the way to get friend’s house. I made her stop the car so I could whip out my camera. Still some of my favorite pictures from that trip. https://t.co/xSwEMnpjYD

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot So would you pick any to talk about, if someone asked? You do talk about places or experiences on various platforms so how do you pick which ones? #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel short answer: yes.
long answer: I talk about places I feel confident about, with my own experiences coupled with additional research. I choose them based on a combo of my own feelings, what I think ppl would be interested in, & what would be easiest to do.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A4: not necessarily. Some are, because they're a long or expensive or inrefquent journeys, but some could be as easy to find as taking the second left from the high street instead of the third left.

A4- Hidden gems aren't hard to find, but you have to be willing to break from the crowd and forge your own path
