A5- I'd love to go back and explore #Seoul. Even though I lived there for a year, I don't think I scratched the surface of the hidden gems in the back allies

replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz #pttravel See if there are any tours going to Avgas Gorge or the Akamas Peninsula. Or, rent a car and do it yourself.

replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz That was us in Lanzarote last month. We couldn’t just sit round the pool with the lobsters in their 🏴 swimming shorts. Fortunately we found some great places to explore. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @Txiki_Tales @bigfatheadz There's quite a few nice sites up there tho - you can throw in Haworth, some of the moorland, and Skipton into the mix too. #pttravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales I agree. Sometimes searching for direct flights from your nearest airport can make you pick a different place due to a good deal. Jersey has fairly regular flights from Newcastle - my next destination #PTTravel

A6 Don’t be afraid to explore somewhere that hasn’t had the same coverage as more famed neighbours. I’m really looking forward to Girona next month. I was asked why I wasn’t going to Barcelona.
Because I’m going to Girona! #pttravel

replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz @RTWBarefoot I do miss the Wirral line from my youth. We had a free school travel pass that allowed us to go as far as Southport…but not Chester as that was across the ‘border.’ 🤣 #pttravel

A6 think of your motivation. What do you want from your find - a reasonably priced meal? Somehwee to practice the language? Or a new Instagram shot? As that might help you find what you are looking for #pttravel

A6 #PTTravel 'Seek, and ye shall find'. Make inquiries (hotel receptionists, bartenders and taxi drivers are a good source. Or, just wander away from the more tourist-frequented places, and look around.

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales Same for me with Leuven and Antwerp. Just as good as Brussels and less tourists #PTTravel
