Q4 What do you use for research or planning when going to a new place? Do you ask for recommendations?


A4 Hours on Google Maps, blogs, travel guides...anything I can get my hands on. #pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel a4: much of my travels are to places few people I know have gone, & those who have, have barely left information about having gone.
Wikitravel. Guidebooks (Bradt, LP).

A4 #PTTravel Usually, t'Interweb. And, put a call out on social media ... but, avoid those articles that tell me what I 'need to know'!
