Joining #PTTravel from Maryland back at a semi-normal time after our switch to standard hours today, talking about new places to go.

Hello everyone! I'm much less energetic than this sounds 😆 I've got a chesty cold that is currently beating me a bit.
I'm still going though.
Here in North East England where its dark and the cold is setting in. Winter is coming.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie oh, you as well? I've had a blocked nose since last week and a couple of days ago the cough came. Am irked. #pttravel

Q1 Do you have any new destinations in mind for trips that you haven't been to before and why/why not?
kate_frankie
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot The cough has kicked in here too. Very irritating. I've taken some Covonia but feel a hot toddy and soup would probably work better #PTTravel

A1 A trip at least to the middle U.S. next summer would be welcome just to get away for a few days, as long as all the pieces fall into place. #PTTravel

A1 #pttravel Lots of places. I still haven't been to South America & would like to go into the Middle East. I plan to resume in 2022 by doing some domestic travel & plan other things later.

A1 #PTTravel We had our trip to Borneo cancelled last year, so that's high on the list. Costa Rica's up there, too ... we said we'd see which was available first.

A1 We’re off to Palma in a couple of weeks and also have Agadir and Koblenz booked - they’re all new for us. Our trips are usually 50:50 new and much-loved places but exploring new nooks and crannies each time. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: ah, now, yes, I've been thinking about this since my inter-rail trip two years ago. My 'hit list' dropped quite substantially, but new concepts were added, like, wilderness Siberia, and Kiribati. Places that require effort and dedication to reach and travel in.

A1 Canada. It really needs to be booked for 2022 or 2023. I'm thinking the latter so that less can go wrong.
Top of the list with Japan and South Africa for a while.
All new destinations, all look incredible & I've heard great things

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I had a lemsip earlier, which helped. Am avoiding exercise tho #pttravel and alcohol.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: I'm also more inclined to take group trips now. But that might be a different question. I don't remember what the questions are.

@RTWBarefoot I didn't do much other than a walk to get tissues & short yoga session earlier. Bath soon and I'm not very hungry.
I hope this is no longer than a couple of days #PTTravel

Q2 How do you decide on where the next new place to discover will be?
(Seems delayed so I'm tweeting early)
NomadKeith
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel My friend Norman lives in Toronto, & he says visiting his part of the country, Autumn is a must!
RTWBarefoot
replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: oh. Also. St Helena. I don't know why, but that's grown on me as an idea for pretty much the last two years

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @RTWBarefoot I heard chicken soup is good for the soul, but I didn't qualify. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Taiwan, and still have a few thousand islands to explore in the Philippines. #pttravel

A2 #PTTravel Usually, TV programmes or personal recommendation. Sometimes, just throw a dart at the world map on the wall!

A2 At this point, picking a destination is like throwing darts at a map -- or just spin Google Maps. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: ...... i don't know? Like, if you take the view 'everywhere is interesting', and you have a problem with commitment and making decisions, it's amazing I travel at all. :D
But mainly research - seeing what places I can link together in a coherent route.
Txiki_Tales
A2 Most of the time it's working our way around the easyJet or Ryanair route map...and not always looking at the obvious #pttravel
NomadKeith
replying to @JKatzaman @JKatzaman #pttravel I forgot the second part. Repeat the exercise until the dart lands somewhere you like!

A2 #pttravel Often, it comes from something on TV or what I read. These are pictures of Texas I recently rediscovered from 1999. These are some of my earliest digital pics. Watching a documentary on the JFK assassination motivated me to do this trip.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel A2: as to why I choose those places in the first place? Eh, maybe I read or heard something vaguely interesting in passing 35 years ago and the place stuck in my mind?
RTWBarefoot
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Personal recommendation is a tricky one. Because, I don't know about you, but I have friends with quite different travel styles, preferences, and ideals. So anything we recommend to each other might not land well with either of us lol. #pttravel
