Q1 Most places have some history of conflict but have you ever travelled somewhere that is actively in conflict? Do you know if anywhere you've travelled has been under occupation?

@kate_frankie #pttravel A1: back in 1994 I travelled across Europe to visit a penpal. In Belgrade.
While that part of Yugoslavia wasn't in conflict at the time, there were a large number of UN-branded lorries along the railway line, and I knew the front line was * over there somewhere *.

A1 Not to a conflict zone directly, because I think it's important to avoid that. But I went to the JSA in South Korea, to Myanmar and Ukraine #PTTravel

A1 #pttravel I haven't & don't think I'd want to encounter it. I'm not sure how I would handle the idea of waking up in the morning & finding out the army took over overnight.

@BPackersGuide oh i forgot about Ukraine!
#pttravel A1: I visited Ukraine not long after the crisis in early 2014. Maidan Square was still full of pillboxes and soldiers and *lots* of grafitti / memorials. Strangely I don't have any pics to hand of it!

A1 The only place I was at while in conflict was when stationed in the Philippines. Thirty months of travel restrictions weren't pretty, but at least we left a year before anyone knew Mount Pinatubo was a volcano. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: Can’t say I have at all tbh. There are places I wish I had visited before conflict had occurred and changed its landscape and people like Syria #pttravel

A1 I have been to any places in active conflict and for work that would not be allowed. Personally, I wouldn't go into those countries or close by. I do wonder what would happen if conflict broke out while on a trip.
I was in Fiji during a coup in 2006

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. Not anywhere with an active conflict, though while I was in Belize many years ago we were warned about approaching the border with Guatemala, as there was a situation that had left an impact on the area. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: Nicaragua, Guatemala, Timor, some conflicts happened while in Irian Jaya. there was South Korea (president assassination) and Iran when it went crazy. thinking those last two probably don't count as I was not an actual tourist/traveler. #pttravel
