replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 in the last 2 years, if my brother is booking a trip to Florida, about 2 weeks beforehand the entire world will have some other version of a massive problem. He is going on March 16 so I'm thinking Aliens land on the 2nd?! #PTTravel

Q5 Which countries, regions or trips taught you the biggest lessons (good or bad)? Did this change travel for you & why/why not?

@kate_frankie #pttravel A5: West Africa taught me that people, on the whole, do look ot for you and won't let you be stuck.
This also includes a general subset of: "don't worry, the bus will always arrive at your destination."

A5: Our trip to America’s Southwest comes to mind. All the natural beauty was so impressive. I’ve always liked nature but that trip really changed things for me. It also sparked me to start blogging and doing more writing. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A5: Travelling Europe in 2019 made me realise that some places are more exciting than others, and some places I will probably never feel the need to visit again.

For me #Oxford is the city where you can learn even if you aren't a student. So many of the colleges are tied up with key events in British and world history be it the civil war, dissolution or covid vax #PTTravel A5

A3 I avoid any hassle or drama on trips. Including work trips. I just don't have time for it and there are bigger fish to fry!
I try to avoid sea/water travel for prolonged periods because 🤢🤮

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @___leifb73 I personally thought they were lying, but like 5 people were saying they would kill for my accent and 3 women kept asking me random questions so I would talk. apparently I do have a pleasant voice #PTTravel

Scenery was worth it though.

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott @StripeyMiata @___leifb73 Conversely I've been told by many Americans that my (northern) British accent is 'cute'. #pttravel

A4 I've learned that I love planning and booking trips. I've missed it during the pandemic. I love having something to look forward to in terms of travel.
Once I made a big trip happen, I was less worried. Once I did complicated paperwork or long process, it was ok

A5 #pttravel Vietnam is still considered to be a poor backwater by many in the US. Some people were horrified I went over there. I told people it’s not the country it was 50 years ago or even 20 years ago. Today, it very middle class & modern. Watch the misinformation out there

A6: Travel now. Put down the beer and travel instead. I wasted so much time in undergrad through till about 30 screwing around. I think I thought I didn’t have enough money to travel. I don’t know but it’s a big regret. #PTTravel
