We loved the small towns we found on a road trip in Newfoundland ... https://t.co/XkAyQnvvDD ... and Grand Falls Windsor delivered several gems. #PTTravel

Q4 How would you describe your travel style and has it changed over the years?
aok_NW
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Golf carts are indeed how they get around there. #pttravel
NomadKeith
A4 #PTTravel Don't know about 'over the years'; my travel style changes from trip to trip. For one, for instance, I'll take a dinner jacket for one; for the next, I might just take shorts, a couple of T shirts and a sweater,

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a4: chaotic and slightly unusual. And, uhm, probably not very, tho in my younger backpackery days i preferred my own room.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Have a look at Jordan Inspiration Tours (https://t.co/eBrSw6qHMS), see if they're your cup of tea.

A4 #pttravel It really hasn’t. I like to take a thorough look of the area I’m in. That’s how I did my recent trip because I don’t expect to get back there. Visiting the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

A4 My style for travel is casual and I try to be relaxed. Not great at that.
I used to use hostels but now like my own room. Less camping now and less boozy, not that I ever really did 18-30s holidays.
I'm trying to find a slower pace & more disconnect from rush

Q5 Has social media, blogs or any new sites/platforms influenced you? Was it good or bad?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie The idea of things like, oh what were they called, Contiki were one, those beer-fuelled bus trips, intrigued me, but I never did. Because hi have you met me. #pttravel

A5 #pttravel Social media & blogs have been very helpful in my planning. I remember planning Vietnam, I didn’t have much to go on until I found a discussion group on Facebook about Vietnam & most of the posters had actually been there. It filled in a lot of blanks for me.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I did a bus pass thing in NZ when I was 21 and that quickly lost its appeal. It was good to get around but I could have done without the booze culture #PTTravel

RTWBarefoot
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a5: .... no. In that i knew the principles and concept of much of the world before Travel Blogging was A Big Thing, so all the places I go, I already knew about in a way. What New Media does do is make it easier to learn about them & hone my adventures more efficiently.

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW I like to be able to ask where to go for things and what I should be aware of (long queues, tough on documents, extra fee, take translation, its next to the red building but use the black door on the opposite side to the road). You get a different level of advice #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel Ideally, social media or a blog is a personal impression, which you may or may not like. However, a good post can arouse my interest. and make me wish to find out more before I jump up and say 'I must go!!'

Q6 What would you recommend to people new to travel, in terms of travel inspiration and finding their style?

A6 #pttravel I started slow. My first trip was just for a few days to somewhere I could drive to. I made the trips larger & farther away as time went by. As for your style, only you know that & only you can figure it out.
RTWBarefoot
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a6 try stuff and see. Despite what "other travel bloggers" might tell you, there's no 'right' style (*) or 'right' places to visit, it's all about you and what you feel comfortable with.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Casual is a good way to describe how I do things too. No stress, easygoing and relaxed. #PTTravel
NomadKeith
A6 #pttravel Absorb all you can; blogs, books, docos or whatever, Hopefully. you'll learn about 'the good, the bad and the ugly', and be able to make your own mind up.

A5 Sometimes social media (IG I'm looking at you) makes travel look quite pristine and posed. It can be hectic and messy and stormy. It doesn't need to be sold as picture perfect. Rant over!
Blogs have been very helpful in my planning and research. Also some fab people
