replying to @1Dad1Kid @1Dad1Kid I have headed out to the student areas too. They can be interesting but usually far from tourist places. Beautiful piazzas everywhere! #PTTravel

Oddly, there's not been many experiences where I've been genuinely scared or worried or owt like that. #Privilege maybe?

Q5 Which places off the beaten path would you like to visit in future and why?

replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie #pttravel Kiribati, because I've been to Polynesia and Melanesia so going to Micronesia is a given.
There's a couple of international borders I want to cross (eg Congo/Cameroon, Panama/Colombia), just because it's possible and I knew very few ppl who have.

replying to @1Dad1Kid @1Dad1Kid I ducked inside a small church in Colombia to find a fabulous interior. Very ornate and beautiful. The outside gave nothing away! I love finding places like that #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel There are some off the beaten track places in Iceland I'd like to visit before they get too beaten.

A5 Some places in Eastern Europe. I used to have Russia on the list but that will now go on the backburner.
A few places in Africa, many of which have not been visited by people I know.
Romania, Slovakia and Lithuania are probably up top

A6 Thanks to cell phones, it's really hard to get truly lost. So take random stops, go down side streets, and just meander. Can find some true gems #pttravel

A6 #pttravel Know where you’re going & more important, how to get back. It never hurts to research ahead of time.
RTWBarefoot
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel research. And be aware you'll find less information. Be prepared to have less of a safety net. Try not to break the law. Avoid revolutions, volcanoes, and mosquitoes.

A6 If you want to go off the beaten path, don't go by a beaten schedule. Give yourself the freedom to have fun. #PTTravel
kate_frankie
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I would absolutely go back. I'd like to see it in spring. Greenland would be great to visit too but not sure how #PTTravel

A6 #pttravel If you don't speak the language, pick up a business card from where you're staying ... or just write the name down somewhere. That will usually assist greatly at getting back into your comfort zone.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel I think cruise ships call there sometimes? If you have any Danish contacts, they're usually better placed to help.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I guess a lot is not traditionally visited by tourists #PTTravel
