replying to @travelexx @travelexx #pttravel Indeed! There comes a time (I'm lucky; for me it came fairly early) when you realise there's more to travel than ticking off lists and collecting photographs.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @JKatzaman There are millions, millions, in the hills south of Glasgow. I've not explored them yet but it's on my list of walks to take. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 Checking out the local supermarket for snacks and lunches (and even drinks to take back to accom) will save you a fair few on meals. It’s also good for sweet presents! #pttravel

A5 Shop away from main drags or tourist areas. Then you're more likely to acquire purely local items not made in China. #pttravel

A5 #pttravel I think know what you want to see. Recap the area & what it has to offer first thing in the morning & I take my phone with me so I have mapping & tourist apps if I get stuck.

A5 #PTTravel See if you can buy a card which gives you admission to the main attractions. Or, check out the brochure rack at your hotel or the TIC. Those leaflets often have a discount voucher inside.

If you are lucky and get to travel for work… tag an extra day of leave on - pay for a extra day of accommodation and take a day to explore… not always possible but here’s a few of the results of doing just that…most expensive part is getting to the destination

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. Visit the tourist information office in the destination. They will have loads of leaflets + maps, info about discounts, maybe even free walking tours available. And they're always good for recommendations for food + drinks. #PTTravel

A6 #PTTravel Do not try to see/do too much in one bite! I know several people who've done 'If it's Tuesday, this must be Brussels' coach tours ... and, really, have seen very little.

A4 You know, I've moved away from a list since the pandemic. I've done my trips of a lifetime, like Antarctica and seeing Everest from base camp.
I think now it's just appreciate each trip and savour the travel moments
