A3: Almost every time I travel I am out of my comfort zone because I hate flying. Being on a plane doesn't feel natural, but I still do it because I love to travel once I'm back on the ground. #PTTravel

A3 #PTTravel Being somewhere I am completely unfamiliar with & another language being spoken. Having to figure out how to go from one place to another & getting it wrong. That’s why I couldn’t do without my phone. It’s my navigator.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. For me it’s more social than anything. I try to push myself to speak to people in tour groups and on long journeys, but I’m not always in the mood to make the effort. #PTTravel

A3 #PTTravel I really couldn't answer that one. I've been in a situation where I couldn't speak the language, and not many people spoke English, but I didn't really feel uncomfortable.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Nope - gone through all my photos & can’t find anything. So instead here’s a photo of me being an idiot! Humour is something I can regularly enjoy! #pttravel

replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua That's tough to face for each overseas trip that you need/want a flight. How do you cope ok? Anything you do to keep fear manageable? Do you have a certain length you can do but longer is too much? #PTTravel

Q4 Share photos of places or activities during travel that got you out of your comfort zone

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Phones are such good travel companions. Translate apps have helped me too. I used to get lost much more in China with no Google maps or really English versions accessible. It is getting better #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3 For me, I suffer with anxiety, so being out of my comfort zone is having no safety net. Trusting strangers with my safety (transport/tour guides etc). If the basics are there for me, I’m then generally fairly chilled about what I see and do 😅 #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I’m not a cake-lover so I had a birthday vg cheesecake! Was yum! Saw friends, family, and the Cutty Sark! Lovely weekend, thank you! #pttravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish It can be hard. I think I'm learning to manage my energy rather than my time and its helping. I'm more extroverted and like time with people but it can be a lot in your groups. How do you recharge? #PTTravel

This is one of the few pictures I took in this place. I just couldn't stay in there for more than a couple of minutes. I spent a while talking to the guide. He couldn't stay long, either, He lost relatives back then, and was visibly distressed.

replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua YES! I have a flight on Tuesday & am excited yet terrified! Hoping I won’t die so I can enjoy my holiday 😅 #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Has anything physically pushed you out of your comfort zone? I know you've mentioned hiking and other challenging trips #PTTravel

A4: Only last week I was on the water, learning how to surf. That was definitely out of my comfort zone but I loved every minute of it. #PTTravel

Q5 What things would you like to do in future on trips that either make you feel comfort or get you completely out of your comfort zone?
Morology
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Felt/did the same on a visit to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. #pttravel
OanaRoua
A5: Probably a combination of both. I like to get out of my comfort zone and try new things - that's what living is for. It would be boring to do the same things all the time, and stay in the same small box #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 I can’t share photos but the first thing that came to mind here was some of the toilet facilities I’ve experienced across the world! *enter photo of whole in the ground here* 🤣 #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @aok_NW Ooh yes I had a great app in Japan that used the camera to translate writing to English #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: Leave preconceptions at home, turn off cellphone, ignore the travel blog, wander away from the map. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Only when I was learning Nordic ski-ing. I got dangerously out of control & headed for a wood. Later, the instructor told me that falling over was a legitimate method of stopping.

A5 #PTTravel I need to go to South America. I still haven’t been & I think that would be out of my comfort zone because I’m unfamiliar with it.

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Yes, I found Auschwitz Birkenau pushed me way out of my comfort zone. A good thing because I won't forget it but a woman was there in our tour group who was a baby liberated and lost her mother very close to the end. Made it hit hard #PTTravel
