replying to @philatravelgirl @philatravelgirl @RTWBarefoot I agree with this - getting out of the routine and not-confirming is much easier on the road as one can set their own agenda. #TRLT

replying to @Sh3zz4 @Sh3zz4 @SANParksAENP Absolutely fantastic - wish that was me, I've been around, but never there! Too many places to see, too little time to go everywhere- at leaast not yet, maybe one of these days. 🙃 #TRLT

Surprisingly enough the most interesting culture we have discovered in 22018 was the french culture. Yes @PascalineAndrey is french 🇫🇷 but coming home after 5 years abroad it felt like a discovery and it truly was an adventure.

replying to @Touchse @Touchse A5) Just because you have a reservation and/or voucher for a tour doesn't mean that you're going to go on it until you are physically on it. I learned this the hard way & nearly missed going to the Andes & Uruguay. #TRLT

@TheWildPassage A couple to hand; over the years. Obviously Pripyat is the 'poster child' but the Aral Sea and the ruined rusting ships is quite stunning.
But even close to home, abandoned railway lines have their own adventures. #TRLT
