A4: One of our team members befriended a samurai in Matsumoto, Japan! It looks like they bonded pretty well. #TRLT

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @wmyhappytoday A4- Was staying in a hostel in Riga this past Christmas. Met a woman staying there who just happen to also be from Germany.
We continue to text and talk on the phone. Met already a few times. We are great friends. #TRLT

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @wmyhappytoday A4 Well, sort of answering the question, I enjoyed (very much) seeing @Touchse area of @VisitRovaniemi @thisisFINLAND and hope to return the favor here in US when (if) she visits. #travel #TRLT

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @wmyhappytoday A4) #Diving in Hurghada, Egypt still counts as one of my best local experiences, many of the people on this (an more) picture(s) are still regular contacts globally. some of them we'll see again this summer when we return to Egypt. Looking forward to that already! 😜 #TRLT

A5. Venture out on your own. It opens you up to all kinds of exciting adventures and opportunities with locals and usually one on one! @wmyhappytoday #TRLT Lunch on the Camino with new friends, You never know who you're going meet in Norway. LOL

A4: We were so fortunate to meet our friend Erik, a Patriots staff member, in a random twitter chat. It led us to embarking upon our bucket list trip to a game in Boston. We are still friends....and yes, he's the coolest one in my contact list ;) #trlt

A5 #trlt I'd recommend taking your time. Was at this spot for a couple of hours. Saw many people come and go for a selfie but its character changed throughout the time I was there.

replying to @Touchse @Touchse @wmyhappytoday A5 get off the paved roads. Dirt roads and sand are softer on the feet and tires, and is where the local immersion is. #travel #TRLT #USGulfCoast #LoveFL (one pic is Galapagos and the others are Florida).

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @wmyhappytoday A5 Slow down. Sit at the bar. Raise a glass. Take a stroll through random neighborhoods. Ask questions. Smile. #travel #TRLT

A5: To immerse yourself in local life, ask locals for tips on how they enjoy a day off, or their favorite local restaurant. Discover a farmer's market, chat with vendors,
use public transportation, learn a few local phrases and remember a smile is universal.

replying to @Touchse @Touchse @wmyhappytoday A5: Get lost. I walk everywhere on my first day in a new place. Great for discovering hidden and local parts of a city.
Here's some art I discovered wandering Helsinki this weekend 😁#TRLT

A5: Tips to immerse yourself with the locals: break bread 🥖 with them, find out what their day to day life is like, and their daily struggles. #trlt

A5: Consider small scale stays like a private rental with owners onsite, or a boutique hotel. Start conversations and be genuinely interested in hearing their stories and advice. A small amount of effort with locals goes an incredibly long way. #trlt
