Authentic Experiences

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool @raptorsridge A2: I cross-country skied and went reindeer sledding in Northern Lapland where I interacted with and learned from the native Sami people. #TRLT
replying to @cactusjoe333 @cactusjoe333 @CharlesMcCool What an incredible view over Bagan! I took a photo of the balloons at dawn from the ground (but I cannot share it at the moment) - so instead here is dawn in Bagan. #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool @raptorsridge A2) Taking the Indian-Pacific train across Australia may have been the most adventurous "Authentic Experience" that I've had since it was the longest time & distance that I've been on a train. #TRLT
A1. Authentic experience for me is spending time with fishing 🎣 villages of Sudd Swamp, South Sudan. It is one of #TRLT . And it is home to some of the largest Nile perch in Africa.
Hiking up to 13,500 ft in Colorado Rockies. Felt like my lungs would explode. Friends left me behind and said they'd get me on way back. I was slow, but made it. #trlt https://t.co/8j5zg0Qgii

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @CharlesMcCool A2: Getting invited and living with locals for a good length of time, going to market cooking eating drinking together. #trlt
A3: The Isfahan Music Museum in Iran was a fascinating insight into traditional Iranian instruments and music. Including a concert and rousing rendition of Happy Birthday (in both English and Farsi) to celebrate my birthday. #TRLT
A2: The food options in the late afternoon at Forodhani Park in Stone Town, Zanzibar were worthy of a return visit! An authentic experience! #TRLT
replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas A1: Anything that gets me close to the local culture. Like learning about the Masai way of living from the Masais in Kenya #TRLT https://t.co/F5VrSyRpNv
A3: an Authentic Experience that touched my heart on The Road Less Travelled was trading shoes for hugs and leather art, with George & his family, in Varadero, Cuba. This exceptional opportunity nurtured a deeper connection that always resonates with me.

Have you been on a #Caribbean cruise? https://t.co/N7Fxsvj7ma Do you have a favourite port? We enjoyed all our stops on this winter trip. #TRLT #TTOT
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @LindaPeters64 A3. Almost every experience in travel touches my heart (except butt cramp, but the clue’s in the name). The good, like seeing something I never thought I’d see, and the bad, like witnessing homelessness or poverty in places I thought I wouldn’t. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A3) Being outside of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was special "Authentic Experience" because knew that my Dad had been there years earlier during the Korean War, going inside to see the gardens was just icing on the cake. #TRLT
