Q1 via @WayfairerTravel Do you prefer to see the main sights of a destination or explore the more obscure places? Give your reasons. #TTOT

A1. Definitely both! There's a reason the major sights are popular...but you have to balance it with getting away from the crowds. #ttot

A1: I prefer to accidentally stumble upon main sights by wandering around new places without looking up exactly where they are. #TTOT

A1 I go straight to obscurity. Why? It’s just who I am. Everyone heads to Lake Como. I prefer Lago Maggiore Borromean Islands #Italy with white peacocks & Stresa where Hemingway wrote ‘Farewell to Arms’ #TTOT @wikicommons @pixabay

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @WayfairerTravel @NatGeo A1: Ever since I read Bob Krist's book Spirit of Place (a travel photography how-to book) I prefer slowing down, exploring unique vantage points, and capturing "non-typical" views. No "main sights" for me! #TTOT #TRAVEL

A1 I love thoses accidents also. I like to look up the location up after I've seen them for a lasting overview of a place #TTOT https://t.co/DARjleqKFr

replying to @WanderWorld_ A1 I prefer to see a combination of both. sometimes the more obscure places are the most beautiful and natural - allowing you to really get to know an area! #TTOT

@wheresshellyii @WayfairerTravel #TTOT A1. It is not that binary. Some sights you have to see, you might not ever get back again. But the BEST sights and experiences are always found when randomly walking and exploring w/o any plan or map.
One planned, one random, which is better? Both!

A1. Not really a choice anymore...almost on automatic pilot. I see where everybody else is going - then head in the opposite direction.
