A2- I use a few different strategies depending on where I'm going. The key is to do your research before and know what your options are #ttot #travelingsession

A3. I basically only use my iPhone but I did recently start using a new app called #EasyWayPublicTransport which really helped me out with figuring out bus stops/routes in a few cities that don’t have a metro. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A3-On my last few trips I started using GoTenna GPS Device & so far it's the best travel companion. Through it, you can text each other & share your locations without data or Wi-Fi as long as you stay within about a 5 km range of one another, just like a walkie-talkie. #TTOT

A3 RFID tags - as back up for when your suitcase gets lost in transit. How else do you stand a chance to find your luggage?
I don't know, as I ordered them and they got lost in the post. (still trying to get them) #ttot c TILE RFID tags

replying to @TravelDudes Yesterday I got the recommendation to test the Komoot app for hiking. I haven't done that yet, but that might be the next "item" I'll get for traveling. :-) #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @Travel_Session A2. Buy a local SIM. Traveling to certain countries for work has highlighted the risks of bringing your own phone, in terms of spyware and hacking. I bring an inexpensive unlocked phone which I can wipe when I get home without loss of any of my normal data. #ttot

Completely agree. I always turn my phone on "data restriction" but the software makes it as easy as possible to "undo" it by accidentally hitting that button & then it's a unwanted upload attack #TTOT https://t.co/y8ZMRWVbfh

A3 I got a heated jacket and I absolutely love it! I always feel the cold and its been so great on recent trips. If you also feel the cold I highly recommend getting one! #ttot

replying to @SharLivingstone @SharLivingstone @SonjaSwissLife @Travel_Session I would argue (very unaggressively 🤗) that if you are relying on too much tech then you're not on holiday. Which is fine. Many people travel for different reasons. But for a new traveller, I would always advise them to take as little as possible. #TTOT

A1 THIS is an important factor I know too well. Thanks for bring it up. Alternative means of contact from family & friends is necessary to back up poor mobile service. #TTOT https://t.co/Dl7OAbpEyD

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife hahaha. there are still enough other distractions. ;-) But seriously, the app notifications are really aggressive, especially the ones from damn Facebook. #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife I actually called my phone company and had them block all data when I’m out of the country because we got hit with a bunch of charges when we were “near” (but not over) the US/Canada border. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A1. Limit what you bring so that you don't distract yourself. But also don't be afraid to bring what you really love. I am normally content with Kindle, phone, camera and a battery pack that can charge them. #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @fashionho Japan is a real mess in terms of data for travellers - I wish someone would fix it for the Rugby and Tokyo Olympics. Complicated, expensive and confusing and hard to use. Safaricom in Kenya was really good! #ttot

replying to @aardvarksafaris @aardvarksafaris Do you know it? A friend told me that they had the complete package for €20 instead of €30. But I would first try it with the free 1 region. #ttot
