Yes and more and more so. I even turn off all sounds of FB but they still get through so now I work on my PC mute all day - I'm more efficient and relaxed. #TTOT https://t.co/MfC2VMjLTQ

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A4-Travelling without tech isn't a nightmare but travelling without your phone might be. You only have to find a balance between the necessary usage and addiction. Once we absorb that technology is a luxury, not a necessity, it is easier to minimize the distractions. #TTOT

A4 honestly? A bit of both. I like my tech and use/rely on it a lot. But if it was taken away from me I think it’d be a great break.
My other half using his phone waaaay too much, so I’d like us to take a digital detox holiday.
Still would want my kindle though lol! #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A4. I spend significantly less time connected when I travel. I prefer to just enjoy where I am and let the rest of the world pass me by. That being said, I traveled before we had easy access to online maps. They really do make exploring much easier. #ttot

A4. I can remember an age when all I had was a camera and a guidebook. And you had to actually talk to people at hostels and cafes 😉.
But now. well I try to keep it to a minimum but I’m certainly not off tech completely when I travel. #ttot

replying to @aardvarksafaris @aardvarksafaris @fashionho And you would expect that a destination like Japan, who are so much into tech, that they would be able to handle something like this easier. #ttot

A4. A relief! On the way to Everest Base Camp back in 2012, Internet access was few and far between ... so we like talked to each other! As soon as a hut had good wi-fi everyone stared gormlessly into their smartphones instead which was pretty sad 😥 #ttot https://t.co/SZYBTB2ML9

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife A3. I don't have tech gadgets that are just for traveling. The things I bring are things that are an important part of my daily life. I am as likely to have them while out and about locally. If I don't need it daily, I don't need it on the road. #ttot

replying to @LadiesWTravel @LadiesWTravel it's really good, even does photos that are slightly better than a camera phone, but it's the smooth video you mainly get it for #TTOT

I would go for a trip without any tech at all, but that would be not happening many times. To have a bit of tech is fine, just don't let it run your trip. It should be still you, who should enjoy it. #TTOT
