A1. When I'm planning a trip I read blog posts and travel articles about the destination. When I'm there I might google nearby restaurants. For things to see and do I check the destination's tourism website and usually they have a brochure available, or even signs posted #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @CharlesMcCool A1: on recent trips I've found Google Maps / reviews to be really useful. Found some great bars / restaurants via google, such as this bar in Helsinki in May đ #TTOT

A2: I try to support with buying local products incl food at markets. I hate tours but if, I go for small local companies not the big ones. Best experience ever been in Iceland, going into the glacier with VigfĂșs. https://t.co/aseK14j566

A2 I try to eat at locally-owned restaurants and support local businesses when shopping. These are also the best places to eat and to shop! #TTOT

replying to @Adventuringgal @Adventuringgal @aardvarksafaris Usually shop at the markets for fresh items; or stop by these unmanned fruit stands in #Hawaii Hawaii; and you leave $$ in the drop box and take your food. #TTOT

A2. Chose independent restaurants and cafes, shop at independent boutiques, street markets or at a minimum chains specific to the country, chose independent tour providers. #ttot https://t.co/Np4GiFhDft

A3: Itâs important to support local business, many locals suffer from big providers. I visited Uros Floating Islands this year and stayed, it was sad to hear but good to see this family made it out of the rat race and making their own business. @travelhouseuk @iamvagabond #TTOT

Though the cities may be small, they offer natural escapes, historic parks, and plenty of green space to wander

A3. I've really experienced the benefits of traveling locally the past 2 years. When international trip plans fell through I learned to appreciate my own city and state. I've gone places I would not have otherwise! From a global perspective you lessen your carbon footprint. #TTOT

replying to @Adventuringgal @Adventuringgal @travelhouseuk A3 You have a deeper connection to a place when you get to know some of the people. Plus, travelling local supports the economy and the environment! (Photo of me with a very friendly local pizzeria owner in Rome!) #TTOT

replying to @Adventuringgal @Adventuringgal @UpAndAwayMag A4 As much as I want to keep them secret, I've been lucky to find so many thanks to other people sharing them. One of my favourite local gems is this view of Prague that is like 5 mins from our house! #TTOT
