Q2 via @SonjaSwissLife: Tell us about a tech-free trip that you've taken, which tech device/tool you left at home and what were your conclusions from the experience. #TTOT

A2-Travelling to majestic #Kenya, we unanimously enforced a 'no-phone' rule, in our entire stay. We felt inspired & rejuvenated at #MasaiMara safari; the big 5 are stunning up-close. š
We found a chance to actually connect with each other.

A2 Week in northern #Mallorca (H/T @ataxiascot) with only phone service (no wifi) & camera. Distraction-free, able to go deeper into the place, meet people & discover culture. Welcome feeling of disconnect from āoutsideā & genuine relaxation. #TTOT Images: @SonjaSwissLife

A2: I've been to a few places where I've had no phone/data range, so not having my phone doesn't bother me as long as I have my camera! #ttot

A2 Walking in the Namibian desert without a phone tracking desert lions. There is something very freeing being uncontactable 24/7 and following the story of the desert through tracks left behind by the wildlife. #ttot

A2. A tech-free trip that I took would probably be 2004, when I visited Tokyo, Japan. I don't own a smartphone or laptop. There were no social media, just a Lonely Planet guide book, tourist maps and my DSLR camera. I just explore and got "lost". Very fun times!

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @SonjaSwissLife A2 - I didn't take my laptop on a recent trip to Indonesia. I found it liberating (although it was a short trip so I didn't have to work) #ttot

A2: I always take my phone wherever I go however if it's a holiday I hardly ever use it apart from taking photos #ttot
SonjaSwissLife
A2 Yes, @wheresshellyii That's my priority also. Even when I had the phone, I didn't use it and also had the Internet connections restricted. Love this #photograph you took in #Japan #TTOT https://t.co/RImMjCO96K

A2 Then you must be an expert on #techfree travel @wanderlustwlee especially in a country so far from home & our usual services. Bravo. So glad that you enjoyed it. #TTOT https://t.co/HnzvRf6RiQ

replying to @JetlagandMayhem @JetlagandMayhem @wheresshellyii A2 I do agree. LIBERATING to be #techfree Plus, I find my PC is HEAVY and not always able to connect to some wifis anyway so I'm not taking it now & hope to buy a newer one for home. #TTOT
SonjaSwissLife
A2 I am already planning my future travels, @travelhouseuk to be #techfree & #flightfree. Definitely worth it for me. #TTOT https://t.co/UqT6NqdA70

A2 Bravo, @paigerpenland That's a great story. 2 months #techfree up north in #SouthAmerica! I imagine also that because of it & having to check in cafes for email that you met a lot of local people plus all that relaxing #ttot https://t.co/NOCol0121o

replying to @wanderlustwlee @wanderlustwlee @travelhouseuk @Workaway A2 It's certainly a great start @wanderlustwlee with just offline Kindle reading & quite impossible to take so many books if you love reading at a destination. The important part is the 100% disconnected. #TTOT

A2 #Techfree for short trips is certainly beneficial. Good for you, @JetlagandMayhem #TTOT https://t.co/dsaQrJyYoa

A2 Hi Luke, @digitalGeek_au. That's great news. Do you know where you guys will be headed for a #techfree trip? #TTOT https://t.co/FNrBqYUY0P
