A1: Probably my stay at a lodge in the Peruvian Amazon that had a monkey rehab clinic onsite. Many monkeys had run of the accommodation site and I became friends with an orphaned spider monkey who used to take my hand and lead me on walks down the garden path #ttot

A1 Hiking to Charlton Lake that had no road in Oregon. I was following the trail around a curve & came face to face with a doe. We both froze & looked at each other for what seemed like eternity. Then like magic she suddenly pranced into the air & disappeared in the trees. #TTOT

A3. I would Google it. & use phrases like “location” whale watching ethical / sustainable / responsible, etc
Don’t rely on one single site, do your own research.
