A2 Love your luxury bus description ramshackled, nervous & uncomfortable, long, dangerous. 😂but then I wasn't there! #TTOT https://t.co/IpRc94Y3Hu

replying to @lingointransit @lingointransit I was living in Lausanne for many years. Yes it is gorgeous - all of it. Now I'm on the coast of Portugal getting in my "ocean" time☀️#ttot

replying to @lingointransit @lingointransit we had to change hotels but otherwise it was fine. Ended up hiring a car and driving out to the glaciers, lol #ttot

A4. Everyway you can think of! Booking, asking around, friends, friends of friends, chance meetings, cycling organisations...oh...and in countries where cycling is not so usual any cycle shop will be run by enthusiasts and they will always help or even invite you to stay. #ttot

A2. My #1 Tip is to get Noise-Cancelling Headphones! I'm pretty sensitive to noise & headphones like the @Sony WH-1000XM2 that @kathrindeter and me are sporting here make #roadtrips simply more enjoyable in busses, trains and planes.

A2. Tip 2 is if it's "just" a #roadtrip where you mostly are in cities get a backpack which you can open completely - something like the @GORUCK GR1 is my preferred pack for city trips as opening a pack completely makes access so much easier.

A5 Google maps if planning in advance. If not, just play it by ear and have a wonder town that we've stopped at for a place to eat #TTOT

A3 Point well taken. I haven't done many road trips but driving every day is NOT my preference either. @lingointransit #ttot https://t.co/sKbDRw4KW0

A5: Check Google for food reviews. Check out the food on display and see if anything catches my fancy. Eat where the locals are eating. #ttot

@SonjaSwissLife @CharlesMcCool A5. Ask the hotel/hostel receptionist where THEY last ate out with their significant other on a special occasion. And go there. 😋

A5- Sometimes I ask locals where to eat when I'm on a road trip, but usually I'm just taking shots in the dark. I'm an "If I've never had it, then I wan to try it" type of guy #ttot #travelingsession

replying to @lingointransit @lingointransit A5 Google maps have saved us many times - at least you can relate to what direction one is going. Good tips. #ttot

A3. My best tip is to slow down on your #roadtrip. Don't aim for 800 km days (which are fine to get somewhere) but for max. 80 km days. Stop in villages at local Cafés for coffee & cake, and not at gas stations - and the same goes for eating!

A5. Em? Usually quite easily but knowing what to order in a remote place in a totally unknown language is a lot harder, sometimes you can just point at what others are eating. Sometimes you just have to take a chance. Mostly that's okay. sometimes it's not 🤢#ttot

replying to @lingointransit @lingointransit You always have to include non-driving days off in long roadtrip holidays or you burn out real fast. #ttot

A2 Great tip. I've made do with silicon earplugs for years which at least help with the noise. Never really had the budget for those noise-cancelling headphones nor the space in which to keep when not using. #ttot https://t.co/xyxa90PSkO

replying to @MrBobPowers @MrBobPowers A5 I'd go along with that. I've even gone into the cafe's kitchen (when permitted) to see what was cooking 😋#ttot

replying to @lingointransit @lingointransit Exactly - esp. during a Pandemic. I just love it here. #Portugal #ttot

A4. I try to go swim in Lakes when #bikepacking, but there's websites like @Campspacecom where you can find legal spots for camping in countries that don't have #EverymansRight. For food I use Google Maps or @TripAdvisor, it's easy & I can choose #vegan options.

A5 Yes. This usually works & the suggestions are original & different than at a big hotel's concierge desk. #ttot https://t.co/oenH9CGOnK

@SonjaSwissLife Exactly! What they would suggest professionally might not be the same as what they would recommend personally.

A5. I use pretty much only @TripAdvisor and @googlemaps to find places to eat. Mostly the latter really, as it is super convenient and loads fast.
