@CNTraveler I was scheduled to be in Sweden later this month, and was pretty excited to try some earthy Scandinavian fare.
My usual haunt of #TelAviv is pretty delicious in a different style--but a restaurant really has to be amazing to overshadow my husband's culinary talents. #TWchats
Q8: With travel at a standstill, how do you approach travel writing or travel journalism? Readers: What types of stories resonate with you? Links to your top or favorite articles encouraged ... #TWchats
replying to @lovewonderlust @lovewonderlust LOL. We'll do our part too. Happy to expand our waistlines, anything to help. #TWchats
replying to @findinganeish @CNTraveler A5. My favourite airport is Geneva. I love the free rail connections, the exercise bicycles that double as phone chargers and, most of all, the supermarket. Why do all airports not contain a supermarket? #TWChats

@TWtravelnews A6:
1. When a hotel property actively blocks cellular data and/or WiFi signals. One certain Salt Lake City based hospitality giant is notorious for a history of their properties doing that.
2. Resort fees. Just another shady money grab tactic.

Wow! Food is so important to travel #TWchats thank you @jules_afar for all the reccs https://t.co/NBtaeA6LhI
#TWchats New York City is the ultimate choice for a dining-around-the-world experience closer to home. Drive-to city for many, one flight for others. Can't wait to have the restaurants re-open for more than takeout & delivery. Sidewalk cafes & street takeovers? @gayotguide

A7: We would take a foodie tour of our own NYC! From family owned eateries to upscale restaurants, NYC truly has it all. Which is why VWT has partnered with Meals4Heroes to provide local meals to our those working on the front lines! See more: https://t.co/NlUaO1d8Lc #TWChats
A8: Travel is usually more about places and people and experiences than the actual journey and we have focused on that, not on getting somewhere. WONDERLUST is about wonder and that transcends and outlasts everything, even pandemics. A favorite piece of ours: #TWchats

RT @TWrtobin: Very interesting @jules_afar -- expertise in hospitality could indeed count for a lot #TWchats https://t.co/YZN0TvqzpV
A8. I recently wrote I’m trapped not only in my apartment, but a Zen koan: What is a traveler's destination if he can't leave home? Reading books, most recently @BillBryson A Walk in the Woods #TWChats
replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler We’re doing a lot of thinking about different approaches to escapism. This recent story about travel through video games was a total surprise to me, and that’s why I loved it. https://t.co/I0tb9xI0By #TWchats

A8: I loved our recent story about a photographic safari in Kenya, taken pre-Covid…I still love dreaming about places through the eyes of others. And virtual museum visits are huge! - @jacquigiff #TWChats https://t.co/BtSFTbdIRT https://t.co/DORchbpfwq

A8 There's still a huge appetite for travel storytelling that inspires travelers. Even if they're not traveling now, @AFARmedia readers will be the first out the door, on the plane, and in the hotels as soon as it's sanctioned. #TWchats
RT @TWtravelnews: Wow! Food is so important to travel #TWchats thank you @jules_afar for all the reccs
A7. @SeabournCruise for anything by @Chef_Keller and those champagne and caviar afternoons! #twchats
A7 We would vote for #Mexico! Wonderful gastronomic experiences ! #SanMiguelDeAllende #Yucatan, #Jalisco #Twchats #TravewENroute https://t.co/wLdH3PthUS
replying to @jesseashlock @CNTraveler And we’ve also done a lot of stories about how you can stoke your wanderlust from home: https://t.co/oXfTAdFVRf #TWchats (2/2)

A8: Our digital content director @dannen825 says it best 👇👇 #TWchats https://t.co/lfDO8Wrjv4
As a freelancer sending out pitches right now, it feels like travel writing is much more "newsy" -- what's opening now, here's how your favorite destination is dealing with C19, etc. I'd love to get more into the idea of "virtual" travel -- but not just VR. #TWChats https://t.co/Zry0uAX2QW

replying to @awtravelweekly @awtravelweekly A8: For @TownandCountrymag Summer issue, out in June, we did a “Dreambook” of new hotels you’ll want to plan future trips around. No better time to get inspired. Online, I'll be tracking the ins and outs of travel’s slow new start-up. Great to see some movement. #TWchats
And we’ve also done a lot of stories about how you can stoke your wanderlust from home: https://t.co/oXfTAdFVRf #TWchats (2/2) https://t.co/IJTsqkynJ0
replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler To be honest, as a writer, travel pitches have been really hard for me lately. I've shifted back to news writing, but I'm hopeful that changes. I loved the recent interactive piece from @nytimestravel on the future of travel https://t.co/JWZ0Wiruac #TWChats
Yea, one of my favorites @awtravelweekly ... I believe @avidcruiser got me inito Bill Bryson ... Ralph does that sound right? #TWchats https://t.co/KiQ0IoFlBQ
A8: We have scaled back on producing new content since so many hotels are closed right now and we can tell by our stats that very few people are researching trips. We can say "dream for the future" but people are having trouble looking past tomorrow. #TWchats
A8: We've been drawn to the stories that have allowed us to feel like we're transported to the destination. @lauraitzkowitz recently took us to Spain where we cooked, danced and saw the ins & outs of the country in a recent @DeparturesMag piece: https://t.co/y9jQOGYJby #TWchats
A8. Many people - us at ToursByLocals included - are pre-occupied with what the future looks like right now. We appreciate articles that predict future travel trends, while we try to make sense of the present situation. https://t.co/6kGnrYI8Ds #TWchats
