A3 #TravelSkills I love using my iPhone when I travel. My @TMobile plan gives me free data and texts. What a game-changer! Maps, ride sharing, even my @Visa account info all accessible wherever I go!

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @TheJourneyGenie @Clear It's actually unnecessary. As has proved Canada, the UK and EU. USA needs to stop doing it and improve screening in a way that makes sense. #TravelSkills

@Travel_boomer @ClaireFromYVR I know. I fully acknowledge my privilege in having been able to experience it for work.
Now that my partner and I want to do it as a vacation for him, I realize just how prohibitive the cost is. But it's truly one that's worth it. #TravelSkills

A2. What tech advances would I like to see at home? Of course, high-speed rail. We should have it criss-crossing the country, but we love cars to much and our leaders love lobbyists too much. Sigh. #travelskills #travel

A4 Adding your @Visa to ridesharing apps is easy and helps you avoid the headache of counting foreign currencies to pay taxis. #TravelSkills

replying to @ioWAndy @ioWAndy @TMobile @Visa Lucky you! In Canada we get taken advantage of BIG TIME by our cell providers (@koodo #bellmobile @TELUSsupport @RogersMobileCa @FidoSolutions) and finding a SIM isn’t always easy when travelling. #TravelSkills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews TIP Google and Apple maps are great in strange cities, but sometimes it’s better to get lost, interact with locals to find your way! #TravelSkills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews TIP Use @Waze when going from point A to point B to keep your drivers honest or to help you find the most direct route #TravelSkills
