A7 Social media can help the research & inspiration phases. But we pride ourselves on going to places that are away from the masses, and not to impress people back home. The more undiscovered, the better. We love this contest by @JetBlue: https://t.co/ukOZSz0HwM #TravelSkills

A7. It's made research easier for me. I can find and learn about places that I want to go quicker thanks to the network of people I know around the world via social media. #TravelSkills

replying to @amberparkcouple @amberparkcouple @theplanetd Yes! Didn’t think about social media as tech, but I reach out to local organizations and people before I get to a city (or day one) to ask for input on where to go and what to eat! #travelskills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews A7 Social media is a great way to get recommendations. Example: HELP! Has anyone been to Pompeii? Should I see it on my trip to Italy this summer? #TravelSkills

Q7 How has social media changed the way you plan or take trips? #VisaAmbassador #TravelSkills

A7 Social media helps me discover new places. Planning hasn't changed much otherwise. I also really do love that I don't need a paper ticket when I travel. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @VisaNews [2 of 2] This also is on my mind. https://t.co/5eFVr0FIbl I understand there will always be growing pains, but the technology transition can be one of the most intrusive and sometimes violent transitions. #TravelSkills

Visa advises making a copy of everything in your wallet before your trip and packing it somewhere aside from your wallet or handbag. More tips here: https://t.co/4pB0yudLOg #VisaAmbassador #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A7: I love using Instagram to get a feel for a place before I travel to it. I’ll often seek out restaurants, etc based on local hashtags. I also crowdsource tips from friends via FB or Twitter. #TravelSkills

replying to @TheJourneyGenie @TheJourneyGenie @tweetingtalya @travelskills @ClaireFromYVR A big problem in both Canada & the States is grade crossings. In Europe you nearly never find high-speed trains unprotected from traffic. Here on most routes, any drunk or otherwise dysfunctional driver can wreck a train. #travelskills

replying to @Travel_boomer @Travel_boomer @LandLopers And China is big, too. many more people, less tech, and they've seem to have surpassed us in many ways. Just look at its airports! #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @LandLopers True -- Asia was very quick to go digital, probably because the electronic industry was centered there. But the U.S. is a tech leader too #TravelSkills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews A8 For Americans, I’d have to say London. Of course, the language helps, but they just seem to “get it” when it comes to hosting guests. #TravelSkills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews A8 I think of all the major cities of the world that have great public transportation like London, Paris, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, NYC, Sydney… #TravelSkills

A8 So many are good. But I'll go with Bangkok, I think a lot of Asia is very accommodating to their international visitors. #TravelSkills

replying to @VisaNews @VisaNews TIP When traveling to countries where you don’t speak the language, download Google Translate or ask a younger person if they speak English. Or go into an international hotel and ask for help at reception. #TravelSkills

replying to @Travel_boomer @Travel_boomer @JohnnyJet @VisaNews Cash is also important for tipping, street vendors, etc. I don’t anticipate going cashless any time soon, but have definitely cut down on the amount I’d take with me thanks to my travel credit card. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills You’re really never lost now with Google Earth and GPS. Of course sometimes I get lost on purpose, but its a comfort to know you can put the hotel address into GPS and get back. 😉 #Travelskills #VisaAmbassador
