replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Australia or an African safari doesn’t have to be crazy expensive. There are plenty of budget ways of doing them, including swapping houses. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A4 I’m headed to Italy’s Amalfi Coast this fall. If I weren’t paying with my points & miles, it would cost a fortune! #TravelSkills

A4: We haven't actually taken any of these private tours, but they'd cost you a pretty penny: https://t.co/GgfdDufE70 #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills TIP Australia is a big country but with our network of airlines and transport systems, two weeks will give you plenty of time. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Feeling spendy? Consider flying in business class to Australia! You can always use your miles, but paying for it will run about $5,000 to $7,000 roundtrip. #TravelSkills

A4: In terms of equivalencies it’s whenever I cash out frequent flier miles for First Class long haul seats :) #travelskills

replying to @mysshineholiday I slept for 8 hours but still had to find ways to occupy the 9+ remaining hours on the flight—I watched 3 movies, worked on emails, and ate a lot of snacks #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills Most expensive trip I’ve taken? #travelskills. Any last minute booking. Flying Dubai to UK on Sunday at a cost of £900, probably my most expensive to date #travelskills

replying to @theplanetd @theplanetd #TravelSkills I’ve been twice - both times on the east coast with Uluru added to my second trip (both 2 months long). Loved it and thought of moving there for a while.

I think there are frequent flights to Iqaluit in the Eastern Arctic, but the weather can be a big problem #TravelSkills

replying to @nataliediscala @nataliediscala @cjmcginnis @JohnnyJet Fraser Island is very cool. #travelskills

I don't like heights so no ziplining for me, thank you. I do enjoy surfing. I'm not amazing but I can manage well in easy spots such as Waikiki. Had a nice lesson and several decent rides at #BondiBeach maybe 10 years ago. A5 #travelskills #Australia #surfing #travel #Sydney

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @Australia That is definitely #goals! #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A5 I’m always up for a strenuous and scenic hike! A great place to do that after a long flight is in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. #TravelSkills

A5: Love to kayak, zip lining is fine too. Depends on where I am to be honest #travelskills
JohnnyJet
replying to @Australia @Australia A5 I’m not into extreme adventure. I prefer soft adventure like snorkeling, hiking, hot air balloon safaris or surfing (photo is from #Noosa!) … #TravelSkills

Surfing is not my forte, but I'd love to get better at kite surfing - (this was my coach in Maui) #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Do your research on adventure activities before you leave to find the best operators, deals and time to go. Also, book in advance so you don’t get denied during busy times. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Australia has some of the best waves in the world! I took surfing lessons on the Gold Coast near Brisbane back in the day. #TravelSkills

replying to @MarjiStevens @MarjiStevens @theplanetd Me too! I wanted to move to #Australia after graduating- but the work visa process was too daunting for my 21yo self #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A5: I'm a fan of anything with heights involved. Zip-lining is one of my faves, but I'm all about something with a fear element. Height + thick glass = adventure to me. #TravelSkills
