Q3: Do you research hidden gems first or literally stumble across them? #WeekendWanderlust

@wildheartedblog @WWTravelChat I went in Nov. 2011 and it was not over crowded. The waters were beautiful.

A3: Both! I do as much research ahead of time as possible but leave room to explore and stumble upon things! #WeekendWanderlust

A1: hidden gems are places that aren't crowded and aren't advertised on travel websites. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte I love how people can make some serious emotional attachments to spots that others could care less about. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @BCpostergirl @BCpostergirl @WWTravelChat Oh okay. I've heard recently issues about that so that makes sense. I've heard it's absolutely gorgeous though! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @BCpostergirl @BCpostergirl @WWTravelChat I was thinking the same thing! Especially Ste Chapelle. Tulum is gorgeous, but the marketing folks are digging in lately. :( #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat We’ll make a note of places we hear about, but really don’t search for hidden gems when planning #travel. I mean, how hidden can it be if everyone’s talking about it? 😉 #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @MandyMPower @MandyMPower @WWTravelChat So we've heard - and are dying to go see! Also, Nimes is on our "hidden gem locator" :) #WeekendWanderlust

A2- I think #Okinawa Japan is my favorite hidden gem. You won't find too many people that didn't enjoy themselves there #WeekendWanderlust #travelingsession

A4: I think a healthy mixture of both but lean more towards hidden gems or unknown spots! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat I try to research places I know I will be visiting, but sometimes I just stumble across them. That makes the places that much more memorable. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog Typically I like to stay off the beaten path so try to avoid hot spots. I like to look for unique places that sometimes turns out to be gems or complete duds. Its all a fun exploration. #WeekendWanderlust
