Once upon a time in New Zealand, a very large, very loud, hissing cockroach landed on Hannah’s head. In Florida, she mistook a jellyfish for a plastic bag and was promptly stung. In Newquay, a penguin with murderous intent tried to eat her shoe. Despite all this, Hannah can’t be kept away from touching things that she probably shouldn’t in foreign countries. This is probably a misguided attempt at experiential learning. She has lived in Cornwall most of her life and is still trying to adjust to the time difference in London, despite having moved there many months ago. When she grows up she wants to be a Mexican Luchador.
Ahh the bucket list. That ever-growing inventory of wonderful things we one day hope to conquer. People have built their lives around such things…and some have even thought up rather incredible and totally awesome campaigns based on the notion. Ahem. The fact is, bucket lists and travel go together like Morgan and Jack (think actors [...]
The #TTOT Shout Outs are BACK with a bang, baby, and what a heck of a topic to return to! The Travel Talk On Twitter universe has spoken and there are huge tips just flying about everywhere so, without further ado, we present to you this very sensible (and not at all ridiculous) round up [...]
In January 2013, My Destination launched a competition with a mission in mind – to find the next global travel superstar. We called it the Biggest Baddest Bucket List, largely because we were going to be giving away the HUGEST most INSANE prize in the history of the universe…and because all the other names we [...]
Although it may seem like the hardened travel nuts of the #TTOT universe would like nothing more than to spend forever traversing the world, there’s nothing like a good old natter about what they miss most to moisten those misty eyes. Stopping short of melancholy, this week’s Travel Talk on Twitter was all about celebrating [...]
We’re so excited and we just can’t hide it! #TTOT got down and funky today, as movers and shakers all over the world sung the praises of their personal music tastes. From the melodious to the odious, by way of Rebecca Black and back again, we’ve composed a list of some of the more harmonious [...]
It’s time to get grounded in #TTOT this week, as the keen, green tweeting machines that are the Travel Talk on Twitter collective shoot the breeze about ecotourism. We’re making it a mission to understand our emissions and keep our excursions on the sustainable side. Granted, some are probably better at this than others…but be [...]
Although on the surface, one might be forgiven for thinking that the melange of members in the Travel Talk on Twitter-verse are the types to eschew all but the bare essentials, it seems that when it comes to private passions, we’re just as decadent (and occasionally degenerate) as the next chap! From feasting on MaccyD’s [...]
Whether holy happenings, festive affairs, one off occurrences or annual experiences are your thing, there’s simply no doubt that big events go hand in hand with the world of travel. This week, the wanderers of the world talked all things momentous, from immense music fests to intimate personal quests, all in aid of the only [...]
There comes a time in all our lives when we could do with a little breather…but luckily, when the daily grind of the 9-5 gets too much, there’s a whole world just a-waiting for us to take interest! This week in Travel Talk On Twitter, we took leave of the hum-drum to focus on our [...]
Travel Talk On Twitter came over all hush-hush this week, as the RTW collective discussed the concealed delights they’ve happened to stumble upon throughout their assorted adventures. From furtive food stops, to secret little rest spots, to mysterious monuments, it seems this lot don’t so much as go off the beaten track as ignore it [...]
‘You think you know fashion, but fashions a stranger’, so said a wise man once upon a time. Here in the #TTOT universe, we’re dedicated followers of the latest trends, slaves to the catwalk and entirely in vogue at all times. Even when stumbling off a 7AM long haul flight, flip-flopped, harem-panted and bleary eyed [...]
We know that journeying from place to place can sometimes take a while, and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’ can be somewhat distracting. In light of this we’ve come
