#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Best Travel Tips
The Travel Talk on Twitter‘ers have got a very particular set of skills. Skills they have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make them an absolute dream for people like us… and this week it was time to divulge their tried and tested travel tips to the barracks. The #TTOT veterans got to strut their stuff in front of the whippersnappers, and a whole host of invaluable advice was passed between the ranks. Wading into the proceedings with our size 10 boots, here are the Shout Outs for the most deserving globe-troopers…
The questions this week were:
Q1. Everybody has a secret travel tip – It’s time to spill it!
Q2. What is the best travel tip somebody ever shared with you?
Q3. What is the best travel tip that you give to others that you can never follow?
Q4. What tip sounded weird at first, but then became very useful throughout your travels?
Q5. What travel tip do you wish someone had told you before your trip?

About the Author (Author Profile)
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.Subscribe
