#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Unique Experiences
There are a few times in the life of a #TTOT’er when they know they have done something truly spectacular. Something out of this world unordinary. Or something so entirely stomach churning that they simply need to share it with everyone else. Luckily, the Travel Talk on Twitter universe offers an outlet for such stories, and while we were more than excited to hear accounts of unparalleled beauty and relive tales of worldly wonder, we got a little caught up in trying to figure out why on earth anyone would eat monkey brains. Unless you wanted to be Indiana Jones…which is more than understandable.
The questions this week were:
Q1. Where was your most unique travel experience?
Q2. What was your most unique culinary experience while traveling?
Q3. How did an ordinary experience get converted into a unique one?
Q4. Share a photo from one of your most unique experiences. Go!
Q5. A unique experience that changed the way you travel?

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
