#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Best Travel Tips
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 of today’s best remarks from top travelling types the world over…accompanied of course by our patented attempts at punnery. Enjoy!
The questions this week were:
Q1. What’s the “best travel tip” people offer but never works for you?
Q2. What are your best travel photography tips?
Q3. Best travel tip you didn’t follow (and are still beating yourself up over).
Q4. Best travel tip your mom ever gave you?
Q5. Top 3 things you’ve learnt not to leave the house without when going on a trip?
The ‘Knot Up To Standard’ Shout Out for rooting out society’s real problems.
@sarahptravels: The hotel conditioner NEVER works! It always feels more like body lotion to me! Makes my hair frizzier usually!
The ‘Graining the Advantage’ Shout Out for fabulous photographic fodder.
@VentureMag: If you can’t take a tripod, take a jiffy bag half-filled w/ uncooked rice. You can then wedge your camera in trees, on boulders etc.
The ‘What’s The Mutter With You?’ Shout Out for playing it safe.
@maccathegapper: Don’t be a fool, wrap that tool. Kinda the thing my mum would say.
The ‘Audrey Hep…ooh BURN!’ Shout Out for proving you should do it if you possibly Vati-can.
@travelphotogiri: “If you have a few days, go to Rome!”, she said. I didn’t.
The ‘Knick Knack Travel Pack Give That Guy A Stone!’ Shout Out because life’s a beach.
@hipaway: Travel tip that never works for me: “Stop collecting shells and stones!” Can’t stop always bringing the heaviest souvenirs.
The ‘Nether Go In Without Back Up’ Shout Out for your briefs contribution.
@Trabblr: *High five* for extra underwear!
The ‘Totally Buzz-ted’ Shout Out for refusing to be a sucker.
@seas_it: Me too! Some fools tell me that alcohol attracts them…such rubbish. Everyone knows mosquitoes are teetotallers.
The ‘Better Lake Than Never’ Shout Out for being extremely irrigating.
@ixigorocks: In Switzerland, no matter where you are, you can always spot a lake within 10 miles.
The ‘Thinking A-Hedwig’ Shout Out for trunk-ated travel packing.
@JaysTravellings: Other things to leave behind: hair straighteners, Harry Potter hard cover collection, jumbo-sized ultra-fluffy towel!
The ‘Great E-scrape’ Shout Out for when another one bikes the dust.
@thetravelmanuel: Wear long layers on scooter- even in tropical heat. We didn’t, the tarmac took off our skin instead.
The ‘Mooning Over You’ Shout Out for ass-tronomical awnings.
@Cheapflights: YES!!! My butt isn’t large enough to provide proper shade.
