TTOT Round-Up
For those of you who are not already acquainted with the speed of light discussion- TTOT (Travel Talk on Tuesdays), the basic rule is- answer the five questions that are put forward by the organisers and include the hash tag #TTOT to be included in the exciting online travel conversation.
For an hour every Tuesday at 9.30am and 9.30pm GMT the travel community get together to exchange stories and advice on a certain topic. Today’s topic was ‘How to keep travel in your life if you are not a professional nomad’- Here are the questions asked this week:
Q1 How can you travel when you can’t afford to travel?
Q2 What things should I consider before moving to another country for six months?
Q3 How far do you need to go to experience travel?
Q4 What jobs are available where you can work while travelling from anywhere in the world?
Q5 What do you do when you get itchy feet but can’t leave yet?
