About the Travel Tweeter

The Travel Tweeter lives most of the time in Southwest Florida, but frequently travels and takes up residence in places all over the world. In addition to this blog, she writes and blogs about her local region. After having spent many years, editing and publishing the works of others, she has enjoyed getting back to her first love.

What astounds the tweeter is that Social Media has opened up a whole new pathway for virtual travel and communication.  In any one day the tweeter may exchange tweets with a journalist in Italy, a sushi chef in Tokyo, a hotelier in London, a restaurant owner in Tuscany, a traveler living in British Columbia e.g.

The Tweeter shares blog posts  on her travels and notes interesting travel tweets and blogs for those who love to keep learning about the world they live in through her own travel and the experiences of others.

Travel Issues and Troubleshooting

New APP helps Travelers Navigate Medical Needs Abroad

I remember a scary time in Rome when I experienced an Asthma attack and had to seek local medical attention..another when my spouse caught a horrible cold in Amsterdam that needed attention. Not to speak of the times I've wandered into a pharmacy in Italy or France, trying to find a medication or particular healthcare product.

Traveling Solo in London

Recently reading a blog from Isabelle's Travels (@isabellestravel on Twitter) on traveling alone in Paris caused me to reflect on some solo travel of my own.  Perhaps the city I have spent more time alone in than any other in the world outside the US is London.  Having had several jobs that took me solo to London and then later accompanying a spouse who had business there..... I have wandered and discovered much of the city on my own on travel there.

Failure to Launch -- Researching My First Cruise -- Some Tips I have Learned

Yes, I have to admit it...other than charters in the BVI, small river tours, and self-cruises, I have never taken a cruise on one of those big cruise ships. I have travelled all over the world many, many times, been just about everywhere, been on cruise ships many times, but I have failed to launch. I can't explain why...or maybe I can but... Anyhow, I think it's time I tried a cruise especially since right now the prices are right.
