Did you join in on the Twitter #TripAdvisorChat on #WomensTravel held on March 11? We had so much fun! Participants offered tips for women traveling solo, talked about the best travel apps to have when jetsetting to your next destination, and shared some pretty awesome pics of trips we’ll never forget.
Here are a few of the highlights from the chat–do you have any tips of your own that you’d like to add?
Q1: Do women want different things from travel than men? If so, what? #TripAdvisorChat #WomensTravel
