A2 Google map of course! #travelIST #smarterTravel

@JyothyKarat Does Google Maps stunt one's natural sense of direction? Just curious. #SmarterTravel

Not when you are not gifted with that (sense) to begin with :D #travelist #smartertravel

Please RT Q4 Pre-travel research = #SmarterTravel. Myth/ Fact?

Fact #smartertravel

Fact. my 7d #kerala trip was all dynamic, just some reseach on itinerary, finding 2-3 other alternatives for stay!

A4 Fact. It pays to be prepared, especially when you're travelling on a teeny budget #SmarterTravel

I'm assuming here that pre-travel research isn't only about guidebooks. Conversations, chats like these, too

Somewhat. Hope, having a smartphone makes me a smart travel :-)

@geekpack Hmm, a smartphone makes you smart? :) We'll come to that in a bit. Hold onto that thought
