#JSETT Twitter Chat Recap: What Makes You Travel?
For whatever reason, in whatever way, we’ve caught the travel bug—and we’re not looking to get rid of it anytime soon. Read on to see what, why, and who inspired people around the world to keep on planning that next adventure.
Q1: How long are you usually in one place before you start looking to go somewhere else?
A1.) Depends on the place. Sometimes a day, sometimes not for a week or longer. #JSETT

#JSETT A1 I like to go different places various lengths of time, Alaska in Summer a couple weeks per stop is good, California a couple days

@JetsetExtra A3 #JSETT My parents took my sister and I on trips in the U.S. and cruises. That gave me the bug!

Q4: Do you find you’re more the person you want to be when traveling vs. when you’re not traveling? How are you different?
A4. I crave exploration, seeing new things, doing new activities, eating new foods. Travel is easier for those! @JetsetExtra #JSETT
