To those of you that don’t know this yet:The Road Less Travelled
 aka #TRLT is a fun, inspiring Twitter chat that takes place on EVERY TUESDAY, and has done so ever since the beginning, i.e. Tuesday 5 November 2013 and never skipped a chat since then, meaning #TRTL chat just recently celebrated its 4 yr anniversary.
Its original founders are Savannah Grace (@Sihpromatum) and Shane Dallas (@TheTravelCamel)

What is a Twitter Chat? 

A brief explanation of how our twitter chat works.

1. Five questions will be posted by hosts on a previously chosen theme at approximately 10-12 minute intervals, and these are prefaced with Q1, Q2 and so on.

2. You answer each question with the relevant answer (i.e. add: A1, A2 etc.) and interact with others. It is important to include #TRLT hashtag to your answer tweets so your tweets can be followed by the hosts and other participants.

For example:
The question we post:
Q2: What city would you like to visit next? #TRLT
Your response:
A2: I would like to visit Wien. #TRLT

3. #TRLT is a very hectic chat, and the best way to follow the ongoing chat is to open separate windows for ongoing #TRLT chat and for example for your Twitter "Notifications" so that you quickly notice if people comment on your tweets or ask some further information thereof, this way you get to interact with them. This makes you more known, and also probably brings you more followers - do not hesitate to follow others too!

4. Chat is an excellent way to get connected. You can get new followers, follow new similar minded people and even get lifelong new friends of other #TRLT members as many of us have.

5. Most important rule: 
HAVE FUN! 😃✌

If you would like to get a reminder of the chat? Tweet me if you do and I will add you to our reminder list!
