As someone who has been using Twitter obsessively to connect with other travelers and people who share interests in making the world a better place, I have trouble keeping a track of all the hashtags and weekly chats relating to travels and “saving the world.” So, I thought I should make a list that would be beneficial for me and others.
Mondays:
#TRAVEX: #TRAVEX - Mondays from 10 PM to 11 PM GMT/ 5 PM to 6 PM EST - This chat is founded by two travel tweeters, @travelsquire and @theexplorateur.
Tuesdays:
#NUTS: Not-so Usual Therapy Session - Tuesdays from 8:30 pm to 9:30 GMT/ 3:30 pm to 4:30 PM EST - While the questions are not always travel related, many travelers participate in this chat.
#TTOT: Travel Talk on Twitter – Tuesdays at 9:30 am and 9:30 pm GMT/4:30 am and 4:30 pm EST - A theme is selected by a group of traveler, and there are five questions, created by any travelers who post suggested questions a week before the chat via Travel Talk on Twitter Facebook fan page.
Wednesdays:
#TravelBL: Travel Bucket List - Wednesdays at 6 pm and 12 am GMT/ 12 pm and 6 pm EST - This chat, created by Maria at LatinAbroad, focuses discussing expanding your travel bucket list, obviously!
#NPTalk: NPTalk - Wednesdays from 8 pm to 9 pm GMT/ 3 pm to 4 pm EST - This chat allows people to connect with non-profit organizations to share ideas that will help non-profit organizations innovate, be creative and meet their challenging goals.
Thursdays:
#EXPCHAT: Expedia Chat - Thursday from 5:30 pm to 7 pm GMT/ 12:30 pm to 2 pm EST - While Expedia sponsors a weekly chat, Spencer at @spencerspellman hosts it.
#TNI: Traveler’s Night In - Thursdays from 8:30 pm to 10 pm GMT/ 3:30 pm to 5 pm EST - #TNI, created by ZipSetGo.com, is one of the biggest travel chats on Twitter. A theme is selected by the hosts at ZipSetGo.com and/or sometimes, by guest hosts. These chats often have a sponsor who will giveaway awesome prizes to select people who participate in the chat. For example, one week, DoubleTree by Hilton sponsored the chat and gave away two free night hotel stays to one lucky winner and free signature cookie tin of DoubleTree by Hilton chocolate chip cookies to ten lucky winners. I was certainly one of the lucky winners to win the cookies!
If I forgot to mention any other important notable travel-related chats or chats relating to “saving the world,” please do let me know!
