When I began participating in Twitter chats I loved the amount of interacting and great information I was seeing. I also noticed that most chats were about travel. While I love traveling, I am more of an adventure junkie and enjoy local activities like camping and hiking and the occasional road trip. So, about a month ago I started my own Twitter chat called #adventurechat on Monday's at 10 am pst. It's a fun and informative way for me to learn from everyone else's adventures. I've had more than one person ask me for a blog transcript so here we go. I've taken out all retweets and responses that are confusing as well as putting all Q and A's in order. While the pictures were beautiful I do not have the right to include them here but they are all a part of the full transcript on Travelogx.com I've listed the 7 questions I asked and these are the highlights from the first #adventurechat about Favorite Adventures.Q1: What is your favorite adventure you've ever taken or been on?Q2: What/where is your dream adventure?Q3:  

Where do you get adventure ideas? Pictures? Research? Word of Mouth?Q4: What was the last adventure you went on or took?Q5: What/Where is your next adventure?Q6: How do you prepare for your adventures? Or do you like to be surprised?Q7: Share a picture of your favorite adventurous moment #adventurechat• @monicagoesshow: WhooHoo! Welcome to #adventurechat!
