Love the natural light. Mirror. Nice and well framed. 9/10 @jesseashlock

Thanks to @stevenshalowitz, who had me on his guest on the podcast @towtshow to talk about the place I'd go if there was no going back, travel trends, and @CNTraveler's Gold List: https://t.co/pi6PJ4U7Rz

What I have been listening to on repeat recently, in all seriousness, has been Bing Crosby’s “Mele Kalimaka” and beatless ambient music that I realize would not be out of place in a spa. Clearly my subconscious wishes it could go to Hawaii and get a massage.

@CNTraveler A12: Travel companies must remember that these kinds of practices won't amount to much unless they take into account communities of people in the places where those practices happen. Education and employment are essential to any meaningful sustainability efforts. #TWchats

Q12: Roundtable topic: What is something important that travel companies should do to raise the bar on sustainability/environmental practices? #TWchats

[Jesse Ashlock @jesseashlock]

Oh, I have to add Sea Ranch. That is a very, very happy place. I spent my 40th birthday there.

@CNTraveler A11: I usually answer this question by saying a Greek island, and I’ll stand by that answer. But the forests of Northern California and the Pacific Northwest are also way up there, as are Mexican cities. #TWchats

Q11: Editors in the past two roundtables have a “happy place” when talking about travel plans. Where’s your happy place? #TWchats

[Jesse Ashlock @jesseashlock]

@jules_afar @TWrtobin It gets even worse when you start overlaying it with the Enneagram.

@CNTraveler @TheLowellHotel A10 (2/2): But I think it’s possible for hotels, particularly non-urban ones, to mix and match these qualities, and now I’m thinking about a recent trip my family took to
@GoldenEyeResort in Jamaica. #TWchats

[Jesse Ashlock @jesseashlock]

@CNTraveler A10 (1/2): At this stage in my life, I usually prefer the latter, with a wonderful recent staycation at
@thelowellhotel here in NYC coming to mind. #TWChats

Q10: Roundtable topic: hotelier Ian Schrager talked about "extrovert" hotels (buzzy, fun, high-energy) and "introvert" hotels (low-key, old-school, formal). Which do you fancy, and why? #TWchats

[Jesse Ashlock @jesseashlock]

@CNTraveler A9: I have enjoyed all of these styles, but right now I generally gravitate to the lifestyle/boutique hotel category for the mix of intimacy, personality, and service. #TWchats

Q9: Major resort, lifestyle/boutique hotel or Airbnb? Which of these styles appeals to you most right now & why? #TWchats

@CNTraveler We’re doing a lot of thinking about different approaches to escapism. This recent story about travel through video games was a total surprise to me, and that’s why I loved it. https://t.co/I0tb9xI0By #TWchats

[Jesse Ashlock @jesseashlock]

And we’ve also done a lot of stories about how you can stoke your wanderlust from home: https://t.co/oXfTAdFVRf #TWchats (2/2)

A8: At @cntraveler, we have been doing a lot of great reporting not only on how the crisis affects travelers, but also the human stories, like this one about folks who just opened a boutique hotel in update NY: https://t.co/3mhpIe9NMy (1/2)
