Chatting with travel experts around the world every day, we get an overwhelming influx of information varying from the ideal holiday destinations, to tried and true packing tips, to the best apps to use while travelling. Conversations occur in real-time during Twitter Chats using various travel hashtags, such as #luxtravelchat (our favourite for obvious reasons), #RGChat and #ttot, or over longer periods of time via blog posts and their subsequent comments back and forth by the travel community. We're keeping a sharp eye on it all and will try share as much of the useful stuff with you here so you can make the most of the experts' experiences!

Now it wouldn't be a proper travel blog post without making you salivate over some gorgeous new destinations so here are a few from the #RGChat, hosted by @RoughGuides on Natural Wonders: Thanks to the travel Twitter community for providing these travel, packing and technology tips and of course for the images above.
