The Future of Travel
Sustainable Travel
We believe in a sustainable form of tourism, and that may be at odds with many of its modern-day styles. There have been a lot of moments in our travels when the effects of humankind have left us depressed.
Things like plastic on the beaches of the Mediterranean, bleached coral in Seychelles, and a poached elephant on the border of Kenya and Tanzania have all been low points in our travels. It’s right there can be a lot of negatives to travelings, such as overdevelopment, pollution, environmental degradation, and loss of culture.
ETHOS
We Promise To Promote Sustainable Travel.
While we have seen the adverse effects of tourism, we’ve also seen the good. Conservation efforts in Namibia, social enterprises on Zanzibar, ethical tour companies, and sustainable businesses have all put smiles on our faces. Our goal is to help provide travelers with resources, products, and ideas to make travels more sustainable. We believe in partnering with brands and companies that hold those same morals.
We believe travel can be a force for good. It can change a traveler’s concept of the world while empowering local communities and preserving the environment for future generations. In many ways, travel’s good can also be in how it affects the traveler. If we all find our platform, we can be the change we want to see, and we’ll make this world a better place. We are not perfect, but traveling has changed the way we feel about the world, and after every journey, we find our behavior and mindset has changed for the better.

How To Travel More Sustainably
Donate
If you can afford to travel, you can afford to donate, even if it’s just a little. After pumping years of time and effort, we now have a successful blog. In doing so, we’ve decided to donate part of our proceeds from products sold to charitable causes. Have a favorite charity? Let us know!
Reduce
This seems to be one travel moment we have over and over and over—plastic polluting our world. We feel like a broken record, but nearly every beach we visit littered with plastic.
However, it’s only the tip of the iceberg with a plastic set to outweigh fish in a few decades. Start by reducing plastic waste, being conscious of your trash, carry a travel water bottle, and decline plastic bags and straws.
Awareness
Some of tourisms worst flaws come from a lack of understanding. As travelers and people, we need to understand how our actions influence the world in which we live.
We love going out for hikes but often find trash left behind and that trails are often ignored, both lead to environmental degradation. Think about future generations, other travelers, and locals who want to enjoy that place too. Leave no trace.
Support
A great way to make the world a better place is to support the right initiatives when traveling. This means choosing to spend your money with ethical tour companies, purchase from small vendors, and support local communities.
Compassion
Above everything else, we believe the world needs more compassion. We care about a great many things. If we all cared about one another, the environment, and wildlife, the world would be a much kinder and better place. We’ll continue to push to preserve wildlife and culture around the world.
One of our many passions includes the last wilds in Africa. Poaching and greed is an epidemic and conservationist are at war. They need our political support from home and tourism dollars abroad.
