Footprints and memories are all you need!
We hear about responsible travel more and more, but what does it mean? No one sets out to do harm or hurt anyone or anything. But could it be that we are doing something that we don’t realise is harmful? Perhaps we just don’t think about the implications of our choices and actions?
How to be a responsible traveller
Responsible travel covers a lot of things. You could choose to avoid business that practise animal cruelty, or to support small businesses, collectives and social enterprises. It’s also about not being wasteful – creating rubbish that ends up on the side of the road instead of being properly managed. The more I see how different communities live around the world and what we do to our environment, the more I want to do whatever I can to protect our planet for others to experience long after I’ve returned home.
