As much as traveling is amazing, it still has bad effects on our planet that we simply can’t ignore. Now that we’re temporarily unable to travel, we can explore some ways to do it more sustainably in the future. Here’s what we recommend.
Closer Destinations
Unless there’s a specific place in the world you want to see, perhaps choosing a destination closer to you could be a better choice. Traveling locally instead of across the world means less fuel burned and less CO2 emissions.
Avoid Famous Places
Destinations that are famous among tourists are overrated anyway! Instead of being annoyed by the crowds at pretty much every famous site, go for hidden gems that offer you a unique experience. Make your trips as unique as possible by creating a custom itinerary that allows you to see all the things that interest you personally.
Practice Slow Travel
Try traveling slower and enjoying every moment of your trip. Start with booking a train instead of a plane so you can enjoy the view from the window. Spend more time exploring one place instead of rushing from one to another just to be able to cross off more things of your to-visit list.
