The sustainable travel blog category features blogs that provide tips, guides, and travel experiences from an environmentally conscious viewpoint.

“Girlabouttheglobe

Girl about the Globe - Lisa

Lisa, the founder of Girl about the Globe is a travel journalist and self-confessed travel addict. Since the age of 21, she has travelled to over 100 countries, and mostly as a solo traveller. The blog recommends the best eco properties abroad so you can do your bit for sustainable travel, and also discusses how tourism is affecting local communities abroad and how you can help.

Thoughts
"Start thinking differently about the way that they travel. Begin to see a destination through a local’s eyes. Get to know the locals and how they really think and immerse yourself within the culture, buying goods from local people and not big organisations."

“Iamaileen

I am Aileen - Aileen Adalid

I am Aileen follows the journey of Aileen Adalid, a digital nomad (entrepreneur & travel writer) living a sustainable travel lifestyle. She inspires people through her life story and personal travel adventures, and shares detailed articles that revolve around travel hacks, guides, recommendations, and tips.

Thoughts
“To become a conscious traveler, the best tip that I can give you is to maintain your awareness at all times. This basically means that you should do your homework beforehand, and that at the same time, you should remain to be respectful of the places and the people that you're visiting in order to lessen the impact that you might inadvertently execute."

“Nomadasaurus

NOMADasaurus - Alesha & Jarryd

NOMADasaurus is a blog about long-term adventure travel that focuses on sustainable tourism. Alesha and Jarryd aim to inspire others to go out and travel, by documenting some of the best off-the-beaten-path destinations around the globe.

Thoughts
“Our top tip for someone who wishes to be a conscious traveller is to learn the local customs and etiquette of every country you visit and abide by them, even if they seem unusual to you. Respecting the attitudes and beliefs of the people you will be visiting is the most important thing you can do and will help encourage the positive effects of tourism and culture."

“Christine

Green Pearls® blog - Christine Maul-Pfeifer

Green Pearls® is more than the blog. We are a collection of handpicked, sustainable and unique places worldwide. We have 90 partners in 30 countries and support them in their green communication, spreading the message on eco-friendly tourism

Thoughts
“It is all about making conscious decisions. Choosing an authentic sustainable accommodation alone is a big step in becoming a conscious traveller. Eco-friendly hotels do so much in terms of sustainability, reaching from green architecture and management, over local and seasonal food to supporting the local community through projects and employing locals.

By choosing an eco-friendly hotel, you support the area and protect the environment [...]Another conscious decision is about the length of your stay. Let’s face it, while other transportation is much more eco-friendly, some places can only be reached by plane. But then don’t fly from Europe to Asia for a week - stay longer, discover more and choose eco-friendly places. All these conscious decisions will lead to becoming a conscious traveller.”

“Greenloonspic

Greenloons - Irene Lane

The Greenloons Blog is an ecotourism travel resource that can help you find eco travel destination profiles, and provides environmentally friendly travel tips, ecotourism certification information, eco trip reviews, and more.

Thoughts
“Our top tip for spotting authentic travel experiences is to ask questions of the hotels and tour operators you will be working with. For example, ask how are they supporting conservation of natural areas and wildlife, ask how are they respecting local cultural traditions, ask how they are maximizing opportunities for local prosperity, and ask how are they are enhancing the local ecosystem to avoid physical or environmental degradation. You’ll quickly be able to determine if the travel company is supporting local communities socially, economically and environmentally or just greenwashing its efforts.”

“Charlieontravel

Charlie on Travel - Charlie

Charlie on Travel is a sustainable and slow travel blog written by Charlie and her life and travel companion, Luke. They are “ slow travellers, nature lovers, vegetarians, green advocates, sustainability enthusiasts and house sitters.”

Thoughts
"My top tip for anyone wishing to be a more conscious traveller is to do your research. Take some time to find out about the local area, customs and wildlife wherever you're going. Be mindful of the little things like making eco-conscious packing decisions, your clothing (for example, when visiting temples in some countries you may need to cover your knees), who and what you're photographing and whether your activities could be disturbing local people or wildlife in any way. Conscious travel is all about being respectful and aware."

“Jimodonnel

around the world in eighty years - Jim O'donnell

Jim O’donnell is an author, freelance writer, photographer and the content creator and writer behind around the world in eighty years. His research and writing focuses on environmental issues, the impact of tourism on culture and conservation, science, and history.

Thoughts
"First, it is important to realize that unless you are walking or biking to your destination you are having a negative environmental impact. Travel, even budget travel, is a luxurious privilege that is typically very wasteful. Owning it is step one.

Step two is recognizing that there is nothing wrong with exploring your own home and region.

Three, if you are going to travel further afield make sure your money goes to nations and companies that seek to minimize their environmental impact and maximize the socio-economic benefits for the locals. Finally, support conservation protections and laws in your home country where you can have the most impact."

“Charles -Joshua

Conscious Travel Guide - Joshua & Charles

Education is also one of the main reasons for us, to set up Conscious Travel Guide. We saw there was a gap between the conscious choices people make at home and when they are away, due to the lack of easily accessible information.

Thoughts
“Educate yourself step by step, so you can make more conscious choices, have a positive impact and build on a better world together.”

“Amanda _in _Botswana

Amanda's Wanderlust - Amanda

Amanda is an environmental management practitioner and news journalist. She’s also a sustainable travel blogger that has visited 28 countries. Knowing that travel is not good for your carbon footprint, Amanda is always looking for ways to engage in guilt-free and environmentally responsible travel.

Thoughts
"My top tip for anyone who wishes to become a more conscious traveller is to really do your research! Choose a location that hasn’t already been put under strain by tourism, or try to find a place that has remained relatively unaltered by visitors, and has a commitment to maintaining the integrity of the site you’re visiting. Check out the sustainability credentials of the tour company you plan to use, look for any certifications and be wary of green wash! Excellent research can help you avoid any unintended consequences of your travel."

“Breathdreamgo

She is passionate about travel's ability to transform and enlighten.

Thoughts
"The moment you become interested in being a more conscious traveller, you are already on your way. To keep the momentum going, start to pay more attention to the "other." Quite often in travel writing, the "other" becomes a backdrop to our own adventures. If you are sensitive to the people around you, especially if you are in a foreign culture, you are unlikely to make stereotypical judgments and cultural blunders."

“The _crowded _planet

Margherita and Nick are long-term travellers who love nature and adventure travel, with a focus on sustainability, “in our opinion, nature and adventure can be found anywhere – on the ski slopes, on a mountain wall or on a hiking path, but also in cities.

Thoughts
"My top tip for someone who wishes to become a conscious traveler is, overall, to be mindful. To be conscious and conscientious of yourself, is to be aware of your surroundings and your subsequent impact on them. To do whatever you can do to not cause harm, whether it’s to people, to animals, or to the environment. To try to make educated and informed decisions as to where you spend your money and to choose business and attractions that don’t exploit or harm the earth or any of its earthlings."

“Jenny _herbivore

Thoughts
“My tip for conscious travellers is to do plenty of research before you travel so that you know where to find vegan food and won't be caught out when you're hungry and tired. Happy Cow is my favourite resource.”

“Indefinite _Adventure

Indefinite Adventure - Sam & Zab

Indefinite Adventure is a travel blog offering guides and stories from Sam and Zab - a vegan and digital nomad couple. They travel light and slow, and give practical advice to other potential long term travellers, while constantly seeking great vegan food, digital nomad work places, fun street art and interesting things to do on their travels.

Thoughts
“Consider where you spend your money while you are travelling. We can all influence the world around us by what kinds of businesses we choose to support or not. To be a conscious traveller, one of the most basic things you can do is to spend your money in local businesses where your custom will directly benefit the locals rather than giving it to large corporations whose profits will likely leave the country you are visiting.

So, if for lunch, you have the choice of an international burger chain or a street vendor selling their homemade dumplings, go for the street vendor. This way you'll also more memorable experiences and get to interact with locals on a more personal level. So in the end, everyone wins!”

“Nomadic -Vegan -logo

The Nomadic Vegan - Wendy

She's on a mission to show you how you can be vegan anywhere and spread compassion everywhere. You can follow her adventures at The Nomadic Vegan and download her free ebook, “9 Steps for Easy Vegan Travel”.

Thoughts
“Consciousness is created by connection. So, to become a conscious traveller, you need to really interact with and connect with everything around you - the people, culture, animals and landscapes that make up your travel destination. By doing this, you will start to become aware of the impact that your presence has, and whether that impact is positive or negative.

You will start to ask yourself questions like: Is the money I spend here going to local people who need it or to large, wealthy companies? By hiking through this landscape, am I helping to ensure it stays protected, or am I attracting new construction and development to a fragile ecosystem? What resources had to be used to produce the food I ate for dinner? Could I have chosen a different meal that would have used fewer resources?

Sometimes the answers to these questions are not obvious, and we need to do further research to dig up the facts that will tell us which of our actions are having the most negative impact, and what we can do differently. These facts often run counter to what we believe to be true. For example, many people are surprised to learn that animal agriculture is the most destructive industry facing the planet and is the leading cause of climate change, rainforest destruction, species extinction, water pollution and habitat destruction. Once we know the facts, we can start making better choices.”

“Bounding -logo

Bounding Over Our Steps - Ligeia & Mindy

Ligeia and Mindy are vegan travellers who aim to discover vegan-friendly places everywhere they go. “We believe that every country has something wonderful to offer and discovering these hidden gems – food, culture, people, scenery – is our daily motivation.”

Thoughts
“The first step in becoming a conscious traveller is leading a conscious life in general. Think of the environmental impact of everything you do and make changes in your life to reflect your concern about the earth. Go vegan, rescue an animal, go solar, plant trees. If you lead a conscious life, you will naturally continue this lifestyle while traveling, always researching the environmental, cultural, political and human impact of the activities you plan to do.

You will naturally seek out vegan options, question tours that involve animal exploitation, and learn about the cultural and political ramifications of visiting certain locations. A conscious traveler will explore volunteer options and sign up to participate in green projects that help the environment, the people or the culture of a given area. You will automatically want to know where your money goes when paying for a service and how the employees are being treated.

A person leading a conscious live will also no longer be interested in riding an elephant, camel or horse, participating in tours that disturb untouched and beautiful places, or buying souvenirs where the money does not directly go to the artist or designer. Not only is conscious travel better for the planet, but it is also the most rewarding way to see the world!”

Cityloveee - Christina

Thoughts
“My best piece of advice would be to not be afraid to make mistakes. But when you do make those mistakes be sure to learn from them and become a better traveler. I truly believe that it is only when I make mistakes that I learn something new. I like to consider myself well researched but it is not until you are in a foreign land can you actually learn what the local remedy, food, mode of transportation, etc is that would impact the earth the least and what is most authentic. With each error I like to see it as a reminder that I am traveling and there is infinite beauty in each experience.”

My Slow Journey - Katarina Mancama

My Slow Journey is written by Katarina Mancama, a Swedish woman living in South Africa. Her journeys are geographical, since she travels for both work and holiday. They are also physical, since she tries to be a fit and healthy person. Her journeys are also sometimes spiritual, as she tries to be mindful and love herself, people around her and the Earth. Among several characteristics, slow is eating locally produced and seasonal, slow is travelling consciously, and slow is meeting new people and cultures.

Thoughts
"A conscious traveller, to me, is someone that takes care not to harm the environment of the destination; contributes to the local economy; and engages with people and culture in a respectful manner. While the first point (environment) should come naturally (no littering, careful use of resources etc) the other two might be a bit harder. So I want to focus my answer to these two points; how do I contribute to the local economy and engage with people and culture? Personally, I think it is as simple as this:

Be curious! Seek out areas away from the Top 10 attractions listed in your travel guide; stroll quiet residential areas and see how life really is in the destination; buy from local traders (my favourite is the fruit and vegetable markets and small coffee shops) and talk to them; find out what and where the locals eat and try it. Ask the staff at your hotel to point you in the right direction, then talk to people as you go along. This way, you will leave with a better understanding of the destination, its people and its traditions. At the same time, traders away from the busy tourist areas (who otherwise do not draw many benefits from tourism) get a piece of the pie."

“Vanessa

That’s why I started this blog. Because maybe you do too.”

Thoughts
"You can turn any trip into an environmentally and socially conscious one by leaving a place better than you found it. So that might mean picking up trash on a beach, volunteering with a local organization, re-using towels and sheets, and eating locally grown food. You never have to sacrifice fun to stay green!"

“Once _upon _a _saga

Once Upon a Saga

Spending a minimum of 24 hours in each country, Torbjørn C. Pedersen is travelling to every country in the world without taking a flight, “ I have been given the amazing honor of traveling as a goodwill ambassador for the Danish Red Cross. As such I get to represent and promote the Red Cross in 189 countries in the world [...] I knew very little about the Red Cross when I left home. But from interviewing and listening to volunteers all over the world I have been amazed.” He blogs about his journey travelling the world by scheduled ground transportation to ensure time is spent with locals and travelers.

Thoughts
"I would have to say that my top tip would relate to people opening their ears and closing their mouth. Because being conscious often isn't really about what the traveler already knows. It's more so about what the traveler can absorb from its the surroundings. We already plunge ourselves into the world with a general knowledge of what we think is right and wrong. We have our ideas preset before we even take off. The way we do things are, often to us, the right way.

Besides there is also safety in numbers so we rely on what others around us have always done. There are many ways of life. Our way of life in the western world is not sustainable. That is quite clear I think. And our way of life comes at a cost to others. If we understood that cost better then me might be more prone towards change. However that requires much more listening, observing and thinking before one can become more conscious...I think."
