We’re about to do something most travel companies don’t do. We’re going to advise you to travel less. That’s right, as the world begins to open back up and people start to talk about the inevitable post-Covid travel boom, we suggest you keep your cool and refrain from filling all the school holidays with mini getaways. Instead, start thinking about fewer but far more impactful trips.

It’s time to plan that ONE, big epic adventure. Here’s why: https://twopointfourtravel.com/travel-less-but-travel-better/

Here are some very good reasons why we think you should take one big trip a year rather than many short trips.

Here are 8 little things you can do to help protect Mother Earth 🌍, we challenge you to do at least one!⁠
⁠
1️⃣ PLANT A TREE 🌳 ⁠
Trees are important as they provide food and oxygen, which we and other species need to survive. Trees clean the air from excess carbon dioxide, which helps combat climate change. Everyone loves fresh air, right?⁠
⁠
2️⃣ CYCLE MORE 🚲⁠
Cycling is not only more beneficial to your mental and physical health, but also for Mother Earth. It cuts down on greenhouse gases, emits ZERO air pollutants, and reduces your ecological footprint. Did we mention it's so much fun? ⁠
⁠
3️⃣ BUY SECOND-HAND👚⁠
Buying preloved helps as there's less demand for new items to be manufactured, transported and packaged. You can find good quality items online and at your local charity shops. ⁠
⁠
4️⃣ EAT SUSTAINABLE FOODS 🐟⁠
Sustainable foods are produced by techniques that help to conserve natural resources with little impact on the environment. We want our kids to get nutritious and secure foods in the future, so read labels and do your research. ⁠
⁠
5️⃣ REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE ♻️⁠
We hear this all the time, but the one that tends to be in the spotlight is RECYCLE. Whilst recycling is important and should be done when possible, we also need to REDUCE consumption and REUSE what we have. ⁠
⁠
6️⃣ CONSERVE WATER 💧⁠
Although clean water may seem like an infinite resource, it is not. Water is not only essential for us to live but it grows our food, protects ecosystems and wildlife, reduces carbon footprint, and so much more. Conserve water where possible. ⁠
⁠
7️⃣ EDUCATE OTHERS 👨‍🏫⁠
Once you have learnt about the importance and value of our environment, it's time to pass that information onto others, especially to our kids. The earlier we can create healthy habits, the better.⁠
⁠
8️⃣ VOLUNTEER FOR CLEANUPS🙋⁠
Not only are you cleaning up the beach, but you are saving animals, making seafood safer to consume, keeping toxic chemicals out of the water, disposing of waste safely, and more.

Climbing to the top of a slide or swinging from the monkey bars can help lead kids to a lifetime of being active 🤸
⁠
When kids are active, their bodies can do the things they want and need them to do. Physically active kids are more likely to be motivated, focused, and successful in school. And mastering physical skills builds confidence at every age 🚴

We encourage kids and adults in 2021 to "Be More". How will you be more active? 🧗

Sailing is great for so many reasons: ⁠⠀
1. It is relaxing⁠⠀
2. All ages enjoy it ⁠⠀
3. It is a scenic way to go from point A to B ⁠⠀
4. Can stay overnight instead of a hotel ⁠⠀

And our favourite: You can sail almost anywhere, once there is access to water. France, Portugal, Norway, Bali, Oman... ⛵⁠⠀
