🌱 If the last 9 months have taught us anything it's to be kinder to nature, animals and the planet.

If you love to travel but also feel guilty about the impact it has on the planet, join the club 😂 It’s a difficult predicament, but there are lots of ways to tread lighter when you're heading off for your next adventure. Here's my top 5...

🌍 Travel locally - COVID has forced a lot of us to keep our feet on the ground and staycation closer to home. Luckily the UK has some amazing places to explore, and local travel is a good way to reduce your carbon footprint 😁👌

🌍 Catch feelings, not flights - Wherever you can, travel by train or bus over a plane journey. It's also a way better way to see the place your visiting!

🌍 Say a big fat nope to animal tourism - Sea life shows, circuses, riding elephants, photos with tigers etc etc all contribute to the illegal capture and abuse of wild animals. Don't be that traveller just for the sake of the 'gram

🌍 Choose sustainable suppliers for any trips or tours, or even better support the locals by spending your money with them rather than booking through big international tour companies

🌍 Reduce plastic by carrying a refillable water bottle with you on your trip, say no thanks to straws and take your rubbish with you (p.s airlines are a bit slow on the whole recycling thing so do the planet a solid and take your plane rubbish with you too!)

Let me know your top sustainable travel tips in the comments!

💎 Lost&Found Hotel of the Week 💎

This might be my favourite one yet! Located in Eastern Finland, Järvisydän Hotel & Spa Resort has the cosiest rooms, steamiest saunas and loads of activities on your doorstep, from hiking and fishing to snowmobiling and ice skating ⛸

The hotel is located on picturesque shores of Lake Saimaa and next to the Linnansaari National Park where you can go out and spot endangered seals 💦

Complete with a wood-stove, smoke and steam sauna, open-air hot tub and spa, it's the ultimate relaxation spot 😍 Järvisydän is also home to the most ecological Lake Spa in whole Finland, where you can chill out and have a treatment or join in a yoga class. Even better, all guests get a 2-hour free spa ticket included with their stay 😌

Who's dreaming of a cosy winter getaway? ❄️

I'm really passionate about doing travel properly, so I work with some amazing suppliers to bring you authentic, local and sustainable experiences 🌱🌍

To me this means eating the local food, talking to local people, and just experiencing a place like it should be - off the beaten track, being aware of my environment and travelling responsibly 💚

I can help you support local communities on your trip and benefit the people who are proud enough to show you around their home by booking your experiences with local guides who are passionate about sharing their experiences, their skills and where they live.

in Dubai...

Just when you thought your bucketlist couldn't get any longer, you'd better add riding a camel to have dinner in the desert 🐫🍴☀️

This was one of the memorable experiences I had in Dubai, because it takes you away from the skyscrapers and fancy hotels and gives a little insight into the more traditional side of Arabic culture 🇦🇪

Highlights included; riding an angry camel, getting a proper henna tattoo, sh**ha pipes, and watching traditional Tanoura dancing, fire shows and belly dancing 💃🔥

Who's got Dubai on their bucketlist?

Have you ever searched for the same flight on the exact same day and found the price has gone up? 🤔💰

Airlines and flight booking websites like Skyscanner record your visits, which means that the price you’re shown will increase on your next visit purely because you’ve searched for that flight before 👎

This sneaky tactic is basically to trick you into buying your flights sooner and encourage impulse booking. Cheeky swines!

Avoid getting caught out by switching to your browser to Private mode whenever you book or search for flights.
