Today is Earth Day! But in our book, it's easy to celebrate this amazing planet every day, and experience it through the joy of travel! However, Earth Day is not just about celebrating our world but taking the time to learn about how we can better protect it. Here are three things you can do to be a green traveler:

🌏 Travel slower. Traveling slow doesn’t just mean opting for a two-week vacation with limited flying time, but also refers to taking time to immerse yourself in local culture, explore your surroundings naturally, and seek out authentic itinerary activities that highlight only things your specific destination can offer.

🌏 Eat and buy local. Many countries around the world rely on tourism to fuel their economies. Eating and buying local not only supports local businesses but opens the doors to authentic experiences you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

🌏 Pack sustainably - Packing light and packing clean will not just help the Earth, but help you by giving you clarity and peace of mind. Quick changes like limiting single-use plastics in your suitcase, carrying a reusable water bottle, and using packing cubes to keep yourself organized minimizes your footprint wherever you travel.
