Easy Ways To Be A Conscious Traveler In The New Year

This year, instead of just dreaming about the places on your bucket list, use the time to give more care and attention to how much you travel.

Plan and embark on trips that you wouldn’t have before, with some new perspective in 2021. 🧳


FLY LESS AND TAKE A ROAD TRIP INSTEAD

One of the best parts of road tripping is all the great scenery you can see along the way. Instead of taking the most direct route to your destination, consider planning a route where you can experience all the beautiful views on the way to your travel spot.


APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE LOCALLY

Schedule a long weekend trip with family and loved ones in a place that is only several hours' drive from your backyard. The cost of traveling locally is also undoubtedly much lower than what you would pay for a trip abroad.


STEP OFF THE BEATEN TRACK AND DISCOVER UNUSUAL DESTINATIONS

Seek out destinations that intrigue you rather than following a list of popular places. Visit spots where tourism is the main contributor to the local economy to help out and support small businesses and livelihood.


AIM TO TRAVEL LIGHTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLY

Traveling lighter may not only be good for the environment, but it’s also good for your soul. Instead of being weighed down by excess luggage, pack a small bag with your essentials, and focus your attention on those that truly matter.


TRAVEL SLOWLY

Now is the time to value people and memorable experiences, rather than ticking countries off your bucket list. Walk a little slower, create happy memories, and craft a day of unplanned spontaneity.


Let’s look forward to making a difference, traveling with people who matter, and being open to more unplanned, last-minute trips. Here’s to carefree, fuss-free, and exciting new journeys in 2021 with treatments that matter. Cheers! 🥂
