We’ve all seen those pictures, especially from early Covid-19 days, where the earth seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief that we were all staying home: overtouristed areas were suddenly free of litter, water ran clearer, wildlife returned.
Obviously, we don’t want to stop travelling – nor should we, because I’m a firm believer that it’s an important thing to do, for so many reasons – but I think those images are a reminder that we do need to make sure we travel in a more sustainable way. This episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast is about the small things that we can do as travellers that, if we all did them, would add up to a big change. Enjoy!

Sustainable Travel Tips
Over recent years, more of us have paid attention to ways in which we can travel a little more sustainably, and harm the environment a little less – but we still have such a long way to go. In Episode 213 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, I chat with three travellers who are also very concerned about the impact we are having on the environment, and have a wealth of tips and ideas to share with us.
First up I speak with Brighde Reed from World Vegan Travel, who spends a lot of time writing and thinking about how what we do affects the planet. She has a host of practical tips and I suspect there’ll be something useful for everyone.
Next, I chat with Louise Southerden, a very thoughtful travel writer who has plenty to say about sustainability as a broader topic along with some excellent tips for travellers.
Finally, Anna Chittenden talks about more practical ways to be sustainable when we travel, including some specific tips in Asia, and also raises an important topic which we’ll have to put a pin in for a future episode!
