I think unsustainable travel is a huge problem now with instagram travel ‘celebrities’…Especially concerned about the water crisis in my home town, Cape Town, right now and it’s quite a catch 22 – it seems like South Africa is trending, but the city is nearing the limits of its water supply and now tourists who aren’t used to taking 60-second showers twice a week are flooding it as well. But on the other hand the city depends on it’s tourist economy…it’s a tough one! How do you feel about traveling to places that have questionable political ethics – like the Maldives for instance, or other places that are on the human rights watch? I don’t think enough travelers talk about this stuff!

Thanks Karianne! I definitely think people are ‘put off’ the idea of looking into responsible travel because they think it’s all too complicated, but it can really be just making the most simple changes and decisions. I love your blog for finding local projects and initatives going on!

It just takes a little bit of forward planning and research. It doesn’t have to be difficult.

We’ve had some of our best travel experience while volunteering with, or simply just visiting, local community projects. I’ve found a number of great causes that I am now supporting from back home. And we’ve definitely eaten some of the best food at local, sustainable restaurants.

Hi Zlatina! I haven’t done too much volunteering abroad, but I tend to ask locals and expats about opportunities, do some online searches (but avoid big tour organisers) and also ask in expats groups and travel blogger groups on Facebook.

Do you search for volunteering organisations or?
Sorry for the stupid question =)
