Research local customs and traditions before you go to show respect and avoid unintentional offense. Learning a few basic phrases in the local language can also go a long way.
Pack light and choose versatile clothing items to minimize your environmental footprint and make travel easier.
Support local businesses and artisans by buying souvenirs and eating at family-owned restaurants. This helps to boost the local economy and preserve cultural heritage.
Opt for eco-friendly transportation options like public transit, biking, or walking whenever possible to reduce your carbon footprint.
Be mindful of your waste and try to minimize it by bringing reusable bags, water bottles, and containers. Properly dispose of any trash and recycle when possible.
