We’ve created a collection of screensavers and a printable poster to inspire us all to become better travelers. Choose a tenet you would like to keep in your pocket, or place them all where you can see them.
We are not here to dominate or exploit nature or societies, but to be part of them.
The world is a complex system: how we behave affects not just animals, objects, and individuals, but biospheres, cultures, and communities.
Our aim should always be to have an additive impact rather than a subtractive one.
See, appreciate, enjoy, and respect: bringing back what you have learned is one of the greatest gifts of traveling.
Traveling is always an education: encountering different places, communities and cultures can open both minds and hearts.
Ask where things come from, how they are made, and who is providing the services under what conditions, so that you can make informed choices.
It should be smart, non-intrusive, and support a regenerative lifestyle. You should also be able to turn it off.
Go forward to meet new people, have new experiences in new environments, be respectful, and endeavor to connect with and listen to the locals.
Understanding that the best journeys are not a race against time allows us to pause, focus, and truly appreciate encounters.
