Vacations are about enjoying yourself. Getting away, discovering new places, enjoying delicious food, and above all: relaxing. But that doesn't mean you have to leave your sustainable habits at home. Quite the opposite! With a few simple adjustments, you can make your trip just a little bit more friendly to the planet.
And no, we're not going to tell you how to travel. That's your party. But once you're there? Then these tips will come in handy:
1. Reusable is the new sexy
Plastic straws, disposable cups, and plastic bags are so 2010. Pack a reusable water bottle, coffee cup, cutlery set, and linen bag in your luggage. It reduces waste and you'll always be prepared. What's more, you'll instantly feel like a local when you show up at the bar with your own coffee cup.
2. No liquids, no stress (and that fresh smell)
There's nothing more annoying than a cracked shampoo bottle in your suitcase. Solution? Shampoo bars, deodorant bars, toothpaste tablets... Everything you need in a compact size. No more hassle with liquids at customs, no plastic bottles, just a delightful scent and a fresh feeling. Eazzy peazzy.
3. Go local, eat better
Going on vacation to the same supermarket you have at home? Boring. Explore your neighborhood. Local markets, bakeries, and eateries. Fresher, tastier, and you're supporting local businesses. Win-win!
4. Shower like a pro (short but powerful)
A standard shower quickly uses 10 liters of water per minute. So try to keep it a bit shorter, or... have a cozy shower with two people? 😉 And choose biodegradable personal care products. Especially handy if you're camping or showering outdoors.
5. Leave it more beautiful than you found it 💛
Okay, this might sound like something your grandma would say—but she was right. Take a small trash bag with you on your hike and pick up a can. Sort your trash on vacation just like you do at home. And leave that campsite, cabin, or hotel room cleaner than you found it.
Traveling sustainably has never been easier. Just make a few smart choices along the way. And your vacation will only be more enjoyable.
