The idea of sharing a $10 hostel room with 12 other people where I have to watch my belongings doesn’t appeal to me. Sorry if that seems a bit stuck up or whatever but that’s just what I prefer. I have nothing against backpacking etc but I like not having to worry about my things while I’m out.

There are 4 key values that we find important when traveling: improving our environmental impact, deeper personal experiences, more meaningful social relations, and supporting the local economy

Choices with financial savings CAN put more stress on the environmental aspect (for example plane versus train or car), but not always. For food, the cheapest price should be local products. So preferably a street market instead of a supermarket full of imported products. And if you do shop in a supermarket try to find the local produce instead of imported avocados or bananas. For us, the nutritional part matters as well. We could eat cup noodles every day and spent around 1 EUR on food but that is not in our interest. So we shop for “good” food and keep a balance between nutrition and affordable products. Wherever we can, we drink from the tap. Water is our main source of life! We don’t drink much alcohol and don’t go to cafes very often so this bill stays pretty low…

When Travel Comes to a Breakneck Standstill

When traveling, doing things spontaneously is part of the journey & these things tend to be some of the most memorable. Sometimes you decide to do these things, other times these things are decided for you. This was one of the times when things were completely out of my control.
