Living an eco-friendly lifestyle is important to us at Wandering Whittles. If we don’t take care of our planet now, then future generations will be unable to experience just how wonderful it is.

Part of our commitment to this kind of lifestyle comes from making sustainable choices when traveling. We do this in a couple of ways: supporting local businesses, respecting the natural environment and not buying “tourist souvenirs.”

We also are a proud member of Sustainable Travel International. As a member, we are part of a global movement of conscientious travelers and businesses that are passionate about making a difference and giving back to the places we depend on.

• Sustainable Travel International is a mission-driven organization dedicated to protecting and conserving our planet’s most vulnerable destinations. Through this work, they aim to safeguard nature, combat climate change, and empower communities to preserve the integrity of destinations around the globe.
