10 tips on how to travel sustainably

  1. Choose a destination where you can travel overland by either bus, train or by car. This means that you do not always have to take the plane. If you have to take the plane, fly directly and save on CO2 emissions.
  2. Take your own water bottle with you around sightseeing, and do the same with the coffee cup. Then you do not have to buy new plastic bottles and mugs all the time. If you do not have your own water bottle, look for water in cardboard.
  3. Use recycled bags when you go shopping. A tote bag for when you buy new clothes, or a net for when you go shopping in the supermarket. If you already have plastic bags, save them and use them again.
  4. Take the bike or walk when you go on a trip around and explore your destination. In the vast majority of big cities it is possible to rent the popular ones city ​​bikes for either a few hours or an entire day.
  5. Eat local food with locally grown ingredients, it helps the local farmers. If you are a meat eater, consider halving your meat intake.

About the author

Christian Brauner

I love to travel and I travel as often as the opportunity presents itself. I got my passion for travel already as a child, where my parents took my sister and I out into the big world.

My travel experience ranges from the classic city breaks in Europe, over road trips in the US, to backpacking in Asia and Australia.

Experiencing new cultures, unique nature and different societies, where people live very differently from life in Denmark, is what drives my desire to travel.
