We aim to tread lightly on our planet and respect our host communities. We encourage members to travel responsibly, being mindful of the environmental and social impact of their choices.

Some examples of ways you can travel more sustainably include:

• Using trains and buses, when possible, rather than relying solely on flights and driving

• Traveling at a slower pace, staying in destinations for months rather than days/weeks

• Moving regionally from place to place, rather than jumping repeatedly between continents
