I've been all over Western NC this weekend while two friends from New York were visiting. It was a good time to reflect on how I'm going to travel and use my phone without missing what's right in front of me. I've tried stepping back from pictures in the last few months and it's been great, but I also want to be able to share and document the good things I'm seeing. It's worked for me to take two or three pictures of a major landmark and then leave my phone in the car otherwise. Then the temptation isn't even available. And I won't post until back home and out of the experience. Anyone else have a strategy for this? #travel #northcarolina #stonemountain #statepark #nature
NC had a lot of weather to offer today 😍 #northcarolina #blueridgemountains #blueridgeparkway
I've been really looking into carbon offsets (just Google it, I still can't explain) and since I'm so confused by most of the info I'm getting, I've been trying to think of a creative way to give back to the Earth during my travels. We're going to be using so much fuel and I want to make up for that. I think each destination will be different, as this idea is still in progress. For my recent trip to Atlanta, we spent $50 in gas. So, I've decided to donate 50% ($25) to @treesatlanta. To heal the Earth and make a local impact. Thank you for having us, ATL! #zerowastetravel #roadtrip #atlanta #georgia #giveback
Spent the weekend in Atlanta, thought it would be a good zero waste travel practice. Don't let the smile fool ya though- I started running a high fever right when we arrived. I had to use bottled water multiple times because I was so dehydrated. I had to buy a thermometer and medicine. People kept giving me straws. I only brought one hot to-go cup because our trip was only two days and ended up using multiple other single use cups. I also couldn't find recycling anywhere we went, but the smallest little victory is that I carried all my recyclables home for proper disposal. I'm glad I took care of myself though. Sometimes doing this stuff is really hard and I didn't have the strength or energy to zero waste at 100% and that's FINE, and that's really the message I want to promote here. I don't believe in guilt 🤷 #travel #zerowastetravel #atlanta #georgia

A high school English teacher recommended this book as road trip preparation. I feel like a better #traveler already. These revelations are relatable for me- a mix of cynicism and awe, an experience for someone unsure of what he truly knows of his homeland. I can't wait to write my own story of America. #roadtrip
