Responsible Travel

I believe travel should give more than it takes. Every journey has the power to protect wildlife, celebrate cultures and support communities. Where possible, I design holidays that reflect these values, so your trip leaves the world better than we found it.

Carbon offsetting, included as standard

Every flight I book includes a £15 carbon offset contribution through Sustainable Travel International. These funds support projects that conserve forests, generate clean energy and restore ecosystems worldwide. You can ask me to remove this, but most clients are proud to keep it in and travel knowing their journey supports real climate action.

Wildlife first

If you believe animals deserve freedom and dignity, you will feel at home with my approach. Where possible, I only recommend ethical encounters with expert guides where animals are respected and habitats are protected.

For more on why this matters, read my blog on rethinking wildlife tourism.

Ethical encounters protect wildlife and make your journey more meaningful.

Community led travel

Travel is at its best when it empowers local people. Where possible, I prioritise small, locally owned accommodation and guides. Your holiday spend then stays in the destination, creating jobs, preserving heritage and building pride.

For practical ideas you can use on any trip, see my responsible travel tips.

Staying local means your trip benefits the people who make each place unique.

The Traveller’s Pledge

I invite every client to take the Traveller’s Pledge. It is a promise to see the world with open eyes, care for the places we love and inspire others to do the same. By travelling this way, you become part of a growing community of people who believe holidays can have purpose as well as pleasure.

• Embrace community: support and respect local traditions while contributing to economic empowerment.
• Travel sustainably: commit to choices that protect the environment and promote conservation.
• Invest locally: favour businesses that benefit local people and create inclusive growth.
• Respect heritage: preserve cultural traditions and safeguard heritage sites.
• Consume responsibly: be mindful, choosing ethical and sustainable options.
• Share experiences: inspire others to travel with awareness by telling your own stories.
