Children can be hysterical, adorable, and even inspiring, but there are some places that bring out their antsy and rather demanding side, especially when it comes to travel. It’s only natural to desire a childless getaway, and for the sake of this topic, we want to recommend destinations and travel ideas that are more fit for adults. Honeymoon destinations: You don’t need to be in love, or even with your significant other to enjoy some of the best honeymoon destinations in the world. As it turns out, these cities make for some of the best adult getaways. Cities like Paris, Italy, and Berlin, known for their museums, street art in some cases, and dark history, are the ones to take advantage of while your away from the kids. And because these cities are known for accommodating honeymooners, it’s a synch to find some great spots of luxury as well. Anti‐tourism: Outside of honeymoon destinations, avoid tourist destinations altogether. They cater to families. BnBs: You won’t feel so guilty if you vacation to a place that simply doesn’t allow children. Some of the nicest BnBs, for instance, are decorated in valuable antiques. As a result, they don’t want little ones running around and simply won’t allow them. Resorts: Some of the most premier resorts in the world have age requirements. 16‐18 minimum. We hope you enjoyed those travel tips because every once in a while, it’s healthy to get away and relax without any added responsibility. And you deserve it! Thanks for reading!

I love packing for a trip. It builds anticipation and excitement for the journey ahead, but it can be stressful because there is often a fear that you’ve forgotten something or the space in your luggage is too tiny to make sense of. Fear not. Green Earth Travel has some packing tips that will help organize your suitcase efficiently. Just follow our lead... 1. Skip travel size products. They’re rarely worth the value they are trying to convey. Purchase travel sized bottles instead and fill them up yourself with products you already use and love! A more sustainable idea is to use empty bottles that you already own. 2. Invest in a quality water bottle. When you’re traveling, you’re bound to get thirsty, and touristy places love to up-sell water bottles. Bring your own bottle and fill it up along the way. It’s an economical item to pack. Even better, purchase a bottle that has a filter built into the cap. You can find these at most convenient stores. 3. Pack the right clothes. Pack items that serve more than one purpose. Packing a jacket and a raincoat for instance will be heavier and take up more room than packing a windbreaker alone. 4. Roll it up! Heavier items can be folded and placed towards the bottom of the bag, but trust me when I say, rolling shirts is going to save space you didn’t know you had. 5. Packing light is packing right. Don’t pack your bag to the max. Leave space in your luggage for souvenirs and mementos that you’ll pick up along the way. It will save you from having to checkin a bag on the plane (if you’re flying) and it’s just more efficient. That’s exactly where Green Earth Travel voyaged out to this past weekend when we visited one of the largest vegetarian festivals in North America. Vegetarian festivals are always a good place to find free samples that are not only tasty but healthy! They are also a great place for spiritual renewal and learning. Throughout the festival, it’s likely you’ll run into famous quotes about how to treat each other as well as the planet. This particular food festival also held meditation sessions in a “Learn how to Meditate” tent. They introduced Sant Ranjit Singh, known for not only being an expert in meditation but also a counselor for religious leaders across the world! It was an honor to hear his thoughts. Festivals are friendly to families with children. Make sure to not miss the parade! We also want to give a shout out to Veg Voyages! We have coordinated with these guys in the past to create custom trips with a local experience. Green Earth Travel also visited one of NYC’s fun festivals: The Seed. The Seed is recognized as an event for being an event for “the vegan-curious, vegan-skeptical, and vegan choir.” It’s a friendly way to gain some insight into the vegan world. This event had a health conscious spin with strong focus on eating right and exercising. Vendors also came out to endorse their artistic and informative endeavors like their documentary films and new health kicks. We had some great times these past weekends.
