Hi Travelers! The holidays are before us Thanksgiving is just a week away! Families will soon be reunited, and you better believe airports will be packed! I love me some winter travel, but if you don’t like the airport chaos, alleviate the stress by arriving earlier than usual. They say 2 hours prior to your flight will get you where you want to be, but I’d recommend arriving 3 hours early (at the very least!) during the holiday months, and if you are traveling international, add an hour to that time. It’s a safer bet, and you’ll find that you’ll need that extra time in the security line! I’d also recommend using bright colored luggage. Reason being, there will be a higher than usual amount of luggage in the baggage claim, so you’ll want to not only be able to identify your luggage easily, you will also prevent others from mistakenly snagging your bag for theirs. Just a couple tips for the holidays. Happy traveling! Thanks for reading! “Travel makes the heart grow fonder.” Written by: Backpack Britt

Some would say I’m a bold traveler, but I feel like I’m just getting started. I tend to attract colorful situations, so I hope you enjoy what you read!

 Hello travelers, Valentine’s Day may seem like a bit of a ways away, but this is actually the time to start booking trips in order to receive reasonable fares for a nice Valentine’s Day getaway. A good traveler knows being prepared is one of the most important pieces of traveling. So maybe you want to get away to Costa Rica when it’s still chilly wherever you will be in February. Maybe send your parents on a trip to the Caribbean? Maybe you want to be romantic like the movies and leave the country for Paris or Rome? Whatever trips you have up your sleeve (see what I did there), Green Earth Travel wants you to know that you should begin your trip planning just a few months in advance. Like now! Then you’ll have something nice to look forward to in the winter. Thanks for reading! “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for” – John A. Shedd Written by: Backpack Britt
Hello. I’m Brittany, and I like to travel. I enjoy sharing photos and telling stories about the places I’ve been and the experiences I’ve had. After graduating college, I backpacked Europe alone. Some would say I’m a bold traveler, but I feel like I’m just getting started. I tend to attract colorful situations, so I hope you enjoy what you read!  If you haven’t heard, Green Earth Travel is now booking tours for the Vegan Italian Festival for the month of July 2015! The vegan tours will take you to the Amalfi Coast. Each tour stars 12 special guests all month long. This Italian tour got me thinking about Italy and the time I traveled from Venice to Rome. Venice was my first Italian stop and originally, I did not plan to stick around until my train pulled into this glamorous city. It was the most unique place I had ever visited. Even the water taxis impressed me. Because Venice won’t be around forever, it’s a must see. Verona, the home of Romeo and Juliet, was a lovely city. I was fortunate enough to end up in Verona during their annual chocolate festival that takes place in the winter. The cobblestone streets were lined with vendors selling chocolate cameras, chocolate hammers and bolts, chocolate books, chocolate keys and locks...etc. Rome was Rome. It was a big busy beautiful city. You can walk a few blocks then Bam! You are looking at original Roman architecture amidst modern buildings. I learned that the leaning tower of Pisa is great, but Pisa is an even greater location for people watching. In fact, I enjoyed people watching more than I enjoyed the leaning tower itself. I stayed at a vegan yoga retreat in the mountains of Umbria, right outside of Tuscany. The owner prepared delicious meals including wine every day. After the first night there, it snowed. And lastly, there was Florence. Of course I marveled at the Statue of David’s thighs for over an hour and daydreamed about Michelangelo chiseling away.
