What does it mean to travel well?
Travel enriches our connections to each other and to the land by creating opportunities for shared experiences, personal growth, and wonder.
Here’s a few reasons why we love three-day stays.
Shared experiences
Traveling often involves shared experiences with partners, friends, family, and even strangers. These shared moments can strengthen bonds through quality time spent together.
Learning where you live
Three-day stays encourage travel close to home, offering opportunities to learn about the history, culture, and ecology of your own region. Engaging with local history and community events can enhance knowledge and deepen a sense of connection to where one lives.
LOCAL business support
By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, dine at neighborhood restaurants, and shop at independent boutiques, you contribute directly to the community's economy and support small businesses which are often the hidden gems of any destination.
Mindfulness
Embracing short retreats can help reset your mind, deepen your awareness, and return to your routine with a renewed sense of clarity and calm.
ACCESSIBILITY & AFFORDABILITY
Shorter getaways often mean lower travel costs and fewer days away from work or other commitments, allowing you to experience a refreshing change of scenery without breaking the bank. They are a sweet balance between affordability and adventure.
The intentions behind why and how we travel matter. This is our commitment.
STAY CURIOUS
Traveling exposes us to new experiences. Approaching these adventures with curiosity helps challenge existing assumptions and grow our understanding.
Some ways we stay curious:
• Read published articles from local organizations
• Visit museums and historic sites
• Conduct research about the history of the land before writing a guide
BE RESPONSIBLE
From environmental concerns to supporting local businesses, there are many ways to travel responsibly.
Some ways we travel responsibility:
• Leave No Trace
• Support reputable wildlife sanctuaries
• Supporting short term stays with hosts local to the area
GIVE THANKS
Gratitude fosters a positive mindset that transforms how we experience the world. It helps us savor each moment, deepen our sense of wonder, and find joy in our travels, regardless of the circumstances.
Some ways we give thanks:
• Show appreciation to your hosts and guides. Perhaps its a positive review online, a handwritten note, or a cash tip.
• Reflect and journal. At the end of the day, write three things you are thankful for.
