Travelling can be one’s passion, but travelling without a budget is like going inside a sea without knowing how deep it is. One should always prepare a full-fledged budget and have an approximate idea of what cost one has to bear. Sustainability means we should not harm the environment.
We all love travelling, but we forget that as we all love cleanliness, Mother Earth also loves to stay clean and healthy, so we must maintain hygiene. Thus, here I am suggesting some tips for sustainable and Budget-Friendly travel.
6 Ways To Enjoy A Budget-Friendly and Sustainable Travel Experience
1] Plan The Location
Firstly, plan a sustainable environment, and for everyone, travelling in their own country is best. So, firstly, we should travel to our own country and then go to a foreign country. If someone is travelling outside, they should also choose to believe in the sustainability concept.
2] Travelling Along With The Same Cloth
Nowadays, people shop before travelling just to showcase, and this fashion industry is causing so much harm to our environment. So when travelling, we must not buy new clothes but just mix and match the old ones. This will also help create a sustainable environment.
3] Mode Of Transport
You can use different modes of transport. Roadways, railways, and airways can be cheaper and budget-friendly modes of transport too. You can decide by knowing the distance and what your pocket allows.
If the place is near, then travelling by roadway can be cheaper, but if you have to travel a vast distance, railways can be cheaper. Railways will be the best mode of travel for you if you want to go for local transport while traveling the place. Further, instead of bikes working on petrol, go for rechargeable eco-friendly bikes. You can also use a cycle for travelling as it is free from any type of pollution.
4] Number Of Days To Travel
It’s also important to decide how many days we must travel, for one or two days or more than a week. This will help decide what things to carry along, like clothing, shoes, number of bags, etc. Also, will the holiday be paid or not as many people need to give an application at their office for leave.
5] Shop From Locals
One must shop from local vendors and eat food from small restaurants. It will also be a great support for people to boost their morals and buy things made by hand. Wherever we go, we can find local people, so we must contact and connect with them because they have more knowledge of that place than we do, so we must not feel ashamed of asking them.
6] Avoid The Use Of Plastic
We must not use plastic bags to carry our stuff but rather go for eco-friendly options such as biodegradable and reusable things like clothes, mesh, etc. This helps us carry goods without harming nature. We can also avoid products that are made up of plastic, such as cans and bottles, and replace them. Even hotels nowadays have wooden cutlery and plates made up of leaves to keep the environment sustainable and eco-friendly.
For example, in Kerala, people use banana leaves to give food; it’s not only in their tradition but also eco-friendly. People throw plastic after their use, which is not good for our environment; beaches and mountains are all being polluted, so people must create awareness among themselves to not throw things here and there.
Conclusion
So I came up with the conclusion that to travel budget-friendly and sustainable, one should first make up their mind that they will look at their purse size but without harming nature. With each passing day, the earth is becoming more polluted, and it’s our duty to keep it clean and natural for our upcoming generation to live long. If we do not change now, then we will not change ever, and the earth will not remain the same place to live.
