Sustainability Is the New Sexy
It’s Valentine’s Day. Whether you think it’s the most romantic day of the year or a complete joke, it doesn’t change the fact that the number of couples booking steamy weekend getaways increases this time of year. For those who are attempting to be more eco-conscientious and sustainable, a short romantic trip can come with serious eco-guilt. So, how do you enjoy time away with a partner in a way that will cause as little damage to the environment as possible while still being a fun, relaxing break?
Over-tourism: If We’re The Problem, Can We Be The Solution?
Here we go again. It’s the depths of winter and the holiday festivities are behind us. It is freezing cold. It is dark at 4pm. We have 37,000 emails to respond to which we have collectively vowed to ignore. So, we begin to daydream about our next holiday.

We live in a time of heightened awareness regarding the impact travel has on our climate and I would hope that we can all agree that climate change exists, is a problem, and urgently needs to be addressed. To be honest, saying that it doesn’t exist is just bollocks and ignoring it doesn’t bear thinking about; not that we would have long to mull it over as current estimates by the United Nations state that by 2030 the damage to our climate will be irreversible. Simply put, if we don’t change our habits, we’re truly fucked. So how do we change our damaging travel habits and become more conscientious travellers?
