Sustainable activities
On this page you can find all of my travel tips relating to sustainable activities. These tips show you travel activities that have a low environmental impact on the destination or a positive social impact on the local community. Each tip links to an Instagram post or blog post with more information.
Most of these tips will be small, easy-to-implement actions. I recommend starting with the ones that seem most feasible to you. It’s always better to take just one small action than it is to do nothing at all, because every small change makes a difference!
Outdoor city activities
I have shared a short list of sustainable city tours in Europe, which you may find useful.
Activities involving animals
Make sure to follow expert advice when incorporation animal activities in your travel plans. Find a list of trustworthy sources around ethical interactions with (wild) animals here.
Nighttime activities
- Host your own pub crawl
- Go stargazing
- Watch the northern (or southern) lights
- Join or organise a ghost tour
An example of a unique ghost tour I have been on was this ghost bus tour in Edinburgh.

Travel activities to do at home

Micro-adventures are the perfect sustainable activities: they feel similar to travelling without going far. To find inspiration for micro-adventures, have a look here. My favourite micro-adventure is going for a run in as many different locations as possible.
