How I Felt Travelling During A Pandemic
Since March I have genuinely only left my home twice a week, once for a weekly shop and the second time, to exercise. Even after several restrictions were lifted in July and restaurants and local travel reopened, I did not have a desire or the comfort level to change my routine. Travelling during a pandemic just felt strange and unusual. That was until last weekend. My parents and I finally booked a trip to Naivasha so we could spend quality time together before I returned to university. Packing a vacation bag for the first time since December 2019 was exciting, but I was also incredibly anxious on the days leading up…

The Irony Of Eco-tourism
Eco-tourism. Sounds great, doesn’t it? The word literally suggests that people can travel in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Unfortunately, there is an irony to eco-tourism that makes it less authentic than we hope for, and while there are benefits, there is also a growing list of disadvantages. Eco-tourism And The Ecological Impact Although one of eco-tourism’s vital purposes is to support conservation efforts, particularly for exotic and endangered environments, it can have a detrimental effect instead. Usually, ecosystems that become eco-tourism attractions have had little to no interaction with mainstream human society, so as a destination’s popularity grows and the area comes into closer contact with the unknown, it begins…
