Travel Tips and Respect

Travel Tips and Respect

by Tina Winterlik with help of AI

From the Blog Adventurez in Mexico 

https://adventurezinmexico.blogspot.com



Tips from Lonely Planet, I’ve made my own,

Travel wisely, reap what you’ve sown.


Go overland, buses, not planes,

Mexico’s buses, the best of gains.

Better than Greyhound, service supreme,

Ticketing and security, a traveler's dream.


Give right, buy from small stores,

Spread the wealth, open doors.

Donate to schools, clinics in need,

Avoid handouts, stop the begging seed.


Buy local, eat where locals dine,

Small stores, markets, where cultures shine.

Use cold showers, conserve the heat,

Respect the earth, keep travels neat.


Pick up litter, pack in, pack out,

Leave no trace, that’s what it’s about.

Be respectful, traditions hold,

Appropriate attire, respect the old.


Ask questions, learn the ways,

Avoid mistakes other tourists make each day.

Customs guide, culture shares,

A world of wisdom, if one dares.


Helpful links, for those who seek,

Eco-tourism, where virtues speak.

From eco-index to tourism concern,

A sustainable path, for all to learn.


Travel with care, respect in stride,

Explore the world, with wisdom as your guide.

Save Flora Banks- They need Radios- Can You Help?


From the

Stop Pacific NorthWest LNG/Petronas on Lelu Island Facebook page


Our highest priority on Lelu Island is acquiring some more new VHF radios. These are important for safety, with evidence of a grizzly on the island.
When contractor boats or helicopters come nearby, we are spread around the island (so many heli-pads) and need to communicate between each other, with draining cell phones, so some more VHF's are really important. If you're able to contribute a small amount, please

e-transfer lelu_island@hotmail.com

Or use http://www.gofundme.com/lelu_island

To help us out. Thank you

Please Support- Who is She?

Oh God, this video just gives me goosebumps and makes me cry....because we know it's played out in reality over a 1000+ times!!! Please Watch, Please Act!! Do Something!

Tired of waiting for Stephen Harper to call an inquiry the First Nations People of this land have taken it upon themselves to move forward and do it themselves. What a shameful government to allow this to happen and turned a blind eye when given every opportunity to take action to stop it.


From the website http://www.whoisshe.ca/
Every Indigenous woman and girl should feel safe every time of every day in every place in Canada. Our families can’t wait for Ottawa to stop Indigenous women and girls from disappearing. We are planning our own process to bring safety to our peoples.

Save the Tiger this Thanksgiving!

Did you know that 4 tigers are killed every week and that they are about to disappear. http://www.tigertime.info/  If you visit this website you can learn a lot more.  Please do what you can to help?




http://www.tigertime.info/tiger-blog.php

Quoted from the website:
"If we can’t save the tiger, then how can we save ourselves?"
Saba Douglas-Hamilton

  • We have to act now or this iconic animal could be extinct in less than 20 years
  • Man is solely responsible for the slaughter of the tiger for commercial gain. In the natural world the tiger's only predator is man

Obviously it's man's fault but the problem is much bigger than putting blame on the people that kill them. Poverty is the blame, desire for wealth, desire for material things. Tigers are going extinct but we will be next if the world doesn't change.

Seeing that it's Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend, there are so many things that come to mind. We have a lot to be grateful for, yes that's so true, but there are many things that we need to change, and so I am grateful for the knowledge, wisdom and courage to try to share what I can and try to make a difference, no matter how small. What are you going to do? What are you grateful for?
