  • In this episode, Kristen and Carol sit down with Bri, a digital nomad coach, sustainable travel content creator, and travel blogger. Bri talks about how she initially started blogging to keep her family and friends updated on her adventures while traveling. And over time, Bri became a certified travel agent and her blog evolved into a comprehensive ethical and sustainable travel website known as Travel Munchers, where she provides in-depth guides and recommendations for various destinations.

    They discuss the concept of greenwashing, where companies falsely claim to be environmentally friendly or sustainable, highlighting the need for consumers to be discerning. They talk a bit about various aspects of sustainable travel, including eco-conscious practices, such as supporting local communities, minimizing waste, and choosing eco-friendly accommodations.

    Throughout the episode, the conversation naturally shifts to everyone's favorite travel destinations, including the Nordic countries, renowned for their strong emphasis on sustainability and conservation efforts; Indonesia, including popular destinations like Bali, Lombok and and the Gili Islands; and other potential destinations, including Figi, Madiera, Zanzibar, Thailand, Laos, and Sri Lanka.
