Kind Traveling: To travel kindly means you leave the destination better than you found it. You travel with reuseable silverware, cups, and straws; you avoid using plastic bags, you book with eco-friendly touring companies; you avoid booking experiences that involve animal cruelty; you always treat the locals with kindness by respecting local customs; and you dress according to your environment.

It’s no longer the question of whether or not the parks are open. Rather, is it ethical or safe to visit them now?

Our names are Benjamin Hagerty and Brianne Nemiroff. We’re a married couple originally from California. Since we became a couple in 2009, we have always been passionate about travel, both locally and abroad. We were inspired to take a long-term trip in 2017 to explore more of Canada and the U.S. and we soon realized that this wasn’t just a lengthy trip, but a new lifestyle choice, and that we were destined to explore.
Stay up to date on our travel stories, ethical and vegan travel guides, and restaurant recommendations.
