Lending my storytelling skills to another kind of cause now. What do you think? P.S. Happy Earth Day y'all.

Making a living as a travel content creator is ethically dubious for all kinds of reasons—encouraging more emissions-heavy travel is one of them. If you're a European in a similar "oh sh*t my passion is killing the planet" position, take a few minutes to sign this petition today.

I mean I know it's hard to find non-white women when you don't look but there's people like @Marty_Sandiego of Black Travel Alliance and Akanksha Garg trying to push for sustainability with @waxpolhotels and Brenda Holder promoting indigenous tourism in CA with @ITAC_Corporate

Congratulations @townandcountry for managing to put together an all-white list of female leaders in an industry as global as travel. Definitely worth celebrating. townandcountrymag.com/uk/travel/a359…

@driftingkiwi It was a trip. Glad you liked it!

@legalnomads @jagsetter Honored to be an escape when the time is right. Take care, I hope your leak gets patched up safely.

Who's your favorite travel blogger? Post their site below. I'd like to check out some other pages for inspiration. My favorite blogger has been @legalnomads for years. Her stories made me realize long-term travel was possible.

@Kabuls Hey man! It's been a while. Yeah, well all things considered. Restlessness isn't the worst. How are you?

@lostwpurpose Yo. Warrup Missy! Are you well?!

My brain and attention span is capable of handling 2 social media platforms max... and since my Facebook following has become uncomfortably homogenous, time to shake things up. Help me, People Who Use Twitter—who are snappy/snarky/educational people you love following?

(And by uncomfortably homogenous, I mean it went from 20k -> 50k followers primarily thanks to 30k men who consequently try to slide into my DMs)

@samirashackle No worries! I'm more interested in the story than inclusion. It was a wild ride!

I abandoned Twitter long ago but this piece by @samirashackle is worth coming out of the shadows - a deep dive into the strange melange of white saviorism, political propaganda, and who knows what else that drives western travel influencers in Pakistan. theguardian.com/news/2020/nov/…

Lazarus, back from the dead? ... nah, just Alex signing into her Twitter for the first time in months. Hi, Twitterverse.

@salarzai_ @RootNetworkOrg Maybe I am... 😈

@salarzai_ @RootNetworkOrg 😂 BRB resuscitating my Twitter account

@salarzai_ It exists already! My partners and I at @rootnetworkorg are aiming to encourage more sustainability and safe practices for tourism in the COVID-era.
