My travel style is off-the-beaten-path destinations & Active Adventurous Travel, with lots of outdoor activities, and always focusing on ethical and responsible tourism.
I don’t stay at 5 stars hotels, or pay US$100 dollars for a meal just because I should enjoy the local food, instead, I prefer to search for a local restaurant and have a meal with the locals. I can sleep in a castle or in a tent. I can skip a shower if I can traveling to a remote location. I can cook my own meal on an open fire in the middle of the wild in Africa.
ROAD TRIPS | I do a lot of self-drive destinations and I am always searching for intriguing stories to share about places I visit and people I meet, and my target is to help travelers like you, to have the most authentic and adventurous experiences while uncovering different cultures and support the local communities.
ADVENTURE TRAVEL | There is always something new to discover; a new place, different flavors, smells, and colors. A new hiking trail, a high mountain to conquer, that remote village you only saw in books. Not speaking the local language, not having a hotel booked for the night, or not being able to read the menu? Not a problem, traveling is an adventure.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL | I believe in caring about our planet and our environment and not practicing any sort of animal abuse, respecting people and their culture, and learning from them. When I plan a new trip, I research opportunities to connect with locals and to give back to the local communities, by making choices to stay at a homestay, eat at local restaurants, learn about other cultures while encouraging people to have the same experience.
My goal is to leave my positive mark and make new friends in all places I visit and every people I meet. If that sounds like you, then join the Paula Pins the Planet family.
