Be a mindful traveller
At Make It Travel, we believe travel should be more than just ticking off landmarks – it should be meaningful, respectful, and leave a positive impact, both on you and the places you visit. Being a mindful traveller isn’t about being perfect – it’s about travelling with curiosity, care, and intention.
So what does that look like in practice?
It starts with respect.
Take time to understand local customs and cultures. Ask questions, be open-minded, and always travel with humility. A little cultural awareness goes a long way.
Support the locals.
Choose local guides, eat at family-run restaurants, shop with artisans – these choices directly support communities and create more authentic experiences for you.
Travel lighter.
Whether it’s saying no to single-use plastics, choosing eco-friendly stays, or hopping on a train instead of flying – small choices add up. We love weaving sustainable options into our itineraries wherever we can.
Be present.
Put the phone down (sometimes), soak it all in, and be open to those unplanned, magic moments – a street conversation, a quiet lookout, or an unexpected detour.
Leave no trace.
Whether you’re hiking a trail or visiting a sacred site, leave it as you found it – or better. Respect nature, tread lightly, and travel with gratitude.
Mindful travel doesn’t mean overthinking everything. It’s simply about being aware – of where you are, who you’re with, and the impact you’re leaving behind. And in return? You get richer, deeper, more memorable experiences.
