Please leave no footsteps behind when you go new places. Don't expect places to be furnished with garbage bins. Please bring your waste back to cities, where they are easier to be processed! Please leave places as clean as you found them!

When you go places, try to see if you can cope with consuming local goods. If you are leaving home to find it somewhere else, you are wrong. Go places to get away from your home! It will teach you more!

Please travel slowly. No need to hurry! You can always come back again. See if there's any chance for you to reduce your environmental footprint. Please opt for local businesses. The communities are not only desperate for your money but also for your presence. Your social impact has a very meaningful weight while visiting countries like Albania and the Balkans.

This fall, see if you can bring a thermos with you! Ask your guide to show you where to fill it up! How amazing would it be if everyone going on a visit could reduce as much impact as you could!
