Keep Your Adventures Green!
At Veggie Vagabonds we’re all about making the most of life, having a positive impact and embracing the natural world.
As it’s the natural world we’ve got to thank for the places we swim, cycle, climb and hike, the air we breathe, the water we drink… makes sense to protect it, right?
This all starts with appreciating your surroundings and making ethical decisions, no matter where you are. These decisions can actually add to the adventure and we want to show you how. If we work together, small changes can make a really big difference, and help protect these fantastic environments we all love to explore.
On our Go Green section just some of the things you’ll find are…
- Sustainable tips, green gear and waste reduction for your adventures
- Flying alternatives and overland options
- Ethical issues, ideas and inspiration
We’re dead keen to help the world go green, it’s become our mission! You can find out more about our mission here if you like.

Ditch the flights, choose the overland option!
One of the single biggest steps you can take towards a more sustainable lifestyle is to stop flying. Or, at the very least cutting down and making the flights you do take as green as possible. That doesn’t mean you’ve got to stop exploring though. It’s more than possible to explore the whole world and not jump on a flight, so we set out to prove it.
In 2017 we committed to stop flying and are now embarking on a round-the-world bike trip. You can read more about this epic cycling adventure here, or check out some of our other overlanding articles below.
