A5: Travelers drinking from single-use water bottles. We must kick this bad habit, & it's so easy to do. We haven't had a SINGLE bottle of water in 6.5 years! Get yourself a @SteriPEN UV water purifier + a @Nalgene and keep plastic bottles out of landfills & oceans. #CultureTrav

A5 Just experienced this today: hotels tell you to leave the towels you don't want to reuse on the floor and then replace the ones you've used and left on the rack. #culturetrav #petpeeve

replying to @EthnoTravels @EthnoTravels I could not agree more. Respect + a smile will break down any barrier. It is what we bring to EVERY country we visit. Love your mantra Stephanie! #CultureTrav

A6: We’ve done a number but teaching English in a Vietnamese Red Dzao tribal village during Tet New Year was unforgettable. When they saw us working so diligently with their children each day, they no longer saw us as tourists and they treated us like family. #CultureTrav

A3 We visited Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, despite guidebooks warning about the damage from the civil war and definitely not promoting. It was actually one of the most incredible destinations we've explored and since then we've tried our best to promote the region! #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5 The lack of recycling in many countries which contributes to plastic pollution in our oceans and marine life. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5. Throwing trash on the ground. Just because someone else did, doesn't mean you have to. Put it in your daypack or pocket until you find a can. #CultureTrav

BONUS: Name 3 ways people can have a positive impact before, during, or after their travels? #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A6: I volunteer by myself ;-) By answering the local media interviews and speaking about my respect and love for autochthonous people and culture #culturetrav This year, I also invested myself in a problem between Tribal people and police in Bastar.
