I also talk about eco-certifications — and why they don’t always tell the full story — plus a few simple ways to be a more responsible traveler without overcomplicating things.Then I shift gears and answer a second question from Miranda about traveling to Finland’s Lapland region, including why timing matters and where to start your research if it’s on your list.It’s a short episode, but one packed with ideas to help you travel more meaningfully. And maybe think a little differently about the choices you make along the way.Got a question you want answered?Head over to wanderyourway.com/podcast and fill out the form!Note: These Listener Q&A episodes don’t have a companion blog post, so you’ll only find this one in your favorite podcast app. Happy listening!Important links: How To Travel Sustainably in Europe: Inspiring Tips From Carolyn S.
