I am going to China!

The builder and I are having a holiday China. I am excited for our first trip overseas together. Plus I get to revisit one of my favorite cities, Hong Kong. We will be spending most of our time in Yangshauo.

This is the first trip I have actively sought out eco minded accommodation. Our first choice was an eco hotel that was unfortunately booked out. I suggested camping in Yangshauo, but that was met with a weary look from the builder. Hopefully something comes up to suit our lifestyle. I am super excited to be exploring this pocket of mainland China with my best friend.

It will be interesting to attempt another plastic free and waste free holiday. I learnt valuable lessons, from my trip to Myanmar that I can apply on this trip.

It does feel a like a contradiction to announce I am going travelling on my eco minded blog. Travelling is a heavy polluting exercise. I don’t know if I will ever be able to say no to travel, especially when half of my family live overseas. So being vigilant about my waste and avoiding all plastic, just like I do at home, when travelling is a must for me. Perhaps I should donate a weekend to Landcare and plant trees to offset my emissions?

    1. Thanks for the comment. I LOVE your website. Plastic Free Tuesday is a great initiative. At Hong Kong airport there is signage everywhere encouraging visitors to go meat free on Mondays. Hopefully one day there will be Plastic Free Tuesday posters there too. Erin
