Go Green Travel Green

As we celebrate the two year anniversary of Go Green Travel Green, we look back on how we’ve gotten where we are today. From packing light and hypermiling to travel photos and water bottles, here are some of our most popular posts from 2008 and 2009.

On our last hiking trip, we took our dog. It was quite a learning curve, because although we’d traveled with our dog many times, this was the first time we’d tried a green vacation with our dog. Here’s how we made our hiking trip fun for us and our dog, and low-impact for the environment.

I boarded the train from Budapest to Prague without hesitation. Elizabeth and I had taken public transportation around Russia, Egypt, Turkey, and other parts of Eastern Europe. By that time, it was something I did without thinking. Little did we know, the Budapest-Prague route is not your typical train ride.

Volunteer travel is an amazing way to see a place, get to know the locals, and leave a positive footprint. We volunteered while in Argentina, but there are plenty of local sites for volunteer travel.

Two years ago tomorrow, we launched Go Green Travel Green with the goal of making environmentally friendly travel accessible to everyone. Since then, we’ve been featured on Newsweek, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, MSN Money, National Geographic, PC World, Kayak, and Lifehack. We were even named one of the [London] Times Online’s Top 100 Travel Sites for 2009.
