Would you still go through with an item on your bucket list if it hurt someone or something?

Do you think about your impact as a tourist before you make your plans?

This Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, join me and Pamela MacNaughtan as we host a special Twitter chat on ethical travel with Travel + Escape.

Pamela’s live tweeting from Elephant Nature Park. I’m live tweeting from Las Vegas. Join us to share your experiences, thoughts and to learn about ethical travel, particularly as it relates to elephants and tourism in Thailand (including some special guests!).

Follow along the conversation:

      I think it went really well! Hopefully, it opened up people’s eyes to realize the impact they have on communities, animals and the environment.
