Mayu loves to blog about traveling, especially the type of travel that enables visitors to connect and volunteer with local people, like our Fair Trade Artisans. Courtesy of our friends at Green By Design, we are able to present to you the fundamentals of “Socially Responsible Travel.” We already know that for many developing countries like Peru, tourism plays an integral part in sustaining the economy. Why not get more “bang for your buck,” so to speak, and volunteer with the local people or learn more about the culture and language of the people you visit? It also helps to ensure that you are minimizing your ecological footprint when you travel.
