Being a responsible traveler isn't about checking items off of a list. It's about dedicating yourself to being a lifelong learner - something I'm a huge advocate for - to consistently be aware of ways you can live more mindfully. What a great mindset, and not just for travel right?! Today, Erin is back on the show to continue to teach us about being responsible travelers. To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: http://www.heartfelthippie.com (www.heartfelthippie.com) Last week on Part 1, Erin and I went through 7 of her 10 best tips for being a responsible tourist. We talked about things like acknowledging diversity and being respectful of other cultures - it was truly an enlightening time with so many good lessons that apply to many areas of life even beyond tourism. Today, we're going through the rest of Erin's tips and focusing mostly on the sustainability side of travel. There are so many ways to reduce our environmental impact while traveling and Erin has plenty of great ideas for us. I loved all of Erin's advice and it has me excited to plan my next trip, whether it's an international getaway or a local road trip! Even though many of us are currently unable to travel, I think you will find this time with Erin inspirational and it will help you to be a little more mindful the next time you hop on a plane, on a train, or even in your car with tent in tow.

Writer and editor at National Geographic Natasha Daly, (https://www.natashaldaly.com/) whose investigative reporting focuses on animal welfare, conservation, and the exploitation of animals, joins the podcast. In this episode, Natasha and Jared discuss in-depth Natasha's 2019 cover story for National Geographic: Suffering unseen: The dark truth behind wildlife tourism (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2019/06/global-wildlife-tourism-social-media-causes-animal-suffering/), which was one of the most widely read pieces of the year for Nat Geo. We discuss dark side of the captive wildlife tourism industry and how "selfie culture" and social media are implicated, the ethics of humans' treatment of nonhuman animals, including the difference between unconscious experience or capacity to suffer and intelligence, ways that travel-goers can have an ethical experience observing wildlife abroad, whether economic need provides a moral justification for exploiting animals, and other related topics.

Natasha Daly is a writer and editor at National Geographic where she covers animal welfare, exploitation, and conservation. She wrote National Geographic’s June cover story, Suffering Unseen, the Dark Truth Behind Wildlife Tourism. If you haven’t read it yet, read it. It is the story of the bleak reality that is daily life for so many captive wild animals, including: elephants, tigers, sloths, dolphins, whales, even polar bears. And, it’s the story of why so many wild animals are living miserable and often painful existences. The answer is, us. Well… us and social media – which is also us. Animal related activities that we often associate with travel and global tourism, activities like bathing elephants in Thailand or taking selfies with sloths in South America, have become social norms and even rites of passage when it comes to taking off to see the world with a backpack or on holiday or honeymoon. And that is because of social media. Yes, people were doing these things pre-internet, but the numbers didn’t compare. We see friends or celebrities swimming with dolphins or holding baby tigers in their Instagram feeds and it looks innocent, harmless and fun and all of a sudden, there’s one more thing to add to the bucket list. But the truth is a different story. The truth involves a lot of pain and a lot suffering behind the scenes. Natasha and photographer, Kirsten Luce spent a year on four continents investigating this story, and what they learned and reported will astonish you.
"There is absolutely a grain of truth to all this," but they're not functionally extinct, National Geographic wildlife reporter Natasha Daly told us.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Find us on Twitter @1A.
Riding elephants, swimming with sharks, and posing with tigers make for popular content on social media. Travelers and influencers post perfectly curated images with captive wild animals... for the likes. Often, wildlife tourist attractions pose problems in animal welfare that are only worsened by consumer demand. Natasha Daly, journalist for National Geographic, joins us on the podcast to discuss what these animals lives are really like, and how we can be responsible when participating in animal tourism. Natasha has serious street-cred - she's worked in the field around the world, reporting on animal cruelty within the travel industry. In 2017, she was awarded Reporter of the Year by the Humane Society of the United States for her animal welfare coverage. ----------- Guest: Natasha Daly, journalist at National Geographic Social Media: @natashaldaly Alpaca My Bags is the podcast that is creating a platform for discussing travel through a critical lens.

"In order for an elephant to be docile enough to interact with a human up close, they have to be trained from a young age," Natasha Daly told us.
