Massatoerisme - rebel against overtourism

MASSATOERISME: HET KUDDEDIER KOMT NAAR BOVEN

Charlotte4 minuten leestijd1 bericht

We blijven toch kuddedieren. We gaan in massa naar dezelfde plaats. Vaak om dezelfde foto te maken en dan weer snel te vertrekken. Waarom toch?  Maakt massatoerisme de wereld onleefbaar? Het is een vraag die aan bod komt in een podcast van de VRT. Het is een stelling waar ik me niet over uitspreek. Het maakt een vakantie in ieder geval wel minder leuk.  Het woord...

De XXL Gouden Cirkel Reisroute

Charlotte5 minuten leestijd2 opmerkingen

  De adembenemende natuur van Ijsland blijft me verbazen! Ik ben nog maar net terug of ik betrap mezelf erop goedkope vluchten met Icelandair te zoeken naar deze prachtige plek. Vanuit Brussel vlieg je al in 3 uur naar Reykjavik, maar je hebt ook veel voordelige VS/Canada verbindingen via Ijsland. (een leuke insider tip: heen- en weer vluchten van Londen naar...

Wat neem je mee op een Ijslands avontuur

Charlotte4 minuten leestijdSchrijf een bericht

Inpakken is altijd een beetje een avontuur op zichzelf. Terwijl ik me aan het voorbereiden ben voor mijn volgende reis naar Siberië (Ja, dat las je correct), moet ik constant terugdenken aan mijn vorige super coole avontuur – woordspeling geslaagd – in Ijsland. Misschien herinner je je nog dat ik vijf dagen op deze prachtige plek was in mei. Dankzij wat slimme...

Ijsland met een klein budget

Charlotte2 minuten leestijd1 bericht

We zijn nog maar net terug van onze roadtrip door Ijsland en het was zonder twijfel een van de indrukwekkendste plekken qua natuur dat ik al ooit gezien heb. Aangezien dit land de laatste jaren zo werd gepromoot op sociale media had ik het redelijk toeristisch verwacht. Toch viel dat zelfs in de meest toeristische plekjes zoals Geysir, Gullfoss en Seljalandsfoss heel...

What are your good intentions for 2020? If lowering your carbon footprint and enjoying slow traveling is on the list, you can definitely reset and relax on this amazing island in the Wadden Sea: Terschelling. 👣 💚 Photos by TravelRebel @lemoens #terschelling #nederland #bestofeurope #bestofnetherlands #thenetherlands #europetravel #carbonfootprint #reizen #tourism #sustainabletourism #duurzaamreizen #reisblogger #reisen #reisblog @wadtodo.nl @vvvterschelling
Vlieland, for me, is more than just a destination… it is a whole mindset. Stepping foot there actually affects every fibre of my being; my internal clock stops malfunctioning, my eyes get clearer, and I feel more alive than I ever do in bustling cities. So, Vlieland means putting myself first when it’s most needed. It means finding balance. It means escaping chaos, internal and external. What place does all that for you? This first photo is a perfect example of how to make something good from something bad. This stunning piece is crafted entirely from plastic that came out of the ocean. Aside from being visually pleasing, it also serves as a reminder to SAY NO TO PLASTIC. Always. #sustainabletourism #nosingleuseplastic #planetearth #noordzee #waddeneilanden #vlieland @wadtodo.nl #duurzaamheid #duurzaamreizen #glamping #nederland #thenetherlands
@Verbier is actively working with multiple organizations to find solutions to reduce the impact of ski tourism. Eco friendly transportation methods, plastic waste reduction, repair spots and an e-bike festival during the summer are only some of their awesome sustainable focus points. Let’s recognize those doing good and let’s hope this chain continues to grow!

It's my birthday -- another year done and dusted. Another year of adventure, growth and, most importantly, so much love. All thanks to my fantastic family and friends who've supported me, cared so deeply, and truly made me the person that I am. Wouldn't life be wonderful if we simply lived each moment fully, loved with all our heart, and kept that fearless inner child alive? Didn't worry needlessly and just enjoyed. That's my hope for the coming year, and that's what little Charlotte would want for sure. And, in the spirit of my birthday, rebels, I ask each of you for a gift: do one sustainable thing today. Doesn't matter how big or small; just try to do one thing that helps you live more consciously. Oh, also, tell me: is it time to get a fringe again? 😂
Wow, 2019 has come to an end. Sometimes, I just can’t believe it flew by so fast; at others, I can’t wait to wave it goodbye and move on to the new chapter. Here’s what the year has been like: fast and slow, good and bad, filled with laughs and tears, and confusion and clarity. I suppose all those juxtapositions are normal -- especially when you’re growing a company and team, all the while trying to balance a healthy personal life as well! So, what about resolutions? Well, some are the same as last year. To live fully. To work hard and to love hard. To experience deeply. And, of course, to travel widely and fearlessly. And a few new ones have cropped up, too. To surround myself with only those that bring light and positivity. To reunite with old friends. And to trust in this life, this big huge crazy divine plan, openly and completely… everything will work out for the best. What are your resolutions, rebels? How was 2019 and what are you looking forward to this upcoming year? (Oh, and to end on a joyous note, here are some pictures of me. These weren't picture perfect moments, but moments in which I was perfectly happy. Cheers!) #bye2019 #2019 #2020 #reizen #travelrebelreflects #travelrebel
We at TravelRebel will be starting the new year by staying true to our commitment towards sustainability. Here's some big news: we've bought a forest and will be planting trees throughout 2020! Like CO2 compensation, or ensuring that we travel to only non-touristy places, this forest is a small step. A small step towards making our earth a bit healthier, a bit more liveable. In that vein, rebels, we urge YOU to start the new year with your very own small step towards sustainability. Just imagine what would happen if we all contributed to this cause that's bigger than any of us -- we'd wake up in a truly different world. Here's to 2020! #betterworld #unknownplaces #sustainabletourism #planttrees #forest #keepexploring #belgiantraveller #reizen #duurzaamreizen #nomasstourism #ethicaltravel #positiveimpacttravel #positiveimpact #traveleurope #trees #treesofinstagram #travelrebel #2020 #bye2019
I know some people are a bit sceptical about the concept of offsetting your carbon footprint. I truly understand that some of you are. But I strongly believe that it's better than doing nothing. At TravelRebel.be​ we compensate all of our trips by investing in climate projects that reduce C02 emission, develop local sustainability and improve the lives of local people in developing countries. We support several projects such as: avoiding deforestation through efficient cookstoves in Ghana and providing safe water and prevent deforestation in Uganda. Want to read more?

Oh, Wadden Islands, you have my heart! In 2019, we were lucky enough to explore three of these five amazing islands in the Netherlands. And let’s just say that each one was a delight beyond belief. The Wadden Islands are truly the perfect destination to unwind, stargaze for hours, and soak in all the therapeutic effects of nature. Today, as I look back on an extremely busy year, I’m longing for some relaxing days in Ameland. Let’s see how many trips to these islands 2020 has in store for us! #discoverthedark #Wadtodo #northsea #reizen #weekendjeweg #growingteam #waddenzee #duurzaamreizen #nederland #thenetherlands #stargazing #sustainabletourism #teamtravelrebel #travelrebel #ameland @vvvameland #vvvameland @Wadtodo
Ski touring -- if you know, you know. So much more than it sounds like. It’s exploring and enjoying snowy mountains to the fullest. It’s being one with nature. It’s the sweet struggle to reach the peak and then the magical reward of fairytale-like views. And it’s that descent, that feeling of being able to fly. What an adventure, indeed.
