Quick fact: this country is SUPER untouristy (no, really, I’m kind of an enigma to many!)... but with all that Bangladesh has to offer, this can change. In fact, this SHOULD change. The lush green banana trees and rice fields are something you’ve got to see. Those absolutely regal sarees? You definitely need to try them on at least once. Oh, not to mention that Bangladesh is home to the largest mangrove forest in the world, home to the elusive Bengali tiger, and also boasts the longest beach. And like I said, the people… they’re truly something special. #experiencebangladesh #bangladeshihospitality #bangladesh #travelasia #travelrebel #thattravelblog
You know what Bangladesh has reminded me of? That it takes nothing, absolutely nothing, to be kind. Sure, there are huge issues plaguing this wonderful nation, but the kindness and resilience and warmth of Bangladeshis is almost tangible. If you’re seeking a real connection with locals, want to observe color and genuine laughter, and have a real sense of adventure, you can certainly have an amazing time here. #Bangladesh #BelgianinBangladesh #travelasia #offthetouristmap #bangladeshihospitality #lovelylocals #thattravelblog
Happy Earth Day, rebels! Today, let’s make the firm commitment to protect the environment in whatever ways we can -- big or small. We have one earth. One home. Just one. It deserves to be honored. #earthday #earthday2019 #sustainability #environment #protecttheearth #bethechange #bangladesh🇧🇩 #Bangladesh
We live in a world where everyone has preconceived notions about everything… and their views on Bangladesh aren’t an exception, unfortunately. But I’m HERE, right now, and let me tell you something: you’ve got to experience something first-hand to really know about it. Bangladesh is full of love and surprises and beauty, too. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but as you know, I like my cups of tea to be interesting and original… and that Bangladesh certainly is :) #Bangladesh #travelasia #unexploredplaces #offthebeatenpath #peopleofbangladesh #travelrebel #thattravelblog #beautifulbangladesh
Oh, you can get your hands on some fantastic The North Face pieces at A.S.Adventure -- another awesome organization that you may recall from my blogs on Kenya. They, too, are doing some fantastic work to uplift rural communities far and wide. We can’t control everything, but there’s a lot we can -- such as where and who to buy from. Think consciously, buy wisely. Photo by @rubenvanvreckem #brandsthatcare #buyconsciously #choosewisely #everylittlestep #ethicalfashion #sustainableconsumerism
The North Face founders -- Doug Tompkins and his wife Kristine McDivitt Tompkins -- are truly visionaries. Learning about the absolutely mindblowing impact of their sustainability efforts has reaffirmed my faith in fighting this good fight. Really, no matter what field you’re in, be it apparel, merchandising, fashion, or travel blogging, keeping the mission of sustainability front and centre can move mountains. Proof? Because of these wonderful individuals and their brand, there are now 10 MILLION ACRES of land that will benefit the entire world: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/19/world/americas/patagonia-national-park-chile.html #brandsthatcare #thenorthface #nationalpark #ecosystem #sustainableapparel #sustainablefashion #livelifeethically #sustainableliving #choosewisely
Don't you just love brands that care? I know I do. Which is why I'm blown away by The North Face's program called Clothes the Loop. Through this initiative, this absolutely wonderful brand wants to ensure that worn shoes and clothes don't end up in landfills. Wow! #brandsthatcare #sustainability #outdoorapparel #sustainablefashion #belgium #asadventure #greatoutdoors
Vlieland, Vlieland, Vlieland...in this crazy, chaotic world, how is such a place still in existence? This is what true and total serenity must be. Just a single charming village on the island, utter peace, the cleanest air, and impressive goals such as attaining energy independence by 2020... UNREAL. This region (Friesland) was ranked in the top three in Europe by Lonely Planet in 2018, and I can totally understand why. Thank you, Vlieland, for so much... including days of absolute bliss. #Vlieland #Europe #travelrebel #wadtodo #waddeneilanden #sustainable #ethicaltourism
Another fantastic day! Hitting the slopes, ziplining over the valley, great après ski & another party night. What's your favorite activity in the mountains? #orelle #valthorens #stubrusnowcase #bluebird
