Disney’s Pete’s Dragon Will Steal Your Heart – Out in Theaters August 12th
We had a chance to check out Disney’s new film Pete’s Dragon last weekend and absolutely fell in love with everything about this movie.

Disney is such the master at making heartfelt movies and this one is no exception. From the storytelling to the CGI, cast to Elliot the Dragon sweet personality, there is so much to love about this film.

An Awesome and Affordable South African Safari – Addo Elephant Park
The highlight of my family’s one month trip to South Africa this spring was our self-drive safari in Addo Elephant Park.

Since we travel full-time on a budget, the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a week safari just wasn’t going to happen. We heard that the self-drive tours are still fantastic and at a fraction of the cost – and it was so true! AMAZING!! Since we were traveling along the southern coast of South Africa in an area called The Garden Route, we decided to try…

I wrote a piece about sustainable travel here you can check out but basically sustainable travel is about leaving a positive impact on the communities you visit. This could be something as simple as eating at local restaurants to support the business owners (think small businesses) as opposed to your favorite fast food joint to purchasing souvenirs that are handmade by locals opposed to trinkets made just for tourists.

Join The Sustainable Travel Movement
What exactly is sustainable travel? The World Tourism Organization specifies it is the “management of all resources in such a way that economic, social, and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity, and life support systems.” Sustainable tourism should also maintain a high level of tourist satisfaction and ensure a meaningful experience to the tourists, raising their awareness about sustainability issues and promoting sustainable tourism practices amongst them. (Source: World Tourism Organization). According to a new poll, most travelers agree that traveling sustainably is important, but many may feel it’s easier said than done. AIG Travel, a worldwide leader in travel…
