There are a lot of good environmental & ethical reasons to boycott Black Friday, obligatory gifting & overconsumption (just look at the intro to my Sustainable Gift Ideas post – linked in my bio @tiltedmap).
I’m a big fan of food and experience gifts (restaurant gift certificates, bottles of wine, concert tix etc.).
But I’m also a realist. Sometimes it’s nice to buy things, and give tangible gifts – and that’s okay. 🎁
That’s why I created a gift guide that’s full of small businesses where your shopping supports people making creative, marketable solutions to environmental problems & over-packaging.
(The key word here is marketable – because abstaining from commerce is only going to get us so far, and only going to interest so many people. I think supporting sustainable businesses is a much more useful goal.)
👉 What are your favorite sustainable or low-waste gift ideas? I’m always looking for new tips.
(Check out my faves at the link in my bio @tiltedmap — which includes affiliate links that also support my own small business. If you do choose to buy, I appreciate the support. 💚)

I’m not sure if anyone cares about my architecture snapshots, but I just love taking them. 📷 These are last week & this week – any guesses on the specific locations or just the cities?
(Hint: The second one is celebrating its peaceful revolution today. ✌️)

WTM TAKE-AWAYS: Lots of you responded to my stor

WTM TAKE-AWAYS:
Lots of you responded to my stories about World Travel Market (@wtmlondon ) this week, so I thought you might be interested in a few notes.
Intro: WTM is one of the biggest travel industry events in the world. Part trade show, part networking, part conference with informational sessions. It’s normally held every year in London. This was my 1st.
Q: Is WTM good for travel bloggers/content creators/ influencers?
A: Yes, but only if you really know what you’re looking for, and what your niche is.
This is the big leagues. A LOT of people are here to negotiate deals. Think, companies working with hotels, tour companies working with travel agencies and DMOs (destination management organizations) etc.
So a lot of people here do not care about media. Even less about us newfangled “online media” types. (A lot of the world is still pretty behind on the power of blogs & influencers.)
EXAMPLE: I met a guy from Saudi Aramco (the biggest oil company in the world) and asked him what he was doing at a travel conference. He said he was there to negotiate hotel deals for the 200,000 employees & contractors of his company. So, yeah. Not interested in bloggers.
Q: Is WTM focused on sustainability/ inclusivity/ sustainable travel?
A: In a word, no. Yes, there were lots of sessions on sustainable travel, but if you saw my stories on this, you know I wasn’t happy with the way they were relegated to a tiny corner that couldn’t even fit everyone who wanted to listen. (See my “WTM London” highlight.)
Q: Is it expensive though?
A: WTM is free for media! You have to show bylines or prove you have a blog (🙋‍♀️) or other following.
Q: Alternatives?
A: From what I’ve heard @itbberlin is similar to @wtmlondon . I’ve never been.
If you want something more focused on travel blogging, I recommend WITS, by @sheswanderful . (There are N. American and European options every year – see you Puerto Rico, anyone?)
I’ve also been to @tbexevents , but it’s been a few years. I’ve heard fantastic things about @traverseevents and hope to go soon!
Questions? Have you been or want to go?

💡🇨🇦 Best views at the best price.
This little spot looks like a nothing-special local motel from the road, but the rooms all have jacuzzi tubs with this view.
There’s also a fancier lodge with similar views that’s a five-minute drive away. Go there for dinner — it’s called Alpina Restaurant. (Seriously, go. It was one of our favorite meals in North America and FANTASTIC quality for the price.) But the hotel’s much more expensive, so I’d recommend staying here instead. It’s a little rougher around the edges, but so worth the view. (And it has an EV charger!⚡️)
📍 Moon Water Lodge, Malahat, Vancouver Island
👕👖: @unboundmerino , because that’s almost all I wore on this trip. Reviewed on the blog recently, too — link in bio @tiltedmap !
