]]>Based between Boston and Nantucket, Abbott is an avid traveler and is enthusiastic about keeping it local whether at home or abroad. According to Abbott, her goal with her platform is to inspire others to take a step out of their comfort zone and consider alternative destinations and adventures.
“Nothing could make me happier than hearing from a reader who has arranged travel plans to stay in an eco-friendly hotel that I recently recommended,” she notes on her website, explaining that she firmly believes that as we become better traveled and more mindful, culturally aware citizens of the globe, the world becomes a better place.
“The more I travel, the more I learn to be flexible and adapt,” she further shared her experiences in a recent interview with Misadventures with Andi. “The world has become such a small place, I hope to highlight destinations that might not be on everyone’s radar. Meeting and learning from others around the globe develops a much deeper understanding and I truly think education promotes peace and tolerance.”
Abbott puts her money where her mouth is. Her blog includes a dedicated section for “green living” where she shares her thoughts about subjects as varied as sustainable wine, healthy snacks, and eco-friendly travel gifts.
When trying to trace back her love of travel, Abbott jokes that she probably became a traveler in her mother’s womb. “I was conceived in Japan and long before I knew that fact, I taught myself Japanese phrases and to count in the language,” she explains.
“I wanted to learn all I could about the country. Seriously though, in my days before travel writing, I started and built a clothing and design business that manufactured in India and the Philippines. It was during that time I fell and love with travel and knew it was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”

Try to Go Direct
The fewer flights you fly on, the smaller your carbon footprint on the world will be. With this in mind, if at all possible, try to travel to places with direct connections with whatever your home airport is in order to only feel your impact felt on one flight instead of multiple ones.

Most airlines nowadays offer up an option to customers to “carbon offset” the environmental impact of their flights. This usually comes in the form of a monetary donation made to organizations that serve to plant trees and other vegetation to remove CO2 from the air.
(@plantyourfuture_peru)Only Fly When Necessary
Flying is sometimes a necessary option for travel, but it doesn’t always have to be done when more eco-friendly options are available. For example, if you are thinking about flying from Washington DC to Boston, why not ride the Amtrak train instead, a much more eco-friendly option?
