Over the past few years, I have tried to travel more sustainably and reduce my carbon footprint. To do this I have been travelling the world using less aircrafts and travelling more by foot, bus, train and shared car. I find this way much more enjoyable and authentic anyway, as you get to interact more with locals and experience real, local life. submitted by HemptonApparel to travel [link] [comments] Catching a ride through Malawi on a pick up truck Here are three of my absolute favourite overloading trips possible with no airplanes. I took these trips with my travel partner (and husband) Eric in the past few years. Backpacking and overlanding travel is my passion, so if you have any questions please comment below and I will get back to you. Some of these trips are a bit more off the beaten path too, which means that it is great for supporting local communities. You won't find many large, Western chains of hotels, restaurants, transport companies etc. You can stay in home-stays, eat in locally run restaurants and travel in share taxis with the locals. I have listed my top three, and ranked them in order of what I feel are the difficulty levels of travel. When I say difficulty, this refers to things like ease of getting from A to B, crossing borders, obtaining visa, safety issues, accommodation, and all the things you have to deal with every day on the road. Pamukkale, Turkey Region: Eastern Europe Route: Estonia to Italy Length: 3.5 months Difficulty: Easy to travel for new travellers. Train through to Macedonia. I bet a high percentage of you reading this have travelled to Europe at some point and know how easy it is to travel in Western Europe, but it’s very touristy and also pretty expensive. If you are looking for European travel, consider Eastern Europe. It's absolutely beautiful, it’s easy to travel, lots of it is untouched by tourism, and the best part; it is a lot cheaper than Western Europe. We flew from London to Estonia and took buses all the way down to Turkey then back through to Italy. The buses varied, but most of the route you can find comfortable and safe coaches, with recliner chairs, sometimes even wifi and hot drinks. Travel doesn't get much easier than this. Oh, and the food is incredible. So much delicious food with lots of variety between countries. For vegetarians and vegans, you can get by just fine. I fell in love with some of the fascinating and stunning countries here, but Albania was my highlight and I rank it as my favourite European country to visit for travel. I bet when you think of Albania, you don’t think of pristine beaches with turquoise water surrounded by lush green mountains. Well that's exactly what I think of when I remember my time there. It’s also a very cheap country to visit, with friendly locals. Mostar, Bosina and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina was also a very memorable place for me. It is full with so much history (some very sad, but it’s something we should all learn about), and so much impressive, historic architecture. The old towns of Montenegro and Bosnia definitely give Western Europe a run for it’s money if you ask me. Here are a few of my top things to do across Eastern Europe:
Albania. We visited the following countries in this order:
Kotor - Montenegro. Region: Central Asia and Caucasus Route: Turkey to Kyrgyzstan! Length: 4 months Difficulty: A bit more off the beaten path, less comfort but still a safe place to travel. We were greeted by a whole family in Tajikistan who let us camp on their land. Central Asia is an absolute delight for anyone who loves culture. Our senses came alive in every way throughout Central Asia with the constant change of sights, smells and tastes. It certainly is a safe part of the world to travel, and there are also pretty reliable trains through many of the countries. From the quirky city of Tbilisi in Georgia to hiking snow capped mountains in Kyrgyzstan you will never get bored in this part of the World. The landscapes I encountered here were magnificent and endless, if you are into hiking and nature put the Stans on your list. I would say the more challenging parts of Central Asia would firstly be the language barrier because you won’t find many English speakers. They all speak Russian though so just download offline Russian on Google Translate and you'll get by (it helps massively if you can learn to read the Cyrillic alphabet too). Tbilisi, Georgia. Secondly, the food may be tricky if you are vegetarian or vegan in the Central Asian countries. The food was ok, but as The Lonely Planet puts it, “You don’t travel to Central Asia for the food”. Stock up on yummy Georgian dumplings (khinkali) and khachapuri while you can because one you hit the Stans, it’s not so great. In saying this, before we arrived we read horror stories about the food, but once we arrived it was fine. It is a lot of noodle soup mostly, but it kept us going. Here are a few of my highlights from these countries:
Made it to the top - Kyrgyzstan. Here is a list of the countries we visited on this trip, in the order we passed through them.
Region: Northern to Southern Africa Route: Cairo To Cape Town (Egypt to South Africa) Length: 6 months Difficulty: More challenging for those more adventurous travellers. Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. This one admittedly was often more tiring and challenging getting from A to B but it was absolutely the most rewarding. If you are happy to travel a bit rough and are looking for a more off the beaten path overlanding route where you will feel vibrant raw culture and meet the friendly locals daily - then this is a great route for you. This is my favourite and most memorable trip I have done because it was so unique compared to any other. Some countries are easier to travel than others. For example, Egypt has a great train system that can take you from the very North in Alexandria, through all the must-see attractions down to Aswan in the South where you can get your Sudanese visa then cross the border. Where as, Ethiopia definitely requires more patience. Our experience here was an average speed of 15km an hour, people vomiting next to us, no windows to be opened (due to superstitions about the wind), many broken down buses and only 'toilet stops' on the side of the road. Lalibela churches in Ethiopia. You will also need to consider visas more in Africa and research each country before you begin your trip. Most countries on this itinerary have a visa on arrival for many passports, you just get it at the border for a reasonable fee. Some need more planning for longer stays and multiple entry (Ethiopia for us). Food is not bad. Nothing fancy, very repetitive but some countries have some good food. You will often get stuck with pap/ ugali/ nsima, (it is called something different in every country), or as one lady in Zimbabwe told me “You’re English, it’s the African version of mashed potato”. It's basically just maize mashed up into a substance. It's a filler and doesn't have much taste, but it does the job. When I talk to people about my Cairo to Cape Town trip, usually the very first thing people ask is “Is it safe?”. Well, for me I would say yes, providing you take precautions like you would travelling anywhere else. In the 6 months I spent on this trip, I have never had anything stolen from me...well, I had one pair of glasses pinched, but I put them down and left them and when I returned 5 minutes later they were gone (my fault). I never felt threatened, but there were a couple of times I felt a little bit uncomfortable if we got stuck somewhere after a bus broke down or something. So, you need to travel smart and be able to deal with slightly more unpredictable situations. Most accomodation we stayed in, I would rate as fine, but I know many of my friends from home wouldn't be happy taking a cold bucket shower after a full day crammed on a minibus. A lady buying fish from a boat in Mozambique. Travel is not as easy here. Get used to long days on a minibus, sharing seats and the only toilet stop being the side of a road. If you’re ok with all this then you’ll have an experience like no other in East Africa. The other noticeable thing about transport is it is not set up for tourists. So expect to hop on and off several minibuses to get where you want (sometimes we switched up to 6 or 7 in one day). Crossing land borders will pretty much all done by foot. You generally take a bus to the last town of one country, cross the border by foot, take a taxi to the first town, and take a minivan to the next destination (or something like this). You need to be prepared to just find accomodation where ever you are when it gets dark sometimes. We had to do this a few times, but we never struggled to find somewhere to crash or something to eat. Some of my personal highlights from this trip would be:
The most scenic border crossing I've ever seen - Zambia to Zimbabwe. Here is a full list of the countries that I visited on this trip:
Playing with some kids after we visited their church. I have also overlanded through South America, South East Asia and Western Europe but these are the ones that really stand out to me. Let me know in the comments other awesome overlanding trips you've done, I would love to hear about them! I'm always looking for inspiration for my next trip. If you enjoyed, this - please check out my other posts - I'm new here :) But now i'm back in Australia - I will start writing more, sharing more and always happy to answer questions :) Cheers, Hannah.
