“What A Load Of Rubbish,” says Explorason as we walk into a building and inside are piles and piles of RUBBISH. Immediately before us, there are barrels of BLUE plastic waste, collected from the local beaches. Recently we stayed at Turtle Bay Club in Kenya. Whilst we were there we noticed a board that listed […]
Employing Locals To Educate When Travelling Often when we travel to developing countries where the cost of living is lower, we find we can take more time, and travel at a slower pace.
