The Ultimate Travel Hacking Guide. Top 10 Apps, Sites, And Guides For Sustainable Travel Inspirations. I’ve always really loved road trips, but really hated the food on the road (with the exception of an In-N-Out Double-Double). A bad burrito is such a buzzkill. So, I was beyond thrilled when my partners at SHFT launched their amazing new app: Food Tripping. This is the app that that shows you where all the farmers’ markets, juice bars, artisanal shops/bakeries, and even micro-breweries are located. On my latest road trip (albeit a short one) from L.A. to Palm Springs, I had a serious craving for a smoothie but couldn’t remember the place that I had been months before. Food Tripping had me at the best date smoothie shop ever. Need some sustainable travel inspiration?

I know I still have so much to discover, but here are some lessons that sometimes I had to learn the hard way. Some of them I already kinda knew, some I are silly, some are serious, some are obvious, and some are embarrassing. Maybe this collection will help open up new doors in your own life and own travels, and although we will all learn our own lessons, I hope maybe I will help someone avoid some of my mistakes (example: #14).
