Pack Re-Useable Water &amp; Snack Containers<\/h3>\n<p>Re-useable containers are a great way to cut down on plastic waste when we travel. Snack containers also help you make good food choices when travelling \u2013 it\u2019s easy to buy fruit and veggies from a local market and take them with you on daytrips when you have something safe and secure to put them in. Make sure your water bottles are empty before going through airport customs or, if you\u2019re concerned, pack them in your suitcase.<\/p>\n<p>Good places to buy:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrykids.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Raspberry Kids<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kleankanteen.com\/canada\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kleen Kanteen<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.containerstore.com\/welcome.htm\" target=\"_blank\">The Container Store<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2-michele-2Blabelle-2Bmeditating.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-185 img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2-michele-2Blabelle-2Bmeditating.jpg\" alt=\"2-michele-2Blabelle-2Bmeditating\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2-michele-2Blabelle-2Bmeditating.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2-michele-2Blabelle-2Bmeditating-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Rest and Practice Meditation<\/h3>\n<p>When we\u2019re tired, stressed or overly excited, we tend to make poorer choices in all aspects of our lives. Travel decisions such as \u201cwhat to pack\u201d, \u201cwhat do I really need?\u201d become easier with sufficient sleep, rest and, ideally, a regular meditation practice. By caring for our minds in this way, we can avoid unnecessary purchases saving us money and helping the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Good websites to help with your mental spiritual self-care:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/michelelabelle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michele Labelle<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayanmajix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">mayanmajix.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.philcousineau.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Phil Cousineau<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.padmayoga.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Padma Yoga &amp; Meditation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/3-Peru-2Bweaving.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-186 img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/3-Peru-2Bweaving.jpg\" alt=\"3-Peru-2Bweaving\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/3-Peru-2Bweaving.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/3-Peru-2Bweaving-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/3-Peru-2Bweaving-633x475.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Buy Local Souvenirs<\/h3>\n<p>Shun the airport stores and bargain outlets when you travel, and choose to buy your souvenirs and treats from local artisans instead. Do a little research before you leave to find out what might be available or ask your local tour guide for advice if you\u2019re travelling with a group.<\/p>\n<p>There are a wealth of beautiful, handmade objets and textiles in every country, and buying directly from the maker or smaller business keeps your carbon footprint low and helps the local economy in a healthy way.<\/p>\n<p>Good places to browse:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/heart-of-the-pachamama-with-puma-quispe-singona-2014\/tour-description\" target=\"_blank\">Ayni Ayllu Weaving Cooperative<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.nationalgeographic.com\/ngs\/index.jsp?code=SR10001&amp;keyword=national+geographic&amp;OVMTC=Exact&amp;site=&amp;creative=10134364817&amp;OVKEY=national%20geographic&amp;url_id=148869693&amp;adpos=1t1&amp;device=c&amp;devicemodel=&amp;gclid=CjwKEAjwqamhBRDeyKKuuYztxwQSJAA1luvGUXnls8zbf39DiAmORq1chkvuViEFQEpuAub_i09nMhoCD8fw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\">National Geographic Store<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/4-Turkey-2Bmittens.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-187 img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/4-Turkey-2Bmittens.jpg\" alt=\"4-Turkey-2Bmittens\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/4-Turkey-2Bmittens.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/4-Turkey-2Bmittens-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/4-Turkey-2Bmittens-633x475.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4.
