Stuff Your Rucksack - Kate Humble
Here at Imaginative Traveller we are constantly striving to work hard on the responsible tourism front. Respect for local people and the environment is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to minimise our impact and maximise respectful interaction. Which is why we were really excited when we came across Kate Humble’s fascinating new initiative ‘Stuff Your Rucksack’! www.stuffyourrucksack.com
The thinking behind this concept struck a knowing chord with us:
“How many times have you been travelling and visited a school or community or local charity that you would love to help? The school needs books, or a map or pencils; an orphanage needs children's clothes or toys. All things that, if only you'd known, you could've stuffed in your rucksack. But once you get home you forget, or you've lost the address, or worry that whatever you send will be stolen before it even gets there...”

We know that we have certainly found ourselves in similar situations and fortunately are in the position where we can actually do something about it via our worldwide Responsible Travel Projects. Check out these and our responsible tourism ethics at www.imaginative-traveller.com/responsible-travel.
We believe that as worldwide travellers, giving something back to the world is essential.
