Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

I looked into sailing on tall ships years ago. It was incredibly expensive as a guest, and hard as hell to get into as crew.

Many accept volunteers for the enormous amount of shore side maintenance work, and I've known several people who parleyed that into (low) paying work.
