The consensus on the question I posted before seems to be that it's okay to encourage travel, but that we need to encourage traveling BETTER, whether that means encouraging choosing trains over planes, taking longer trips, seeing things in a different way, etc.
My question now is HOW? How do I as a content creator do that? I mean, just lecturing people about sustainability or whatever isn't going to help. I'd love some PRACTICAL ideas on how to encourage better travel.
So far I'm trying - not always succeeding - to avoid writing about the places that are very popular and instead focusing on lesser-traveled places. I'm avoiding big general listicles and instead trying to write about much narrower topics. As much as possible, I'm traveling by train or bus rather than plane and that'll come through when I write about a place. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I am based in South Africa and have over 15years experience in Hospitality & Travel sector before taking a break to have kids and raise them. My kids are now much older and I now have free time and I am keen to upskill/update my experience to allign with where travel trends are going. I would like to gain experience working remotely in a start up. This doesn't need to be a paid job but rather an internship to help me update my skills and help you get your start up going.
So if anyone is looking for an extra helping hand please get in touch.
