The One Life Live show is on in London this weekend, and will be a great place for you to find inspiration and advice for your eco holidays.
Although the actual show is about making that change to get a better work/life balance – there is plenty there to offer the eco traveller!
Many travel and volunteering companies will be there to offer you travel plans, charity treks, responsible tourism advice and to basically make sure that if you want to travel you will get the chance.
The Show:
There are 8 zones for the show offering all sorts of companies up for a chat with you – and if you come well prepared you can get all your eco answers in one sitting.
There are also many free seminars on offer throughout the few days covering topics about volunteering, life changing adventures and advice on planning that grown up gap travel – even some on how to make money while you travel and getting qualified to teach abroad too.
What’s It Like?
Well, I have been several times myself, and it is a great (but tiring) day out as there is so much crammed in! There were so many companies there that I hadn’t heard of – or some I knew that were offering something different! There was a whole overland adventure vehicle for you to explore, yurts and canoes – plus the chance to sign up to adventure travel magazines at a massive reduction.
Of course there are also people running the stands that have already done what you are planning, and many who have even lived in the countries you want to go and visit – so make sure you talk to as many people as you can – and make sure you live the only life you have.
