Welcome to Greener Getaway! You’re probably wondering who is behind the writing on this site. Well, my name is Rory, and I run this site. I have always wanted to travel the world, but as a budget strapped geography and sustainability student, I didn’t know if I could travel cheaply and sustainably. Through my trial and error of travel plans and ideas, I have found out that it is certainly possible to travel on a budget and sustainably.
I have had countless conversations with friends, backpackers, and my own family ​about how I can afford to travel as a student, and how I can do so in good conscious with the gravity of climate change. My solutions are not always perfect, and I have screwed up more than once, but I have worked out some strategies for how to travel cheaply and sustainably.
Join me as I share my journeys, tips and tricks, and experiences of travelling. I’ll show you the good, the bad, and the ugly (trust me, I do not look good after a day on buses). I want to create the down to earth and straight talking guide to travel that I wish I had when I started out.
