What Does “Smart Travel” Mean to You?

Over on our sister site, Trazzler.com, we launched a new contest that allows you to dive into your bag of past travel experiences and select and share the most meaningful ones. The Smart Travel Contest is a chance for us to write about the places and attractions that have contributed to more meaningful travel experiences. Whether we work with a local organization to preserve a national park, volunteer on a working farm, or support a resort that strives to be more eco-conscious in its practices and in the materials it uses, many of us actively seek out experiences that help us see the world in new ways, change us for the better, or allow us to contribute to our community.

What does “smart travel” mean to you? You aren’t limited to experiences in Northern California: write an entry about any experience or spot in the world (ideally 65-120 words and no more than 140).

Two winners will win a 10-day trip to Tonga aboard the NAI’A, one of the world’s top dive and snorkel boats, with Seacology, a nonprofit based in Berkeley dedicated to protecting the threatened habitats, species, and cultures of islands worldwide.
