I don't think it possible to live in the world without harming it. But as a full time traveler the last 12 years I think I do less to harm it by consuming less and using less resources. But that was when I was traveling by van and boat. Now I just have a back pack and took 4 flights since May 31. But that was the only way to get to Cartagena from the US. The bus to Medellin took too long so that was our 4th flight. But hopefully now we are in South America we can travel shorter distances by bus. I really do feel bad about the airplane flights.
I wonder if house sitting, which we do a lot of, would be considered more sustainable for nomads. I mean that fridge is going to be running whether the owners are there or not.
These are excellent points Duwan. I agree, in one way or another, we harm the world in some way whether we like it or not. Hopefully, we can offset this or reduce this with positive actions. How we consume is a huge factor. I like the idea of housesitting. House swapping is also a popular way to see other places. At least in Colombia the bus system (in my experience) is very advanced. Although it does depend on the route you take.
