Choose your souvenirs carefully
Naturally, you’ll want to take something home with you to remember your trip by, but be cautious about the souvenirs you choose. Try to avoid buying anything that could end up in a landfill down the road, and don’t buy anything that supports the cruelty of exotic animals, such as something that’s made from ivory, shell, bone, or fur. Support local artisans whenever possible and remember, the best souvenir can be something as simple as a photograph or a journal entry.
