               Nature is our Home          

Over the years we have noticed how travel can negatively impact the environment. Issues such as air pollution, the use of single-use plastics, and a lack of awareness about the specific challenges faced by the areas we visit contribute to the potential harm we may unknowingly cause. In our commitment to mitigating these impacts and fostering awareness, we're dedicated to researching and understanding each place better. Our goal is to provide practical tips to our fellow wanderers, empowering them and us to be conscientious, sustainable, and sensitive travelers.

As travellers, we hold a deep awareness of the impact we have on the planet. Travel is knit into our DNA, and we believe that experiencing new perspectives and immersing ourselves in other cultures have the power to cultivate an even deeper love for the earth. For us, travel ignites a fierce passion to protect the planet and do our part to ensure healthy and happy lives for generations to come. Yet we acknowledge that these voyages also have a cost, which is why Wander Home is committed to donating 1% of all sales to 1% For The Planet and to offsetting our carbon footprint by donating to Carbonfund.org for each participant who travels to attend our retreats. The earth is our home, and we will continue to commit to protecting this beautiful planet.

  • - Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Avoid the use of single-use plastics such as plastic bottles, bags, and straws. Bring a reusable water bottle and shopping bags. Many businesses in Nosara support plastic reduction efforts and offer alternatives.

    - Responsible Wildlife Viewing: When observing wildlife, especially sea turtles, follow local guidelines and keep a respectful distance. Avoid disturbing nesting turtles or their hatchlings. Participate in organized eco-tours with trained guides who emphasize ethical wildlife interactions.

    - Conserve Water and Energy: Be mindful of your water and energy usage. Use towels and bed linens for more than one day, turn off lights and air conditioning when not in use, and take shorter showers. Water resources can be limited in some areas, and reducing energy consumption helps lower the carbon footprint.
