We all know that travel (particularly air travel) is terrible for the environment, but in all honesty (and somewhat ironically), the industry isn’t going anywhere. Even with more awareness and advancements in reducing waste, the burden largely falls on travelers to forego “convenience” and embrace reusable items. I’ve previously shared tips for making your trip …
Opening my suitcase and sharing everything I packed for a long weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina: It’s not often you see a long-distance road trip packing list on Wayward! A few weeks ago we visited our friends in Charlotte, North Carolina, and to be honest, I fretted over what to pack. Michael and I had …

When searching for fares, we found great deals …
