How Getaway with Ida helps make travel more sustainable

Travel is one of the best things in life — and it also leaves a footprint. I don't believe the answer is to stop travelling. I believe it is to travel a little more thoughtfully. Here are some of the ways Getaway with Ida helps.

With every purchase through Getaway with Ida, a share of the payment goes to removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. It happens automatically — you don't have to do anything, and it doesn't change your price.

My trips are built around fewer places and more time in each. Spending longer in one spot means less rushing between destinations — and usually a much better trip. You get to know a place instead of just ticking it off.

My guides and tours point you towards small, local places — family-run restaurants, neighbourhood cafés and independent shops. That way more of your travel money stays in the community you are visiting.

My private tours in Lisbon are walking tours. Walking is the most sustainable way to explore a city — and honestly also the best way to discover it.

All my travel guides, custom trips and packing lists come as PDFs. Nothing is printed or shipped — you simply keep them on your phone.

No trip is perfect, and that's okay. Travelling a little slower, choosing local and leaving a little room in the plan already makes a difference — for the places we visit and for the way we experience them.
