The Speaking of Travel + Leave No Trace Series with Richard Crawford continues. Richard is the host of the Amazon Prime TV series Leave No Trace. And today we have a special guest.

Dr. Rachel Dodds has over 20 years of international experience across a wide spectrum of the tourism industry, is the Director of “Sustaining Tourism,” a boutique consulting firm and is also an Associate Professor at Ryerson University in Canada where she joined the Ted Rogers School of Tourism & Hospitality Management in 2006.

Richard and Rachel understand sustainability means long term planning and management and that experience and understanding of diverse cultures and environments is a fundamental part of tourism. They share examples and tips on how to enjoy sustainable activities that don’t pollute or use energy and how to seek out local experiences.

Rachel's new book, Are We There Yet?: Traveling More Responsibly With Your Children, helps teach new responsibilities when traveling with your children and explores how it helps them to accept new roles through decision making and skill development. You can find Are We There Yet?: Traveling More Responsibly With Your Children, by visiting: store.bookbaby.com/book/are-we-there-yet1. A discount code for the e-pub is AX6DLWA and the discount code for the print edition is 563YVP

And, find out where Richard and his team are headed next. He shares his future travel adventures and where’s he headed for Leave No Trace TV season two. We're all in for a treat.

A must listen!
