Are you a writer, blogger, or influencer who wants to write on Getaway Girl? Please read the below paragraph carefully, then complete this form.

Getaway Girl is looking for writers who want to share their passion for Mother Earth with like-minded individuals. Guest posts should educate readers about climate change and sustainability from a perspective that I (Kendal) cannot cover. Read my About page to learn more about me. The post can be a personal story, personal experience, report of a community, academic essay, and more. Pitch your best ideas! Posts should be original, well-written, realistic but also supportive of climate change action (no Debbie-Downers), greater than 1,000 words, provide 3+ photos, include peer-reviewed or other reputable resources when necessary, and a bio about the writer. The writer must fall into one of these categories:

  • Male or non-binary
  • BIPOC
  • LGBTQ+
  • Senior citizens
  • Locals from communities impacted by climate change
  • Other minority and underrepresented demographics

Unfortunately guest posts are unpaid at this time. You may include 2 links to your website or social media, plus a link in your author’s bio. Getaway Girl’s DA is 17 and PA 26 as of November 22, 2020. 500+ users read Getaway Girl monthly.

My little winter wonderland ❄️ I hadn’t have internet for a bit...but I’m catching up! No internet has allowed me to refocus on nature and other things I love. I’m missing this app less and less... But I miss the connection with you when I’m absent. Two things I’m excited for: 🤭 Showing you my apartment progress, and making it as sustainable as possible during a pandemic 🤭 Challenging you and me to really ramp up our sustainability. I’ve felt lazy with my sustainability growth lately. I’ve got a fun challenge to really kickstart my eco intentions for the year! What are you excited for in 2021? #winterwonderland #snowglobe #reallifesnowglobe #snowfall #winterhiking #germanyhiking #snowcoveredtrees
Do you have a new representative in your district? How about a new senator in your state? Or is it the same one as always? I encourage you to write your representatives this holiday season. Congress is not in session, meaning they are back home in their districts with time to read constituent’s letters and plan future policy. Introduce yourself! Kindly tell them why you voted for them—for climate action. If you didn’t vote for them, kindly tell them why (they didn’t have strong enough climate policy). Talk to them respectfully, but remind them why they have the job they have—to fight for you and other constituents. If you want to see my letters and my tips for writing letters to politicians, comment a 💙 below! Have you ever written to your politicians? Why or why not? #climateaction #climateactionnow #writeyourreps #writeyourrepresentatives #demandbetter #demandclimateaction #climatejustice #climatejusticenow #climatejusticeissocialjustice #environmentalist
In this holiday season, after a tumultuous year for Mother Nature, I’m sure I’m not alone with feelings of eco-guilt. It’s normal to feel bad for how you and I have harmed the planet in the past. Heck, I still feel guilt for how I trash the planet because I’m not perfect. Good thing perfection isn’t a requirement to be an environmentalist! 💚 We need more imperfect people doing the best they can for the planet. Because Planet Earth doesn’t need the eco-equivalent to a diet pill 🙅🏼‍♀️ You matter. Your actions for the planet matter. Link in bio for more info on how to avoid eco-guilt as a traveler! #ecoguilt #progressnotperfect #mothernatureneedsyou #earthneedsyou #dontfeelguilty #goingzerowaste #sustainabilityeducation #knowbetterdobetter #climatecrisis #climatecrisisisreal
Eco-guilt is tricky. Sometimes it can be so suffocating that you can’t do anything at all to actually move towards climate change solution. This is when it is probably better defined as eco-anxiety. But then sometimes eco-guilt leads to the motivation to do better and be better for the planet 🌎 Over time, I’ve learned to focus my eco-guilt into action. Yesterday I went to the store to pick up a few things. I didn’t bring a reusable bag because I figured I’d just hand carry the few things I needed. I ended up with a plastic bag. I felt guilty and stupid. Of course I should’ve brought in my reusable bag! This eco-guilt turned into a lesson: always be prepared because you never know what might happen. Sustainability is hard. Good thing we’re not expecting perfection! Turn your eco-anxiety into lessons learned and prepare for the next time. Next time, I’ll be more prepared. Bye bye eco-guilt 👋🏼 Do you experience eco-guilt? Tell me more in the comments!
Buying gifts for sustainable travelers can be oh so hard! Why? 1. Since they’re a traveler, they appreciate experiences more than stuff. In fact, they’re living out of a bag so often that they probably want less stuff not more! 2. Since they’re eco-conscious, you may not know what all goes into an eco gift. You may not be as trained to spot green washing. You may not know what sustainable values are most important to them (zero waste, vegan, ethical work conditions, etc.) So how the heck do you find the perfect gift for the people in your life who are a little difficult to give to? Swipe for a few of my favorite ideas, then check out the blog post (link in bio) to read the rest! I’ve updated this post from last year so I recommend searching “gifts” on my blog to find it more easily!! P.S. These gifts are great for really anyone!! Which of these would you like to give or receive? Comment below😃
What will you do today for the planet? Feel free to share below to help give ideas to others 🤗 Truthfully, I’ve found it hard to be sustainable in quarantine. My meals and food are delivered to me in single use packaging. There’s not much to do but sit on my computer most of the day. So I signed up for @permacrafters Activism course! While I love making personal swaps and sharing them with friends, I’m not great at promoting climate solutions. I’ve never even attended a climate protest 🤭 I hope this will help me find new ways to be a better activist! #climatechangesolutions #fightingtheclimatecrisis #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #climateactivismschool #climateactivism #sustainabilityinquarantine #onesmallstep #goingzerowaste #environmentalquotes #environmentalquote
I meant to post this carousel yesterday, but the WiFi has been out for the last two days in the hotel I’m quarantining in. Alas, we’re still in this major shopping weekend. Have you bought anything this Black Friday weekend? I certainly have! Furnishing an apartment is expensive and, as much as I’m searching for secondhand things, there are a few things I wanted to buy new. I wanted to support a business that shares my values for these purchases, which inevitably means they’d be more expensive. Yes, products cost more when there’s an ethical supply chain and workers are paid a fair wage. Black Friday is complicated though. I encourage you to grab a cup of your favorite coffee or tea ☕️ and read the entire post about Black Friday on my blog. This way, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the economic and historical roots of this shopping “holiday” and how to better shop. All in all, don’t feel guilty for shopping on Black Friday. But please do the best you can to keep the environment and people in mind as you make your purchases! Feel free to post a sustainable business you’ve bought from this weekend. Self promotion of sustainable or small businesses allowed 👇🏼 #blackfriday2020 #buynothingfriday #blackfriday #shopsmallsaturday #badconservation #sustainableshopping #buysustainable #buysustainably #shopsmallbusiness #shopsmallthischristmas
During the summer, I made a pledge to be a better traveler. I said I’d share my code of ethics with you to be transparent. While I may have met the deadline personally (I created this code months ago), I never share it with you! So here it is. I hope you take inspiration from this, or even adopt it into your own life. There’s a free downloadable version on the blog so you can print it and reference it later! What would you add? (Be sure to check out the full blog post, with many more goals, in the link in bio!!) #responsibletravel #travelcodeofethics #codeofethics #sustainabletravel #ecotravel #supportsmallbusinesses #supportbipocbusinesses #sustainabletravelblog #sustainabletravelblog
2020 has been hard for anything. I’m happy to share some good blogging and personal news 🤗 (Keep scrolling for a cat pic) A lot has changed in the four months I closed my laptop from blogging and social media. What are you most excited about that’s new around GG? What’s some big news in your professional or personal life? Share below 👇🏼 so we can celebrate 🎉
