𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Getaway Girl condemns and does not tolerate racism. The police brutality and systemic oppression against Black people in this country is horrifying and disappointing. And this discrimination goes so much further than what we see on TV. Today’s post is my attempt to add to the conversation something you may not know. To further demonstrate the rate of discrimination our Black friends, colleagues, neighbors, and peers experience on a daily basis. And this is only the surface of it. White person to White person, I get that it can be scary to speak about race and not know if you’re saying the right thing. You know what’s worse? Laying your partner/child/friend to rest for something they didn’t do and didn’t deserve. That’s what the Black community is experiencing right now. They’re mourning decades—centuries—of loss and abuse. We can never understand it, but we can prevent it from happening again. Silence only prevails discrimination. DO NOT REMAIN SILENT. WE CAN’T STAY SILENT ANYMORE. To be honest, we should’ve broke the silence a long time ago. We didn’t. We must now. There’s no other choice now. Use the “scary” words, such as oppression and white supremacy. Because that’s what it is. Do not be a coward. Stand up. Show up. Speak out. The environment is a race issue. The criminal justice system is a race issue. The education system is a race issue. Everything is a race issue. If you’re White and trying to learn how to be anti-racist, my DMs are open. I’m learning too, but I’ll share what I’ve learned. Hopefully, with my efforts, I’ve opened up a bit more space for relief in the Black community. Dear Black people, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for how my ancestors have treated you and the system they created that perpetually discriminates you. I’m sorry for the system I haven’t worked hard enough to fix or dismantle. I promise to work harder today and in the future.

I’m feeling restless HBU? I’ve been inside, living in my parent’s guest bedroom, for 9 weeks now. I was supposed to leave Belarus two days ago. To get by, I’m dreaming up my future travels. I’m thinking of Israel, Egypt, or Oman. Where is the first place you want to go? #stayathome #itllgetbetter #thingswillgetbettersoon #dreamingoftravel #dreamingoftraveling #backyardphotoshoot #howareyoureally
You’re not a bad person for using Amazon! Amazon is acting like a bad company. A few notes I didn’t get to put in the slides: • I hate personifying companies. It’s natural for English-speakers to use “they” for companies, but it’s not a person! I’m actively working to change the vocabulary I use in reference to companies/corporations/etc. • The only thing I still use Amazon for is to borrow books from my local library onto my Kindle. Recently, I looked into switching to books from Barnes & Noble, but that would’ve required me to purchase a new device unnecessarily called Nook in order to read books from Barnes & Noble. Plus, I would’ve lost the books I’ve already purchased on my Kindle. There should be one standard ebook size! I also recently learned that publishers will sell ebooks to libraries, but the purchase is really more of a lease because the ebook expires after a few years. Before digital libraries, libraries bought a physical book and owned it forever. Now publishers are trying to nickel and dime libraries for trying to share knowledge. If consumers can buy an ebook and own it forever, libraries should especially be able to as well. • DM me if you want a prompt to email/write Amazon! #amazonsucks #amazonisamonopoly #monopoly #unsustainable #unethical #amazonisbad #unsustainablebusiness #letstalktrash
How are you? No really, how are you? How is your sustainability journey? Mine looks like this: /\/\/\/\ (up down up down up down) (win fail win fail win fail) That’s ok! We’re doing the best we can and that’s what the planet expects of us! Remember, do what you can. Do more if you can. Do less if you must. Pivot when necessary. Reevaluate often. Prepare to avoid future #sustainabilityfails This is me playing around with my camera and angles some more #athome I never know what to do with my hands (see pic #2) 🤷🏼‍♀️ Ah well, practice makes perfect! #howareyoureallychallenge #howareyou #stayathome #journeytosustainability #upsanddowns #practicemakesbetter
How are you enjoying travel while at home? Here’s what I’ve been up to the last 6+ weeks: • An online photography course with @bemytravelmuse • A virtual retreat with @wanderwomenretreats • Daily walks with audiobooks borrowed from my library with the Overdrive app • Developing a yoga routine • Running with @nikerunning app • Working our with @shreddy • Virtually traveling to South Africa and Czech Republic with @airbnbexperiences • Reading lots! I’m currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. I’ve read travel memoirs, Kurt Vonnegut, and self development books too. What have you been up to? How are you “traveling the world” while at home? #stayathome #traveltheworldathome #traveltheworldfromhome #stayathometosavelives #stopmotionvideo #bemytravelmuse #wanderwomenretreats
The #letstalktrash series got a makeover! I’m still playing around with these so let me know what you think! A few days ago I said I was uncomfortable telling people how to be sustainable during corona. Then I was asked to be more sustainable during this time. So here I am SUGGESTING things you can do to be more sustainable. Remember, sustainability looks different for everyone. Here are few things you could adopt if you haven’t already. Have you made any eco changes recently? Drop them below to share some new ideas 💚 #sustainability #goingzerowaste #sustainabilityduringcovid19 #circulareconomy #recyclegloves #reuseablefacemasks
I don’t feel comfortable telling you how to maintain a zero waste lifestyle during the pandemic. Sustainability is still a priority of mine, but safety is always my first priority. Until recently, safety wasn’t something I had to actively work towards while traveling. That’s truly a blessing. Until now, my gut feeling was all I needed to listen to to stay safe. Now myself and everyone else must do much more to stay safe and keep our communities safe. Personally, I’m adding new sustainability measures to my routine to accommodate the new world we’re living in. Not everyone can do that though. Which is why I’m not sharing too much about sustainability right now and am focusing more on education. I don’t want anyone to feel bad for what they can’t do right now. There’s enough confusing emotions to handle that we don’t need eco-guilt to add to it. I’ll continue sparsely sharing eco tips during the pandemic, but please remember to maintain your safety and follow your community guidelines first and foremost. If you have any sustainability or zero waste questions during the pandemic, please comment below and I’ll advise! #sustainabilityduringcovid19 #sustainability #goingzerowaste #sustainabilityduringpandemic #covid19 #goinggreen2020
𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐛. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If we see trash, shouldn’t we pick it up? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If we see a turtle in need, shouldn’t we call a local animal hospital? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Animals and plants work with each other. They depend on each other. They don’t stay in their “lane!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For everything a plant or animal takes from Mother Nature, it gives back equally. It’s quite literally the circle of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Humans shouldn’t “leave no trace.” We should give back to the planet as much as we take from it. We should contribute to the circle of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Right now, we’re not. We’re taking and not equally contributing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of leaving no trace, let’s leave a positive trace on the planet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you go hike, take your trash with you and pick up trash you see along the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you see a turtle hurt, call the animal hospital and stay as long as possible with the turtle to ensure the vets can find the hurt animal. Maybe hand them some cash for their efforts, since most are volunteers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As travelers, we’ve seen the beauty of this planet. We’ve also seen the sad impacts of people on the planet we love to explore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go one step further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do one more thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leave a positive trace for the planet 💙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #leavenotrace #leavenotraceisdumb #circleoflife #oahuhike #waterfallhike #goonemore
