Whoa! What’s the rush, buddy?

Sustainable travel is slow travel so go ahead and spend several days in the same place. You’ll get to know where you are a little bit better plus you’ll soak in the vibe and culture a whole lot more. Slow travel is easier on the environment and it does more to support the local economy.

👋Meet the “coal age Galápagos.” Joggins Fossil Cliffs in Nova Scotia, Canada has the best evidence of the iconic features of the Pennsylvanian (or Carboniferous) period of Earth History.

Along these cliffs you can easily spot fossil records of terrestrial life such as the first reptiles in Earth history and upright fossil trees.

It’s so easy to walk along the beach and find fossils. (You can pick them up too but you can’t take them home with you.)

Joggins Fossil Cliffs became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
