By incorporating social and environmental concerns into your trip planning, you can be sure that your impact on the cultures and people you visit will only be positive. The intent is not to stop traveling, or to scare you away from a challenge. The goal is to travel responsibly, with respect for the situations of others. In this way the consequences of ignorant travel can be minimized, and the benefits from cross-cultural understanding and interaction can be maximized.

As my work shows, I am an advocate for development projects, yet am somewhat tormented by the best means of accomplishing them. The dignity, agency, and abilities of people in need are often undermined by development projects, or more accurately, by the mindsets of the people implementing them. I'm hoping that by writing about these issues I'll be able to work through these concerns, and find a middle ground where development work can be done without disparaging those who are the recipients of it.
If you have any answers to this dilemma, let me know - it would save me a lot of stress and guilt!
