It’s time to change the way we travel. One place that we hold dear to our hearts in the birthplace of our company - Hawai‘i.⠀ ⠀ 🤙 Learn about the history and the culture of the places that you visit.⠀ ⠀ 🤙 You are visiting someone’s home, not someone’s playground ❤⠀ ⠀ 🤙 Our goal is to choose our partners with care - those who will not exploit native culture, locals, and the environment for the sake of satisfying the financial gain from tourism. ⠀ ⠀ 🤙 Hawai‘i is just one out of many places that’s pushing back and demanding a better way to restart tourism. ⠀ ⠀ “For years, Hawai‘i has been packaged as a picturesque paradise. A place where mainland travelers could forget the worries of home. The problem? Hawai‘i’s land, history, and people are often ignored or trampled. Chris Colin reports on the locals who are pushing back...to most outsiders, Hawai‘i is defined by the lei-draped, aloha-dispensing, honeymooner-welcoming image of the place. There’s no room for another version to emerge.” ⠀ ⠀ Source: ⠀ https://www.afar.com/magazine/learning-to-decolonize-and-travel-responsibly-in-hawaii⠀ ⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #TravelDesigner #BespokeTravel #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #EthicalTravel #ExpeditionGuide #YASLPhotosandStories #RoamAnywhere #RoamNation #ChooseAdventure #SeekMoments #OurDailyPlanet #EarthStoke #StayPlayful #AdventureOften #Wanderlust #AdventureSeeker #WonderfulPlaces #AdventureThatIsLife #RoamThePlanet #OpenMyWorld #Hawaii #Aloha #Malama (at Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CULTU9HK6lI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey there! Yahnny here 😁 Can you spot our recycled camping gear 🧐? Towards the left, there is a white shopping bag that was reused repeatedly and a potato chip bag that was used for our rubbish. There’s also a paper tomato tray that was used to store various vegetables after they’d been cut. We were traveling for two weeks this summer by car through Sweden and camped every day. It’s our preferred mode of “lodging” whenever possible. Also, cooking nutritious foods every day was pleasurable 🍎! Growing up, my mother taught me to use what was available, to use everything as much as possible, and to create dishes from leftovers. She was great with that! I can’t thank her enough for teaching me how to look for ingredients that are in season and to grow vegetables so that I knew what good produce looks, smells, and tastes like. She also taught me that every meal should be prepared with love and care because food becomes a part of us. Also, before sustainability became a widely known term, I was reusing bags and containers because my mom always cooked enough for days and it is in our Filipino culture to share food ❤ When we have a chance to eat together, you will most likely see me “zen-like” cooking. Don’t be surprised to be be offered leftovers to take home with you in an icecream container 🥰⠀ ⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #TravelDesigner #BespokeTravel #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #YASLPhotosandStories (at Bläsinge, Skåne Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUGEFifqFJi/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Åstol was first inhabited in the mid-18th century in connection with one of the great herring periods. The fishing industry continued to provide a good livelihood for the island people, and during the heydays there were around 500 inhabitants. More than 20 large steel trawlers had their home port on Åstol in the 1960s. The fishing industry declined during the 1970s and many people moved off the island, but new residents arrived to enjoy the magic of the place during the summer. The island is now vibrant all year round and fishing provides crayfish, crabs and what is sometimes called the sea's black gold - lobsters." - https://buff.ly/3nF1Jx0⠀ ⠀ We visited Åstol during the summer and chose to have a #staycation vs. international travel. The trip to the west, south, and southeast regions of Sweden was what #slowtravel brings out - tucked away villages, camping without stress, history, culture, and foods that are specific to regions that sit next to each other 🙌🏽 What a treat to be able to do this in our own “backyard” 😁⠀ ⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #TravelDesigner #BespokeTravel #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #EthicalTravel #ExpeditionGuide #YASLPhotosandStories #RoamAnywhere #RoamNation #ChooseAdventure #SeekMoments #OurDailyPlanet #EarthStoke #StayPlayful #AdventureOften #Wanderlust #AdventureSeeker #WonderfulPlaces #AdventureThatIsLife #RoamThePlanet #OpenMyWorld (at Åstol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT0JH4XK6ur/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunsets in Hawai‘i can be of the most beautiful in the world 😍 But did you know this:⠀ “If you watch the sunset with a group of people, particularly near a resort, there’s an excellent chance you’ll witness the Hawaiian Pū ceremony. At sunset, it’s traditional to blow a shell horn. The first note of the horn is blown when the bottom of the sun touches the water. Three more notes are blown, with the last sounded when the sun disappears. The notes call four Hawaiian gods. A final note of goodbye and Mahalo (thanks) ends the ceremony. The Pū is not blown at night, because then it might summon darker spirits.”⠀ ⠀ Source: “The Scientific Reason Why Hawaiian Sunsets Are So Beautiful,” posted on August 13, 2018 by Anne Helmenstine (updated on May 10, 2021) - https://buff.ly/3ttu0HM⠀ ⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #TravelDesigner #BespokeTravel #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #EthicalTravel #ExpeditionGuide #Hawaii #HawaiianSunset #HawaiianHistory #HawaiianCulture #Aloha #YASLPhotosandStories (at Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CToRAoyKwA3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Basque Country, Spain - “Located on the coast of Zumaia, Itzurun Beach is one of the most spectacular areas. Its huge and the vertical cliffs and the limestone walls that reach the 150 metres of slope will attract visitors, where they will be able to admire a geological phenomena called flysch caused by the erosion of the sea throughout the years.⠀ ⠀ Itzurun Beach is 270 metres long, and has golden sand and heavy swell. It is located close to the urban area of Zumaia. Water sports lovers will have the chance to practise different activities, such as surfing, canoeing or bodyboarding. There are right-hand and left-hand waves that vary depending on the tides. The western part of San Telmo Beach requires a higher level of skill because of its sand and rock bottom. At high tide here a wave forms close to the shore that bounces off the cliff and creates excellent ramps for bodyboarders.” - https://buff.ly/3kQgABL⠀ ⠀ We create custom itineraries based on our personal experience and relationships with local providers.

All my life, a prevailing purpose has ruled almost every function of my being - travel as a way of life. This is a privilege but it is also a labor of love to be able to travel for a living. Once that privilege is diminished, one must find a way to uphold the purpose. It isn't merely with physical transference from one place to the next but the immersion with nuances of culture, history, landscape, current events, and the people. We are currently bound with restrictions and are wary to travel due to the lack of ease and safety. However, our travel journey can take place even when we haven't yet left our homes. With so many online resources available, it can be overwhelming and it's only with personal on-location experience that some nuances are discovered. Since I started traveling solo almost over a decade ago, I embarked with #slowtravel and spent two to three weeks in one place before moving on. The goal was always to acquire knowledge of these nuances. Now, here I am sharing this knowledge with you. 💡 The service that I have to offer is over a decade of experience living out of a bag, photographing all over the world, being the managing director of a travel company, and finally moving on to be the founder of @yahnnybly_and_co. 💡 My question to you is this - what's stopping you from laying out your future travel journey in the form of a plan that can take you from home base to your desired location? Let's answer that question together and I can assure you that I can help you get there without wasting time and money. /Yahnny Adolfo San Luis #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #YASLPhotosandStories #worldtravelguide #adventuretravel #travel2021 #travelplanning #letsstaypositive #inspirationoftheday #outdoorspaces #travelinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRRuHShjwo/?igshid=o3utb7v0lxyn

On April 04, 1968, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. took place at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee where he was to lead a nonviolent protest following a strike by black sanitation workers who were protesting terrible working conditions and racist treatment in their job. He was assassinated by James Earl Ray - pronounced dead at the age of 39. MLK led the civil rights movement and championed nonviolent protest to fight segregation and advocated for equality. MLK and President George Washington are the only two Americans to have their birthdays observed as a federal holiday 🇺🇲 In 1983, President Ronald Regan signed a bill that recognized the third Monday in January as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. #YASLPhotosandStories #MLKDay #MartinLutherKingJr #civilrights #equality #blm #nonviolentprotest (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMmsg4BD5Y/?igshid=1wq6u5vjjyimo

All we needed was a fire, hot food and coffee, conversation, and the beautiful forest. Although we are outdoor enthusiasts and love spending time away from crowds, face-to-face interaction can make a world of difference. Most important, however, is responsibility. One of our goals as travel operators is to guide people with their travel goals and unique expectations. Having to fear for one's safety is not supposed to be part of our current reality, but it is. We are fully aware of this. Yet, we aren't going to subject travelers with fear mongering. For 2021, we will be consulting you with a more personal touch for custom-tailored trips, small group travel, and flexible booking conditions that will suit an adventurous yet mindful traveler. We are working on producing new information for you that will ebb and flow with restrictions that can quickly change from month to month. Travel brings us so much more than experiencing new places. It brings us a window into the possibilities that extend beyond our preconceived limitations. We understand a little more about ourselves and about others when we travel. Perhaps, this is why are personally advocating for people to not give up on travel but to keep dreaming and pre-planning for the opening of our boundaries in the not so distant future. ⠀ ⠀ /// #TravelTuesday ///⠀ ⠀ Photos: Erik Wallgren / Yahnny Adolfo San Luis @Yahnny_SanLuis⠀ ⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #RepublicofNomado #StayinSaltywithNomado #YASLPhotosandStories #travel #nature #photography #travelphotography #love #photooftheday #travelgram #beautiful #wanderlust #naturephotography #adventure #travelblogger #landscape #happy #explore #traveling #outsideisfree #adventureoften #adventuretogether #adventureenthusiasts #adventureworld #adventureiscalling #adventurelover #DASLPhotosandStories (at Ågelsjön) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI0yuhNhbdE/?igshid=1qxxpa76qr4z9
