Timeline
The main purpose of timelines is to display a series of actions within a particular time interval. Timelines can cover a bigger time period, they should not be very detailed. Howbeit, it is possible to add images, data, or figures.
After the trip
+This course offers a chance to go through earlier trips and how our behaviour could be more sustainable (also in everyday life)
+Some weeks after coming home I decided to visit the same places again with more time
-We did not reflect our choices to our knowledge of sustainability and responsibility
It is possible for tourists to make a change with small effort
Most of the trips have been as cheap as possible, since spending money has been associated with wasting and unsustainability in my mind
The first course on tourism business made me think about my trips and my choices
-We did not think about the trip for a long time
Memorising focused on our experiences and what we gained
I was not especially interested to follow news that related to the places where we travelled
And when we did, we didn't think about the locals or our impact on local economies
Eating

-The buffet was a possible source of waste as they usually are
