Clumsy Girl Travels Mission Statement
Clumsy Girl Travels Core Values
Go off the beaten path
I encourage my readers to explore the unique and offbeat side of a destination. There is so much more to discover than “the top 10 things to do in [insert destination]” I go beyond that and share the real and local side of the places I visit.
Experience the Local Culture
Cultural immersion is such an important part of traveling. It allows us to understand the world and how people live in it. On my blog I share with my readers the importance of cultural immersion and as travelers how we can benefit from learning and understanding different cultures.
After all, the locals are the ones who know their city best, so it makes sense to learn from them.
Support the Local Economy
As travelers it is our duty when visiting a destination to support the locals who live there. I encourage my readers to find activities and tours that help the local economy whether that’s taking a local cooking class by a nonna that has lived in her tiny Italian village for 80+ years or attending a festival that celebrates a local holiday. I believe that traveling should benefit the locals just as much as us travelers.
Take Risks
You know that saying if you obey all the rules you miss al the fun? Well, I like to change “if you obey all the rules” to “if you don’t take risks.” Travel isn’t about staying in your comfort zone. It’s about having new experiences and doing things you wouldn’t normally feel comfortable doing at home. It can be something as small as eating at a restaurant alone or something extreme like skydiving.
“Taking risks” can mean different things to different people and I help people discover what their meaning is.
Travel Slow
There is so much beauty in taking your time and here at Clumsy Girl Travels we put an emphasis on slow travel. My readers prefer getting to know a single destination rather than exploring multiple destinations within a short amount of time. It’s less stressful and allows more time to get to know a place in-depth.
No Stress Travel Planning
There is no denying that travel planning is stressful and as a travel blogger it is my duty to make the travel planning process as easy as possible. My in-depth and evergreen posts have helped countless people plan their perfect trips and they continue to help more and more people everyday.
