Studying abroad has many benefits for personal and academic growth, but it is important to reflect on how traveling and the choices we make abroad impact host communities. Being a responsible or ethical traveler involves treating sacred spaces, places, events, customs, and ceremonies with respect, being aware of your economic power in supporting local businesses and systems, and minimizing your ecological and community impact as a traveler, among many other practices.
The following resources may help you consider the implications of your presence in communities abroad and enable you to make choices that promote the sustainability and security of your host country.
