\"\"It\u2019s 2020 and climate change is a topic that\u2019s almost unavoidable. It\u2019s also one of the most important global topics \u2013 if not the<\/em> most important topic. Many people worldwide try to reduce their carbon emissions where they can, but what about travelling? Travelling is as popular as ever, while at the same time the word \u2018fly shame\u2019 trends in Sweden \u2013 meaning you\u2019re ashamed to fly because of the environmental impact. As we become more socially and culturally aware of the impact of our trips abroad, \u2018responsible travelling\u2019 is becoming more important to us. It\u2019s a step in the right direction, but what does it mean?<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you want to travel, visit different countries, and learn about different cultures and languages, we have some tips for travelling more responsibly.<\/p>\n

Getting there and back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"First of all, you have to determine where you want to go. For language travellers, this will largely be decided by what language you want to learn. Luckily, we have partner schools all over the world and can offer tuition in a variety of locations. It\u2019s safe to say that we have the right place for your travel experience! What\u2019s more, you might not even need to fly there.<\/p>\n

Here are some options for travel by train or bus you can check out if your destination is in Europe:<\/p>\n

Trains<\/em><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a selection of high-speed trains in Europe that connect the capitals and\/or major cities. With these options, you can get to your chosen destination fairly quickly and often cheaply.<\/p>\n

\"\"Eurostar<\/strong>: The Eurostar connects London with Paris using the well-known Channel Tunnel \u2013 but there\u2019s more! There are also stops in Amsterdam and Lille, so it\u2019s not just the standard destinations that are open to you. If you want to go on a French course in Paris or an English Course in London, you have the perfect connection right here. The trip across the Channel takes just over 2 hours, so it\u2019s fast, too!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re studying outside these capitals, you can easily get bus links to your destination (see below).<\/p>\n

ICE (InterCity-Express)<\/strong>: This highspeed train from Germany is perfect for fast travel within the German borders. It also stops in Paris, Vienna, Copenhagen, and Arhus. If you want to do a German course in Austria or Germany, this is your go-to train.<\/p>\n
