Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

"[We] couldn't tell the difference between France and [Quebec]"

Say that to a Quebecois. I dare you.

lol, it's more a statement about us (and I'd guess the average US resident) than about them.

Aww, see, here I was hoping for "and then we got on a tramp steamer..." :)

Glad you had fun in Canada though! I'd probably do the New Orleans side of things.

I definitely preferred Montreal to New Orleans. Felt far more European (like having a decent Metro).

Videos are too heavy for my connection, but I take it from the comments that this is really about reaching franophones on the continent. Lousiana supposedly has some French speaking parts.

Anyway, just wanted to mention there is a bus that goes from London to New York, the long way around via Russia. Takes a month IIRC. But I guess traversing Russia would be a show stopper for many.

That is kinda funny that the solarpunks are riding a too high horse to link to a lemmy.world hosted community but run and post your youtube channel.

Anyway, good to finally something personal being posted here. I assume it is your original content on there? Wish you a nice time in Quebec.

Not sure exactly what the lemmy.world thing means, but yes this was me and my partner! Quebec was great!

Not sure exactly what the lemmy.world thing means

I was just thinking of your co-moderator's rant against places of opression who are not part of the free world (like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, programming.dev... lol)

Oh yeah, that's a bit too intense for me. I'm just trying to get the word out wherever I can lol.
