Lives in Marseille, France
Hi there,
I am Sivan, a vegan & imperfect sustainable traveller. I like to visit off the tourist trail destinations, or if I do visit more popular destinations I like to do so as responsibly & sustainably as possible.
I grew up in the Netherlands, lived in the UK for 16 years, and have lived in Marseille, France, for the last 4 years. I’ve also travelled to around 50 countries all around the world, and have meticulously planned all of them myself. Trip planning, is something I enjoy doing for myself, as well as for my family and friends, and is something I pride myself in. I do hours and hours of research making sure I find the best locally owned accomodation and immersive cultural experiences, to ensure I leave as much of a positive impact on my travels as I can.
I mostly travel solo & once I get to my destination, I rely on public transport and overland travel as opposed to flying, where possible. Learning about the local culture & supporting local economies is important to me so I try and stay at either locally-owned guesthouses, homestays, or sustainable boutique hotels, and avoid big chain hotels or Airbnb. I also love looking for local vegan food wherever I go.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, make sure to follow along on Instagram @sivan_travelsgreen, and check out my detailed sustainable & vegan-friendly guides and itineraries here on Thatch, with a focus on ways in which you can support the local community of the places you’re travelling to. All the places mentioned in my guide, are places I have been to before, and all the itineraries I've tried and tested myself.
If you need something more personalised/any tips or advice on a specific location, then we can get on a consultation call to see what I can do for you!
