The consensus on the question I posted before seems to be that it's okay to encourage travel, but that we need to encourage traveling BETTER, whether that means encouraging choosing trains over planes, taking longer trips, seeing things in a different way, etc.
My question now is HOW? How do I as a content creator do that? I mean, just lecturing people about sustainability or whatever isn't going to help. I'd love some PRACTICAL ideas on how to encourage better travel.
So far I'm trying - not always succeeding - to avoid writing about the places that are very popular and instead focusing on lesser-traveled places. I'm avoiding big general listicles and instead trying to write about much narrower topics. As much as possible, I'm traveling by train or bus rather than plane and that'll come through when I write about a place. Any other suggestions?

I’m looking for unique experience in Israel for a family trip in February 2023.
We will be all over from the Golan to Eilat. I’d love ideas of unique places to visit, restaurants (I love a good hole in the wall), etc.
We’re staying at Abraham Hostels (I see you guys are on here - hi!) in Jerusalem, Eilat & Tel Aviv. Still trying to figure out the north leg of our trip.
I’ll be writing a blog post based on an off the beaten path family friendly trip at themintchipmama.com
Can’t wait to hear your ideas and suggestions.
My absolute favorite adventure in Israel was renting bikes in Tiberius and cycling alongside the Sea of Galilee. It's an absolutely beautiful area with fun stops for beaches/views as well as history.
Sounds amazing! Thanks
Depending on your timing, you could spend a few days on an archaeology dig in Timna to help excavate the ancient remnants of King Solomon's Mine. Check out the details at www.ancientodysseys.com/timna We have lots of other paleontology and archaeology digs around the world that are family friendly too.
