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.
related to sustainable travel:
- !trains@midwest.social β open to all train chatter (but note the instance is centered on the midwest USA)
- !rail@feddit.uk β UK Rail and Trains
- !ukpublictransport@feddit.uk β UK public transport
related to travel generally:
- !travel@eviltoast.org β general travel
- !main@lemmy.globe.pub β general travel (this whole instance devoted to travel but note there is an instance-wide no politics rule there)
- !traveltips@feddit.uk β Europe focus
The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and itβs 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.

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 bus is the "Transglobe Expedition" and it's wild - goes through Alaska, crosses the Bering Strait when frozen, then through Siberia and Europe for like $20k and yeah, deinitely a no-go with current Russian politics.
