Travel Services

Gentle Living has a travel department called Your Time Travels (YTT). YTT plans premium trips for discerning travelers with a focus on the respect for and celebration of animals. We believe in using tourism as a tool for animal welfare. In addition to the trips we offer below, we provide many helpful resources in our travel articles.  All of our trips are customized to suit your preferences.

We offer these travel services because we want you to have the opportunity to learn more about and/or work to help the beautiful creatures that encompass our earth through travel and we know that not all travel companies have animal’s best interests at heart.

Tourism can be a powerful tool for animal welfare but it can also be an enemy. We understand how important animal welfare is to you and we want to provide you with trips abroad that honor that compassion.

Why is our travel branch called Your Time Travels? Because our trips are about traveling with respect and compassion for all living things and that compassionate spirit pays-it-forward to others (human and animal alike). Your time travels forward to help others.
