Have you ever sprinted for the elevator, only to have a kind stranger hold the door for you? Ever been short a few dollars and had someone save you with their spare change? Or maybe you remember a time when someone simply smiled at you on the street? These are the random acts of kindness that lift our whole mood and make us remember there is kindness all around. To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day on 17 February, why not pay it forward the next time you travel? You\u2019ll bring smiles and feel-good vibes everywhere you go. From taking someone\u2019s photo, to helping someone with their luggage, or reassuring parents on a plane, here are 27 random acts of kindness you can do on your next Trafalgar trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Carry out an act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.<\/em><\/p>\nDiana, Princess of Wales<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

1. Give away your spare change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever been caught out just a few dollars short? Whether it\u2019s at the laundromat, or at the vending machine – if you see someone struggling for cash, be the first to offer your spare change! If you\u2019re feeling extra kind, you could even leave some coins at the laundromat or vending machine for the next person. They\u2019ll feel like it\u2019s their lucky day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Donate supplies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pack something extra to donate on your trip. You could donate clothes you no longer need to second-hand shops, old towels and bedding to animal shelters, or books and writing supplies to schools and orphanages. You can talk to our friendly team about donating supplies at some of our Make Travel Matter experiences, like our visit to the Shangilia Children’s Home<\/a>, a centre for street and orphaned children in Nairobi, Kenya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tip generously and thank your servers and staff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you travel with Trafalgar, you\u2019re sure to meet dozens of fantastic servers and staff members from hotels, restaurant staff, and customer service staff, to cleaning crew, travel directors and drivers. Be sure to thank them for their hard work and tip generously!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take someone\u2019s photo for them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all seen the couples struggling to snap a nice photo, or the families who have to choose one person to not be in the photo so they can take the picture, or the solo traveller relying on selfies. Next time you see someone struggling to take a pic, offer to take it for them. They\u2019ll treasure those photos forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Learn people\u2019s names<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering how to be kind for free, learning names is so easy and makes people feel noticed and appreciated. From your driver and Travel Director to your fellow travellers, or the people you meet along the way, everyone will appreciate this random act of kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Pick up litter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to walk past rubbish on a beach or a forest trail and think it\u2019s not your problem. But sparing a moment to pick up litter is one of the best random acts of kindness you can do for the earth, the community, and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Keep a spare umbrella around<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When travelling, it\u2019s always kind to bring something extra – whether it\u2019s an umbrella, rain poncho, hat, sunscreen, or bandaids – and freely lend them out to anyone who needs it on the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Think before you speak<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travelling will open your eyes to a whole world of different beliefs and customs. If you find yourself disagreeing with someone about something, take a few moments to pause, breathe and think before responding. This will help calm the situation and prevent you from saying something hurtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Fold someone\u2019s clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever opened up a dryer to put your wet laundry in there and found clothes already in there? Next time, don\u2019t just throw them in a bunch on top of the dryer. Take a moment to do a random act of kindness and neatly fold them for the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Help others with their luggage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you see someone struggling with their luggage, offer to help! They\u2019re sure to be very grateful and you might even make a new friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Choose a Trafalgar trip with a Make Travel Matter Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trafalgar\u2019s Make Travel Matter (MTM) Experiences<\/a> are conscious travel experiences available on almost all of Trafalgar\u2019s land tours. Our MTM Experiences are carefully chosen to encourage the greatest social or environmental benefit for the communities they visit. From visiting the rhinos at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya to meeting the talented women of Iraq Al-Amir in Jordan, you can be assured that your MTM experience is having a positive impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Reassure a parent on a plane<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one likes listening to a screaming baby on an airplane. But babies are usually crying because their ears are in pain from the changing air pressure. Remember, every parent is doing their best and are probably already stressed and frazzled\u2026 They don\u2019t need extra judgement from strangers. So next time it happens, tell them they\u2019re doing a great job. It\u2019ll mean a lot to them and they might even be able to relax (which helps baby relax too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Help someone less fortunate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone can afford to go on holiday, and next time you travel, you\u2019ll probably run into someone having it tough. Take some time to offer them a meal or some cash, or even just have a chat. A little kindness goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Buy and eat local<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can support local businesses when you travel by purchasing locally made crafts and locally grown produce. Support the farmer\u2019s markets, the craft stalls, and the little neighbourhood cafes and restaurants. You\u2019ll really get to the heart of your destination and you\u2019ll help small businesses keep running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Learn a few phrases in your destination\u2019s language<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s such a little random act of kindness, but when you take the time to learn and speak someone\u2019s language, it\u2019s highly appreciated. You\u2019ll also find it easier to connect with the locals. Start with the basics like ‘hello’, ‘please’, ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’, then work your way up to some phrases like \u201cHow are you?\u201d and \u201cHave a wonderful day\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Offer the benefit of the doubt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always assume that people mean the best until you are shown otherwise. Don\u2019t be cynical – practice empathy on your travels and give the gift of the benefit of the doubt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Clean up after yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Restaurant and hotel staff are often overworked and underappreciated. Next time, clear your own table at the restaurant or cafe. You could even leave a note of thanks for the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trafalgar<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

18. Give feedback and reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you have a fantastic tour guide? Did you love your hotel or visit an excellent restaurant? Why not share your experience and leave an online review. Online reviews are so important to many businesses and taking a few minutes out of your day to send a message of praise will be highly appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Plant a tree<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some random acts of kindness are good for you, good for the environment, and good for future generations. When you travel with Trafalgar, we have several Make Travel Matter experiences where you can get involved in conservation and tree planting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cairns, Australia, you can take part in the Rainforest Restoration project and help plant trees to restore the rainforest to its former glory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Tell your best travel tips to others<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you meet other travellers, don\u2019t keep all your travel secrets to yourself. Let them know about that great little restaurant you stumbled upon or that hidden beach with the amazing sunset. You\u2019ll probably get some great tips in return too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Listen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most subtle, but impactful random acts of kindness is to actively listen. Whenever you\u2019re speaking to someone on your Trafalgar trip, extend them the courtesy of truly listening without letting your mind wander. You can also do your best to make sure people feel included in group conversations. It could mean more to someone than you know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. Share your photos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you take great photos, why not send your best ones to an organisation such as a national park so they can use them on their website or social media pages. It\u2019s a great way for them to promote themselves to future travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. Pay it forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next time you\u2019re travelling, pay for the lunch or coffee of the person standing behind you in line. It doesn\u2019t have to cost much but you\u2019ll surely make their day. It\u2019s nice to know there are kind strangers out there doing random acts of kindness\u2026 And who knows, someone might pay it forward to you one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. Hold the elevator door open for someone <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some random acts of kindness only take a few extra seconds and this is one of them. Holding a door open for someone could really help them if they’re in a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. Buy a round<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hitting the town with your new travel friends? Why not buy a round of drinks? It\u2019ll put everyone in a good mood and it might inspire someone to do something kind for someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. Talk to the person travelling alone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you sit down with them for a chat or invite them to dinner, it\u2019s always kind to talk to someone who\u2019s on their own. They\u2019ll really appreciate you making the effort to start a conversation. Sharing random acts of kindness is also a great way to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27. Be kind to yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your random acts of kindness should not only extend to others. It is also important to show kindness to yourself. Learn to practice some good self-care habits<\/a> for your own sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
