| Hey all,
We're thrilled that Greta Thunberg has been named Person of the Year. As you all know, we at Matador take our responsibility to the environment seriously, and are always looking for more eco-friendly ways to explore the world.
One way, of course, is to not follow in the footsteps of Instagrammers who travel irresponsibly.
But, more positively, we're excited about riding electric snowmobiles to seek out the Northern Lights. They don't pollute and they zip through the forest silently -- so they don't disturb the wildlife. While "eSleds" can reach 100 km per hour, you'll travel much more slowly on an Arctic safari.
The noiseless vehicles mean you can savor the silence of the far north. You can also appreciate snowy serenity on these US hikes that are better in winter. Hiking is in fact a great way to build up some muscle strength and endurance for ski season, but to really get strong for the slopes start these nine exercises right away.
If you love being outside, but snowfall is not your thing, there's always Hawaii. Maybe you've been to the Hawaiian isles, but we'll wager you've never set foot on Niihau, Hawaii's "Forbidden Island." It's still hard to get close to Niihau, but not impossible – and we tell you how to do it. You could also explore the Rosario Islands, which are easily accessible from Cartagena, Colombia.
And for another peaceful way to see wildlife, ditch the jeep on your big African safari and go on foot. Walking safaris are better for the animals and, like electric snowmobiling, a much more immersive experience for you.
