Who owns the sky?
No one. Everyone.
International aviation burns through the carbon budget, yet no one takes responsibility. Its emissions slip through the cracks of the Paris Agreement, left to ICAO, an organization with no real power to cut them. The result? Half-measures like CORSIA, a system built on the illusion that we can keep growing, as long as we offset a little.

The question isn’t who owns the sky. The question is who takes responsibility for it.
DeepSeek: An AI Shift That Could Transform Travel?
The AI game just shifted. DeepSeek didn’t just show up, it disrupted. Cutting-edge tech at a fraction of the cost, shaking giants and opening doors for everyone else. Stocks tumbled, markets reeled, and travel companies caught a glimpse of something bigger.
Here’s the twist: cheaper AI doesn’t just mean smaller players can dream, it means the whole game changes. It’s not just about cost, ethics, geopolitics, or resources. It’s about possibility. Will AI become the ultimate travel companion, bypassing middlemen? Or will it redefine how we journey, connect, and explore?
The rules are gone. The winners? As often, those bold enough to embrace what’s coming, instead of clinging to what was.
Why I never buy carbon offset.
Before you start reading, here's the content summarized in two sentences:
It is well documented that it doesn't work, and in many cases, it leads to more emissions. Trying to buy oneself out of the problem also diverts focus from what really matters: actually cutting emissions.
How can travel contribute to achieving UN’s sustainability goals?

This article doesn’t aim to give definitive answers but rather to encourage reflection and inspire more sustainable practices. It may also offer some perspectives on the broader role tourism plays around the world.
