Welcome to the True Travellers Society Daily Podcast for December eleventh, twenty twenty-five! Today, discover how travelers and organizations are shaping a better, more sustainable world—one journey at a time. Later, we’ll reveal an inspiring story about reimagining design and repair, plus practical travel tips with community and conservation at their core.
First up, let’s talk about circular design and responsible travel gear. In Zurich, FREITAG—a pioneer in recycled travel bags—has just opened a new repair kiosk next to its flagship store. Unlike typical repair centers, this kiosk invites travelers to “order” from a repair menu, often getting their bag fixed same day. Each FREITAG bag is made from rescued truck tarps, and in twenty twenty-four alone, nearly ten thousand bags were repaired, keeping them in use and out of landfills. This initiative is bigger than backpacks—FREITAG also offers a bag rental service, exchange platform, and a growing secondhand marketplace. The message?
