(2025·江苏苏州阶段考)My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn't know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance，a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.

We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world，but we tried our luck，sent a request，and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada，so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.

Inspired by a Canadian couple，we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about The Virgin Islands，highlighting the beautiful beaches.However，for every photo album of a beautiful beach，there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾).It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue，especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So，we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.

The more we looked into plastic pollution，the more we realized the severity of the global

plastic pollution.From that point，we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines，our way of living，and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.

It's been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places，working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.

Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It's been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have guessed?
