The results from the election are disheartening. But in order to have hope we must make change. And that change needs to start in our homes, our workplaces and our local communities. Perhaps the [...]
I’ve never lived so in tune with the seasons as I do now. We’re much more vulnerable in the van – so much closer to the elements. Every gust of wind, every downpour, every sweltering day [...]
I’m always intrigued by other people’s travel budgets and in the lead up to our trip I looked up as many as I could find in the name of research. How we can afford to travel and live is a [...]

Earlier today I shared a few resolutions on instagram; a list of ten things that I want to practise this year inspired by Organic Care’s #realresolutions campaign. Instead of writing down [...]
