In 2017, I spent three months travelling around Morocco, the land of teapots and tagines. For one of those months, I decided to experience “living” in Morocco and stayed in the port city of Tangier. Tangier, the gateway to Africa and beyond, is an incredible city full of history and culture. The main attraction is […]
The Silence Of The Lambs. Why I Finally Turned Vegan.
In 2011, after leaving my legal career and my home in the United Kingdom to move to Spain, I wanted to embrace a more mindful lifestyle. After years of being a workaholic, I wanted to take care of myself and experience a healthier way of living. I was in the right place. My new home […]
I Went Vegan And My Friends No Longer Love Me. Here’s Why
At the beginning of 2019, I switched to a vegan diet. No longer would I consume the produce of innocent animals. It was a long time coming. For the last eight years, I called myself a flexitarian, which was a polite way of saying I tried my best to follow a vegetarian diet. I’d occasionally succumb […]
Rebel: Let’s Walk Like Our Feet Are Kissing The Earth.
We have lived through strange times, huh? The coronavirus set off a chain of events that have changed our world forever. The crisis that we are experiencing on our planet is the biggest wake-up call humanity has ever faced. Mother Earth clapped back against the war humanity has waged against her.

What Our Gardens Should Look Like.
If Mother Earth taught us anything, it’s the need to become more self-sufficient. One of the areas where we can do this is to use our gardens to grow our own food. For me, this isn’t a novel idea. While I grew up in a town, I spent my holidays with my grandma on her […]
Mother Earth: The Cycle Of Life Is Rooted In Nature.
The cycle of life is rooted in nature. From the first buds bursting forth through Mother Earth’s fertile skin in the glorious chaos of spring. As we dance our way into summer, with the sweet scent of jasmine on the heat of the ocean breeze. When the first leaves of fall carpet the world with […]
Ethical Travel: How Slow Can You Go?
In 2004, I set off on what would be my first travelling adventure to wander and wonder at the world we live in. A full year away, travelling on a whim to wherever the wind blew me. No responsibilities, no ties, and definitely no clocks. They say that to travel is the only thing you […]
Ugly Fruit & Veg Are Beautiful, Costs Less And Save Mother Earth
I’ve lived in Spain and Portugal for 11 years. Small, local shops specialising in fruit and veg, and bakeries are still very popular. Most produce tends to be grown in small allotments and gardens within the district, giving locals who grow food a little extra income. People still show loyalty to the little shops on […]
I Don’t Want To Live In A World Without The Wild. Do You?
Back when I was a girl, I lived in a town close to Manchester in the UK. While my school was in an urban area, it was close to a large green space called Tandle Hills. This large patch of wilderness was the perfect antidote to living in a town, giving the residents space to […]
