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. Mother Earth has decided […]
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?

Chinese Panda Breeding Centre Is a Ray Of Hope In The Land Of Animal Cruelty.
In 2005, I travelled throughout China, or should I say that I fumed my way throughout the land of the rising sun, on a two-month trip to the country. I’m a traveller who has learnt to live and let live when experiencing other cultures, yet the appalling treatment of animals in China wasn’t something I […]

How The Indian Tsunami Revealed My Connection To Mother Earth.
In 2004, I quit my job, sold my house, and most of my belongings to set off on a one-year adventure. I had a pocketful of money, a one-way ticket to Kathmandu, Nepal, and no firm plans but to travel and wander at will with my partner at the time. My travels took me to […]
How Merging Creativity & Activism Can Bring Awareness To Climate Change.
As a young girl, I was enthralled by the clickety click of my grandma’s knitting needles, as she created a new winter wardrobe of jumpers, hats and scarves, sitting peacefully by the fireside in the evening hours. Like many, I was taught the basics of knit one, cast one, yet never mastered the art myself. […]
