  • BEING A RESPECTFUL TOURIST 🌎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A reminder from me to you... Take the time to learn about other cultures WITHOUT putting your views into the mix. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Open your mind, remove your ideologies and strip it right back to the core. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even if it makes you uncomfortable, even if it’s totally different to everything you’ve been taught in the past, and ESPECIALLY if there are aspects that you don’t necessarily agree with... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In order to connect, you need to understand. Listen, learn and ALWAYS be kind. Diversity is the most beautiful thing, you just need to open your heart to see it ♥️
  • Animals will teach you one BIG valuable lesson: LIVE IN THE PRESENT! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From climate change to my personal life, overthinking is basically my middle name... But observing animals encourages me to throw all of that away 🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They don’t dwell on the past or fret about the future, they just live simply and deeply in the present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes I think so hard about life that I forget to live it... But hey, I’m working on it, and I hope you will too ♥️
  • IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE WE NEED ALL SPECIES TO THRIVE 🌎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @allconsidered shared a beautiful quote today that goes something like this - “Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife, are in fact plans to protect man” 🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are ALL connected; the birds, the bees, the flowers and the trees (😜)... And human kind too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each species plays an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, and if we don’t have that, nature itself will crumble. So remember, if YOU want to survive, we need all species to THRIVE 🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS. You guys know how much I love #wildlifephotography... And I think this might be one of my favourite photos yet ♥️
  • HERE’S WHAT I LEARNT LAST WEEK: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💤 I do not function well on little sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥️ My FAVOURITE thing about social media is being able to maintain human connection from opposite sides of the planet... Life is beautiful! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦷 Leeches have 300 teeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌲 City life will NEVER be for me; I’m my best self when I’m surrounded by nature. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🛳 One cruise ship produces as much pollution as an entire city - and your carbon footprint triples as soon as you step foot on one... (Thank you for sharing @hazaarthebazaar!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌎 It would take 1.75 Earths to sustainably meet the current demands of humanity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 Sustainability will never be sustainable unless it comes with holistic thinking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐟 Some fish eggs can hatch AFTER being digested by a swan. Then they get pooped out alive... 💩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥰 It takes strength to be kind and gentle in a world that pressures you to be ‘tough’. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did YOU learn last week? Learnings inspired by @ethicallykate as always! 💫
  • Sustainability is a big part of my life, but recently I haven’t had the urge to share it... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m still an activist, I’m still being kind to the planet, I’m still participating in #plasticfreejuly, I’m still aligning my actions with my beliefs... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I’m just not constantly posting it on social media, and it feels pretty fab ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have no doubt that my love of sharing my knowledge will come back soon, but right now I’m enjoying living in the present, planning amazing adventures, focusing on myself and human connection, being an activist behind closed doors, and sharing when I want to... NOT because I feel like I have to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you ever have this urge, please listen to it! Put your phone down, follow your heart... In this digital world where we share so much, there’s so much beauty in having moments that only YOU experience! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Enjoy it friends, life is even more beautiful when you look beyond the screen 🥰
  • YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT 💭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Your diet is not only what you eat. It’s what you watch, what you listen to, what you read, the people you hang around. Be mindful of the things you put in your body, emotionally, physically and spiritually” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A message from me to you friends... Be conscious of what you consume! Surround yourself with people that make you feel good and do things that make you feel alive 🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Change your ‘diet’ and you’ll change your life. Remember that ♥️
  • I went to Nepal with one mindset, and returned home with another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel DEEPLY, and sometimes things hit me when I least expected it. Before I went to Nepal I thought I was clear on what I wanted out of life, but now I’ve learnt that you can really never be certain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things change and life throws curve balls, but there’s one thing I know for sure... The mountains are calling 🏔♥️
  • IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My heart is filled with so much love and gratitude at the moment; for dreamy sunsets, for new friends, for new adventures, and for this beautiful Earth I’m so lucky to call home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life seriously is so beautiful, and I don’t think enough people take the time to recognize it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So today (and everyday), I want you to stop and think about what you’re grateful for... We’re wandering around on a spinning planet, sharing it with so many different species and being treated to countless magical moments. My list is endless ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go outside, feel the earth between your toes, feel the sun on your skin, connect with new people, smile, embrace the present moment... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s the little things in life that are often the most beautiful 🥰
  • A HAPPY RHINO STORY 🦏♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we talk about Rhino’s and conservation, generally the tone is very bleak; 3 species across Africa and Asia are critically endangered and things sadly aren’t looking good... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here in Nepal there’s a happy story to tell - YAY!🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By the end of the 20th century, Greater One-Horned Rhinos were hunted to the brink of extinction with less than 200 remaining... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But now, thanks to amazing conservation efforts and anti-poaching programs, there are more than 3500 individual rhinos across India and Nepal, and Chitwan National Park is home to 600 of them! 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wildlife conservation is incredibly complex, and so often we hear of wildlife species drastically decreasing in population... But there’s still hope! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There ARE amazing things happening, and this success story is proof of just that 🇳🇵
  • Namaste Nepal ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have spent the last couple of weeks disconnecting, rejuvenating, and exploring beautiful Nepal, and aside from a lot of self reflection and learnings, I discovered one very big, very valuable thing: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + Regardless of culture, religion or location in the world, our similarities as human beings are SO much greater than our differences. This particular trip has shown me the sheer beauty in kindness, conversation, and human connection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As @boss.studio always says, “life is beautiful” - and it’s as simple as that 🌞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve come away from this country with a very full heart... Namaste Nepal 🙏🏼 I’ll be back one day, I know it 🇳🇵
  • HERE’S WHAT I LEARNT LAST WEEK: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏔 Mountains cover 1/5 of the Earth’s land surface. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍌 Tattooing fruits and vegetables instead of using plastic stickers is the FUTURE of labelling! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌎 #climateanxiety has become so prevalent that there is now a 69-page climate change guide to help mental health care providers assist their clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦃 Turkey’s frequently produce offspring without having sex... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥔 @propercrisps have compostable chip packets - REVOLUTIONARY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♥️ Leaving my partner and my furry friends is an aspect of traveling that I hate... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did YOU learn last week? Learnings inspired by @ethicallykate 💫
  • If you want to be an activist and fight the good fight, the very first thing you should focus on... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IS YOURSELF! 🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it really is so important. Regardless of the message you’re trying to spread, know that it will never thrive unless you’re personally thriving too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go outside, read a book, sleep in, disconnect to reconnect, find balance, spend time doing things you love... Whatever it might be, give yourself the time and energy to be the best version of you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m looking forward to having some much needed disconnect time next week, and I KNOW I’ll come back with a clearer mind, a stronger message, and hopefully a bigger smile 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, some advice from me to you... GIVE YOURSELF SOME LOVE! You’ll be a better activist because of it, trust me ♥️
