Why do we need water?
You have probably heard it a million times: "Don't forget to drink!" or "You need to drink more!" Have you ever been to a doctor and have them look at your skin and tell you how much more you need to drink? That is because water is essential to our lives. But if you are anything like myself, you might be aware of how important water is to our health but were never really told how much of an impact water really has? Read on to learn more

The solution to our drinking water
We have talked a lot about the problems with our drinking water. We got into the quality of our tap water and talked about why drinking water out of plastic bottles is not the solution either. And if you are anything like me, when I first started learning about all this (and still do), my first reaction was: "Well thanks, what am I supposed to drink now?!" So let's talk about the different things you can do in order to drink good, clean, healthy and quality water.

How bad is our tap water?
It is important to understand where our water actually comes from. We don't really think about it too much because water is all around us. It's in our oceans, lakes and streams. But how much of the world's water is actually drinking water? And the answer will shock you!

Mindful hiking
In our world today, there is an excellent chance you are addicted to technology. Trust me, I was too. Lucky for us, there is a solution to this, a way out.

Pacific Crest Trail - Resupply strategy Part 2
This is part 2 of my resupply guide for the PCT. We are about to finish the state of California and head into Oregon and Washington.

Pacific Crest Trail - Resupply strategy Part 1
I think the most overwhelming thing, other than walking for 5 months non-stop, is the question of what do I eat, and where do I get food? Especially if this is your first time in the US it can be really overwhelming. How many days should we carry food? How much food do we need? How do I get into town? Should I send packages? There are so many questions and so many ways of doing this.

New Zealand
When I left for New Zealand, I had no idea what to expect. I wanted to fly over from Australia because it was cheaper than flying home first and then coming back, and it was a new country to visit.
