Low Tox, Eco-friendly Travel

A very important part of our plans to full time travel is to be conscious of our footprint on this earth. To protect not only ourselves from harmful toxins but also the environment - which we will be using to the fullest! And that mean so much more than buying a keepCup and owning an Earth Bottle!

Thanks to the wonderful amazing blog by Alexx Stuart - https://www.lowtoxlife.com - we have been slowly slowly (because its expensive y'all) replacing things in our household which are toxic to us, or to the environment, and choosing more sustainable, eco-friendly products. The biggest thing we've learnt on this journey is that old adage is so true - 'convenience kills'. Whether its us or our planet, our convenient western creature comforts are very destructive.

For instance, you know those life-saving non-stick fry pans and teflon pots? The ones you don't have to spend an age soaking and scrubbing? Not so life-saving actually, in fact incredibly toxic and harmful, we are literally poisoning our food as we are cooking it.....so scary!

So instead we have opted for stainless steel (nickel free) pots and a ceramic frying pan. The best stuff to cook your food in is with one of these or cast iron, but when you're living life on the road with weight restrictions, cast iron is just not an option!

Next up was some bathroom supplies! No more washing in chemicals and sending them down the drain into our oceans! Now we shower with Ethique all natural soap bars, they have body wash, shampoo and even conditioner, and Ive got to tell you, my hair and skin

A small selection of our more sustainable / eco-friendly choices. Including, toothbrushes, wash cloths, beeswax food wraps, bamboo utensils and tox-free sunblock.

has never felt more amazing!

We've also replaced our throw away dish cloths and scrubbers, for more eco friendly cotton washable cloths and compostable scrub pads!

These are just a few (of many) ways we have changed our buying habits to reflect a more sustainable, eco-friendly and most important, tox-free life on the road.

About

Hi, we are Oliver, Joanna, Jameson and Evelyn. As a family we have always had a passion for travel. Like most wanderlusting families we would work hard for 10 months of the year to go adventuring for the other 1-2 months. In 2017 / 2018 all that changed when we suddenly had a desire to stick it to the man and break free from the confines of the busy life we had constructed for ourselves. We started to feel like we were wasting our kids early years, working and schooling, and generally being away from each other for the majority of our time. So came the hard decision to close our business, sell our house and most of our belongings. We are now officially living in a caravan, living, learning and loving on the road.
