You could claim that “Indiana” is basically synonymous with “farming” and I wouldn’t really debate you. Of course, there is so much more to this state than just farms, but as a born and raised Hoosier* I can assure you there are an abundance of farms to choose from which you literally cannot miss if […]
Say It With Your Socks: A Conscious Step Brand Review
I try to buy most of my clothes used these days, but with some exceptions for items I plan to wear for a while, or things I prefer firsthand (socks and underwear). When I do purchase clothes “firsthand”, I try to find brands that are eco-friendly, fair trade, or otherwise supporting a cause I love. […]
Why Raw Elements Sunscreen is a Must Buy: A Plastic-free Product Review
Sunscreen is a part of my daily skincare routine *when I’m on my game*. When I began transitioning to plastic-free beauty products and worked through all my old sunscreens, I struggled a bit finding a good alternative – a sunscreen that was plastic free, reef-safe, and that actually worked.

The Sinking Ship: A Must Try Vegan Food Restaurant in Indianapolis
Since I’ve adopted a plant-based diet, I’ve learned that most restaurants are either geared toward vegans 100%, or not at all. When restaurants serving primarily meat-based dishes do offer vegan options, there are usually only a handful to choose from and sometimes it feels like an afterthought. That’s why I am so excited about The […]
ReDo Backpackers Hostel and Pub: A Top Choice In South Korea For Sustainable Travelers
I found out about the ReDo Backpackers Hostel and Pub through Workaway when I was looking for a cool opportunity to spend a couple weeks in South Korea.

Globalhagen Hostel: A Top Choice in Copenhagen for Sustainable Travelers
I recently visited Copenhagen in Denmark and spent 3 nights in the Globalhagen Hostel. Although I wasn’t aware when I booked my bunk in their dorm room, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a non-profit, volunteer-run hostel with a focus on sustainability and giving back to communities world-wide!

My Favorite Eco-Friendly Leggings: A Girlfriend Collective Product Review
For most of the past five-ish years I have been wearing my Girlfriend Collective travel leggings on a near daily basis. No, travel isn’t “officially” in the title, but I’ve decided these eco-friendly leggings are an essential in my travel wardrobe and that I like to refer to them as such. For most of high […]
The Residence Les Ecrins: A Review
When I’m travelling, I typically stay in hostel dorm rooms because it’s generally less expensive. This time in Belgium though, we sprung for something a little different and loved it! Hostels can be great places to meet other travelers which can be a big priority, especially when travelling alone. However, there are certainly less enjoyable aspects […]
