Last year, I spent three months living a completely different lifestyle. From staying in a rural village for nine days to trekking at 15,000ft for weeks, what immersing myself in these customs and practices made me realize is that culture and climate change are far more interconnected than I’d ever considered. In this article, I explore 10 things I learnt from living out of my backpack in Nepal for 85 days.
The act of hopping on a plane and going across countries is largely detrimental towards the environment. I fail to see an immediate way to cut out high-carbon travelling right now, but what I believe we can do in the meantime, is make lifestyle changes to reduce this colossal impact. Over the months, I have acquired some tokens of advice on how we may lower our impact while travelling, which I’ve listed out in this post.
After spending three months living in various regions, I couldn’t help but observe the different ways in which environmental matters manifest themselves in Nepal. In this post, I discuss my reflections on the differences between Nepal and Hong Kong and how this has reshaped my perception of the term sustainability.
This post covers six (very aesthetic) locations I visited in Koh Samui that served some of the most delicious vegan food. From the regular pad thai without eggs to quinoa patty burgers and mango papaya smoothie bowls, you can expect to find something here for everyone.
Last Summer, I visited Bali and had the opportunity to try many of their wonderful vegan restaurants. Listed in this post are six of my favourites and the specific dishes I enjoyed. Bali is one of the best places to eat vegan food, so I hope that this post helps to narrow down the abundance of options.
Shilin night market is one of Taipei’s most popular tourist destinations. What people don’t realize is that they have a whole range of vegan options on sale too!
Taipei is famous for its night markets that sell food ranging from frog legs to tofu. However, many of these stalls sell their snacks in disposable containers that can end up being extremely wasteful. Find out how I managed to enjoy this food without contributing to this waste!
I went to Taipei for a short family vacation over the Summer, and I had the chance to eat many traditional foods that also happened to be vegan. Here is a taster of the type of food I ate on the first day.
