Travel healthy



Besides looking amazing, Jerome is modeling compression stockings - these are an easy way to travel in good health. The risk of swollen legs and blood clots increase when you fly, especially for those with predispositions like lymphedema. You can get these at most pharmacies and even find colorful ones online.

Croatia - Saving the best for last

Image
After five and a half weeks on the road we landed in Croatia, the final destination of our European adventure. It's hard to compare any of the locations we visited because they all had different attributes that made them unique but Croatia might be our favorite. One of the attractions that helped sway our vote was Plitvice National Park. It is a popular tourist destination for a reason; crystal clear waters teaming with fish, waterfalls rushing from over cliffs from one lake to the next, and a ferry boat ride that lets you glide across an enchanting lake. Pictures don't do it justice but we will try to share the breathtaking awe of this beautiful park. After walking through that you will definitely work up an appetite and there is no better place to eat than Croatia. The local food is amazing and there is such a wide variety in style depending on your location. Seafood is the star anywhere along the coast and "under the bell" is a popu

Permaculture tips: hugelkultur and swales

Let's talk about swales, this amazing new thing that's been around for thousands of years. The basic principle is to create mounds of soil to hold moisture and prevent water run off and erosion. Even if you completed your understanding of swales with the structural benefits it would still be wise to apply the concept to your farm or garden, but there is so much more. Placing swales will also improve the nutrient quality of your soil. This occurs because it prevents water from washing nutrients away durimg heavy rains and because the contents within the swale decay slowly over time, creating amazing compost. During our farmer interview, Ton Kodden at Domaine Les Gonies, tells us how he has implemented two swales using the Eastern European hugelkultur technique. Often, a trench is dug and filled with compost material, then covered with dirt from a new trench just uphill from it, but the ground in south France is very rocky, preventing deep digging without excess effort or ma

To WWOOF or not to WWOOF? It's not even a question.

Have you ever wanted to visit a foreign country, at low cost, stay in a safe place, with good food, awesome people, and real cultural immersion? For all of you who said yes, WWOOFing is for you. But what is it? WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms- each country words it slightly different) is a volunteer program that connects volunteers with organic farms all over the world. You work on average 30 hours a week doing tasks based on what the farm needs and in return they give you room and board. Did we mention this is free. Many volunteer organizations ask you to pay then upwards of $1,000 to work for them. Um excuse us? Why would you want to pay money to work? The only cost with WWOOF is an annual membership fee which per country and is on average $25. The only thing you have left to pay during your workcation is the travel expenses to get there. Are you getting excited yet? This was all it took for us to sign up as a WWOOFers. After 1 month on a farm in France we aren&#
