We're now in Cambodia, practicing some slow travel and staying in Siem Reap for a month! It's nice to have some time to establish a routine and not feel rushed to see a 100 different things a day to pack it all in. Plus, slow travel is more sustainable! 

Just checking in to say hello from Thailand

We are about to embark on a multi-day motorbike trip in northern Thailand - so stay tuned for some video! 

Check out our new series "Sustainable Nations: Through the Eyes of a Traveller" 

In each country we visit, I make observations about the sustainable practices in different categories, such as green transportation and waste management. 

We begin the journey in Japan and the first 2 episodes are out now! 

New episodes will come out every Friday - make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any! 

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to drop in here to tell you a little bit about myself and Successfully Sustainable.

As a child I spent a LOT of time outdoors. My grandparents owned a cottage in Northwestern Ontario, where I spent most of my summers exploring the woods, swimming, picking berries, and playing with my many cousins. My love affair with Mother Nature began early.

In my teens and early twenties, my time was focused more on school, sports, and social life aspects. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education and establishing my career, my passion for the outdoors was rekindled. Now, almost all of my free time is spent outdoors – running, hiking, cycling, trail-running, camping, kayaking – you name it, I’ll try it!

I also hold an insatiable need to adventure and explore this beautiful planet, leading me to have visited over eighty countries so far. I truly believe that meeting locals, and learning about other cultures, practices and languages leads to a deep respect and love for all people of our world.

This appreciation of our planet and its people has led me to investigate how to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. Through minimalism, energy and waste reduction, water conservation and other sustainability practices, I am learning and challenging myself to become the most successfully sustainable I can be!

Part of this challenge is to encourage and help others become more sustainable in an easy to implement, clear and non-judgemental way. I hope to do this with the help of this YouTube channel, associated website, and Instagram account. 

As I now live nomadically with my partner, Kyle, a lot of the content here will be focused on Sustainable Travel and Recreation, with some general low-impact and zero-waste lifestyle stuff thrown in.

Join me in my journey to inspire others to take small actions together to make big differences!


Sustainably Yours,


Julie
