Holidaying in a pandemic: A short adventure in Morocco

Day One We arrive to warmer weather than we anticipated (32degC) and I immediately create havoc outside the airport in Marrakech, refusing to pay 200 Dirhams (20 Euros) for the three mile taxi ride into town. This is eventually reduced to 100 but it's too late, I've spied the bus. The driver appears and starts the engine. Just us and one other passenger. He assures us he's … [Read more...] about Holidaying in a pandemic: A short adventure in Morocco

Amazing free things to do on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales

On our recent trip to the Isle of Anglesey, or Ynys Môn in Welsh, we were amazed by the number of well preserved ancient historical sites, some dating back thousands of years.

Wanderlust: Should you leave your job to travel?

Tom and I want different things. At least, that’s how our stories currently play out. And it’s fine; relationships are built on compromise and negotiation. Tom loves his job, and he also appreciates the security and stability it brings to our current lives, and to the future. This is all the more important to him now we have a son. I am hugely grateful for this, but I … [Read more...] about Wanderlust: Should you leave your job to travel?

What is One Planet Parent?

One Planet Parent provides inspiration for simple living, decluttering, saving money, travel and learning without school for people who want to do things differently.

As parents, we can nuture a generational shift in perspective and provide the skills, knowledge and motivation for young people to live well with less, create a connection to nature and other people, and to care deeply about the Earth. By ‘being the change’ we can lead by example.

Our planet is going to need critical thinkers, problem solvers, outdoor lovers, frugal living experts and environmental activists, not passive consumers and followers of fashion. Post-pandemic, we have an opportunity to create change and mitigate the mistakes of the past.
