Travel Journal - Cinque Terre, Italy
This Tuesday, we have another Travel Journal entry for you! This one was inspired by our day exploring Cinque Terre, Italy. Hiking the miles of coastline with Lou as we looked out upon these beautiful colorful towns is an experience I will never forget.

Travel Journal - Nice, France
Hello! For those of you who are new here, I'm Dana and my husband Lou and I are currently traveling through Europe in our ancient van we named Ody. We make videos and share them every Tuesday on Youtube. We love storytelling, which keeps us forever entertained with life on the road. Whether it's sharing our van life adventures or my recent passion for art, we really hope you enjoy!

Starting a Travel Journal
Today I am so excited to share my first experience starting a travel journal! If you explore the travel journal or art journal hashtag on Instagram there are so many incredibly talented artists, and like many people I found myself in the admiring camp for far too long. But I’ve been watching from the sidelines for long enough!

What I Eat in a Day - Vegan, No Oil, Low-Fat - Basic Meals
Is trying to eat healthy overwhelming you? Here is our What I Eat in a Day that is inspired by my husband, Lou’s journey to heal his Rheumatoid Arthritis naturally. We follow a low-fat, oil-free vegan diet to manage his symptoms. He is almost completely inflammation free all by focusing on foods that heal his gut.

What to Eat After a 7 Day Water Fast
This post explains exactly what Lou ate after completely a 7 Day Water Only Fast. I found a lot of information from the True North Health Center and Lou feels great now almost a month post fast. His rheumatoid arthritis symptoms are still being managed even when re-introducing food. For Lou, breaking the fast was probably the most difficult part of the whole experience due to psychological hunger, but he is so glad that he followed a plant based diet to keep his body happy and healthy.

7 Day Water Fast - How Lou Hurt His Back and How Not Eating Helped Him Recover
In this post, I explain Lou’s entire 7 Day Water Fast experience from the origin of his health problems to how he works to manage his Rheumatoid Arthritis with lifestyle choices. The water fast was an incredible tool to reduce the inflammation in Lou’s body, especially in his arthritic joints, which he had not had relief from in years.
