Watch: Vegan Summer Fiesta

Living in Bali has forced us to dive into life, way beyond our comfort zone. We've had to overcome the luxury of first world privilege and an irrational fear of "survival" in a Western sense to literally grab life by the horns.

From learning how to ride motorbikes on the 'wrong' side of pothole, stray dog and rooster laden roads through tiny ricefields (see instagram pic below!) to confronting surprising levels of primitive racism, patriarchy and xenophobia we have never encountered in all our world travels, we've had to muster the spiritual equanimity to remain patient and unruffled while living within a chaotic third world infrastructure. 

This has forced us to dig deep and confront our own inner demons. To move forward and grow, we've had to challenge countless assumptions about ourselves and the world. Without a daily meditation practice, this would be impossible. Needless to say, it's been the adventure of a lifetime!

What journey are you most afraid of taking right now? Is there anything in this world that you are afraid of doing, being or trying? Today, practice getting on the bike. Let the Universe be your guide. Just ride. See where life takes you. Promise, you'll end up exactly where you're meant to be.

For inspiration on jump-starting your own adventure this summer, read on. From Yoga Getaways in exotic locales to mixing up the old meat-y backyard barbecue with Plant-Based Summer Entertaining, we've got you covered. Now get out there and have some fun!   xox

Carpe Diem,
