I met Dan on the side of the road in October of 2017 just south of Prince George BC, Canada. He had just finished riding his bicycle solo from Argentina to Alaska over three years time and was hitchhiking back to Vancouver to fly home to the UK and see his family. Dan went vegetarian during the first few weeks of his bike tour and still lives a plant-based lifestyle today. In this episode Dan and I discuss the best parts of living the bike touring lifestyle, the challenges, and the stories we learn from on the road.

🥥🍌I am speaking in generalizations here so liberal meat eaters don’t be offended or triggered, I know you exist...but I have totally observed a correlation between the carnivore diet community on IG and many of them being Trump supporters. Not all, but many🙈🤦‍♂️
🍊 🤡
I rest my case haha🤣🤣People who believe in the science supporting a plant-based diet generally have better logic than people who think steak and cheese is a good heart attack preventative diet and that the orange clown is a smart person.
🥴😳😑😑😑
Plant-based diet wins again. Here’s what I eat for health and pleasure and sustainability. Literally allllll local. Entirely. That’s why I live in Costa Rica🤙🐒🥥🍌🦎🌎

A loooottt of people don’t like or understand this concept which is #adoptdontshop means stop breeding dogs entirely which will eventually make them go extinct or nearly extinct. 😳🤯😢All dogs evolved from wolves🐺 Wolves are wild animals and we domesticated them for our protection and survival thousands of years ago. Made sense back then.
❄️
Now we have tons of dogs breeds and none exist in the wild balancing an ecosystem. They are like humans, they eat processed food and don’t hunt in the wild balancing nature like all other wild animal do.
🦅🦎🦂🦋
If we keep breeding dogs for our companions/entertainment, some will be happy in happy homes sure, and a lot will be abused, abandoned, and left on the street or in a shelter like Maggie was, that’s super fucked and sad.
👎👎👎
So, in order to minimize the suffering of these animals we love, considering we cannot trust humans to never abuse or neglect dogs, we have to stop breeding them entirely, adopt and rescue all the ones that currently need love and homes, and then one day there will literally be no dogs to buy or rescue because they don't exist in nature.
🙀🤷‍♂️
If you don’t understand this concept or disagree please comment below.
🙋‍♂️
Much love. I love dogs so much I hope they go extinct and we only have wild animals.

Get it?

Bye.

everything else is like whatever, cool but not needed.

Being simple and sourcing your joy from things that are natural is a very sustainable way to experience long term happiness in my opinion.

We are soft bags of chemicals with shifting emotio

We are soft bags of chemicals with shifting emotions. Balancing these emotions is so hard but fun to work on.
🤘💪😜
-CARING ABOUT STUFF IN LIFE
🤓
-NON ATTACHMENT TO ALL THINGS
🥳
-& ANXIETY
🥺
We care about our lives, passions, loved ones, material items etc because we all have egos and have been programmed to advance in these mainstream metrics of progress. It’s also simply fun to care, makes us feel like we have a purpose even though I think purpose is a funny false concept. How can we have purpose? That supposes we are important and have been placed here to do something by god. I think that’s hilarious. I think I am like a spec of bacteria that just evolved a lot and now I am here for a few years then I’ll die…cuz I understand science. Haha who’s with me?🙋‍♂️
😂
Alright now NON ATTACHMENT. This is the most important because it is against our nature but has the potential to set us free and beyond anything. Attachment to anything will never make you happy because the only constant that exists in the universe is change. When you are truly non attached you are just a free spirit experiencing each breath and the magic of life without wanting anything more or less in the future or past. Enlightenment. But if you devote yourself to non attachment fully you’ll inevitably fall into a monastic way of life so say goodbye to money and vices and entertainment and the messy roller coaster of life which many us enjoy, I do.
🧘‍♂️🙏
Then ANXIETY sucks because it feels terrible but it’s an important defense mechanism so we don’t fuck up in our attached lives. If you are fully non attached anxiety does not exist. But as I said, I play the attachment game in many ways and anxiety helps me make smart decisions so my attachments are successful and I maintain some control. Control that I will inevitably loose at some point obviously haha.
🌊💞
Soooo balancing these three is what I am really focusing on and I think I am getting to a really good place with them and it’s pretty dope. What do ya’ll think about balancing these in your own life? Help me out.

😂😻🐒This is a beautiful yogi primate couple who loves each other unconditionally but also practices healthy non attachment because change and uncertainty is the only constant we can count on! Haaa how bout that🙃😜! What a world we were born into. Pretty nuts🌰

Oh and this fruit… it’s a Rolinia, aka Biriba aca en Costa, anonaceae family. Native to South America, delish. WOW. I like dinosaurs🦖 so this is a good fruit for fruit and dino lovers ya know. So reptilian in some way🤙
🤗💃🌴
Have a great rest of your day. Be goofy, light hearted, breathe deeper and more intentionally, spend some time moving your body and being in nature and eating fruits, you are bound to succeed today and every day if you do that.

🥥🤗I’m an introvert at heart. I’ve traveled and biked many countries solo with my pup happy as can be and love working on my farm amongst the bugs and toucans in nature’s silence. But I also know that community and connections are the healthiest medicine for all humans, even me, and when I spend too much time alone I start to feel empty and even sabotage myself sometimes. 😬 We need to be a part of a tribe.
🤝
I spend 6 days a week farming in the jungle in my rural town with Maggie and Natalia, so selling at the far mar (feria we call it) every Thursday has been such a gift in my life because it’s a social overload which is just what I need once a week.
😹👌
We get there at 7am, and for 5 straight hours we sell our healthy, local, organic, vegan ferments, garden herbs and snacks to our community of other groovy farmer yogi tattooed folks and local Costa Ricans too!
🇨🇷
OMG the conversations we have at the feria with our friends/customers can be hilarious hahaha everything from permaculture talk to covid life and conspiracies, politics, philosophy, mixed martial arts, nutrition beliefs, religious beliefs, fitness, and our collective aspirations to create conscious sustainable off grid communities.
🐒🌊
It’s so fun. Thursdays are exhausting but also so nourishing to my introverted soul to get a flood of community connections.
😻
Very grateful, I’ve always wanted to be a far fam vendor! I manifest my dreams left and right it’s wild. This is just the beginning 😼😺🎃

🐒🍠My diet changes in minor ways month to month but you could say big picture hasn't changed in years.
🍌🍌🍌
Whole Food Plant Based Diet is where it’s at for me. I’ve been rocking that way of eating for 8 years and crushing it in life and health as you all know.
💃💪🍊
But I’m really stoked on my staples these days. Feeling wonderful in my mind body connection while having fun with my food, enjoying it, feeling fit, energized, and my blood work I recently did came out great. Here is what I eat pretty much every day, all organic.
🤗🤗🤗🤘
Coffee, coconut water, banana, papaya, piña, avocado, chia seeds, tons of greens from my garden, pumpkin, beans, nutritional yeast, salt, coconut meat, fresh ginger and turmeric, lime, tomatoes. I eat more things too but these show up on my plate every damn day.
💪💪💪
What are you’re staples???

🔨maybe just maybe I’ll have the grace of La Maggie in my next life🙏💜 Thanks for always inspiring us Magz. Real talk though, jokes aside, the winning cheat code to this life for us silly humans is to source our meaning and joy from CONNECTIONs to nature and each other 🦋🕸💫🌊👫🤝 rather than try to achieve happiness from MATERIAL ITEMS & THINGS 🚘🍸📱💰Maggie embodies that concept fully. It’s very inspiring. Thanks for always reminding me luv🐒🙏💕

🪐As ya know…there is a game like quality to this life. I didn’t come up with that concept, I just get it.
🎮🌈😉
WILL POWER is like a Mario Kart mushroom. Remember when you hit a shroom in Mario and boom you rage trough a vortex of speed and colorful sparks and exhilaration☄️☄️If you can harness some more will power in your life, which I know everyone can, I’ve seen it, you can feel like you’re hitting a Mario mushroom in real life. FOR REAL!
🍄🍄🍄🍄
I’ve been low vibe. I’ve been down on myself🤦‍♂️, made stupid decisions with my food, movement, inner dialogue, substance use, and life feels flat and dull and painful. But the world didn’t change to make me feel like that, it’s all within. MINDSET.
🤗🤗
MOOD FOLLOWS ACTION
🏃🏃🏃🏃🧘‍♂️💁‍♂️
If you’re low vibe and want to feel like you’re hitting a Mario mushroom in real life, harness some will power to make good decisions, and boom your mood will transform. I promise, it works every time.
💕💕💕🎉
When I’m low vibe for some reason and sick of it, I sit, breathe intentionally and say to myself, “Mood follows action ya fuk. See the world for what it is, a ball in space with living things on it transferring energy at all times with beautiful colors till we all die. Make good choices, nothing really matters, you have nothing to loose, you got this, you are love, that’s all there is.”
🍍🍍🍍😍😎
Then once I really believe that, I go outside, run, hike, even if it feels shitty or I still don’t like myself, and I force myself to do it again the next day, that’s WILL POWER. Then after a few days you are vibing bright, and you’re there, in the mushroom state.
😏🤩🤩
I wonder who has followed me on this morning espresso fueled rant while I stare out at some toucans playing in the tree in front of me. I’m gonna go poop and go for a bike ride now then continue to post YouTube videos and weed one of my many gardens. Namaste.

🍀🌞Buuueennoos dias ya’lll chillin with my

🍀🌞Buuueennoos dias ya’lll chillin with my garlic vine, amazing leaf with strong garlic flavor!!! Drinking a morning espresso right now writing this a lil tired at 6am after a fun UFC Saturday night. Here’s the thought entering my brain this morning…🧠 humans have been farming for nourishment and survival for 12,000 years.
👨‍🌾☀️🌶
Before that we were hunter gatherers for way way longer.
☄️🦔🐐
200 years ago 90% of the American population lived on farms and grew their own food. Today only 2% of Americans are farmers and the farms have gotten bigger, use more chemicals, and many of those farmers are producing cattle feed or ethanol, not even growing healthy human food for consumption.
🤯😬🌽🌽🌽
Think about how quickly we’ve switch to sterile city existences away from our roots of spending all day on the farm with hands in the soil or picking berries or hunting down wild animals. Think about how good it would feel to stumble upon a fruiting tree and call your tribe over to carb the fuck up together. Or the feeling of killing a wild animal and bringing it back to the village. Food is security, it’s life, it’s so personal, it becomes us.
🍠🥭🍌🍓🥥
We evolved to receive extreme levels of satisfaction and dopamine from using nature to provide for our friends and families. How often do you provide healthy calories for your tribe now? Going to the grocery store is not the same feeling and there are so many environmental consequences to the industrial global food system.
🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️🥖🥩🥫🍭
Not only did I not grow up on a farm, we didn't cook much as a family in Los Angeles, I grew up on take out. Completely disconnected from being a food provider, and I felt that loss. That’s what attracted me to the farm life, and it’s been an 8 year journey now working and volunteering on farms. Now I have my own farm, and it’s just about the best feeling there is. I’m completely tuned into my land and the vibration of life, growth, death, and ecology. Thank the lord, which is pachamama, which is the soil, water, animals, insects, minerals, plants, the good good lord! Rental cabins coming soon!

A spontaneous morning poem on self improvement
🦋💎
reach deep within to your inner child
🌞
remember the life goals you had while exploring the woods with your friends as a kid
🌲 🐿
like a volcano
🌋
pressure forces us to grow
🌍
it’s our choice whether we burst with a fantastic display of intensity and magic
🤩
or spit out clouds of dust and ash
😒
growth is inevitable. grace is precision is an art
🔮
practice is all there is
🏃‍♂️
there is no destination, growth in infinite, our bodies are finite
💆‍♂️
set a goal, practice, then detach from the goal, and enjoy the process.
😎🧘‍♂️🏄
in 2012 when I started practicing yoga I could not even kick my feet up to do a handstand on the wall.
🌞
namaste.
🙏🤙✌️❤️
pura vida.

I think remembering you are going to die is a grea

I think remembering you are going to die is a great practice for a better life.
😎🙃☄️
How often do you, like me honestly, get stressed over things like money, relationships, social status, your body and beyond. Stressed or sad about things not going your perfect way…
🙈🙉🥴
Happens a lot right?!? Yep, it’s because we are human and want to control our environment but that’s a delusion. Things don’t go our way all the time, that’s life.
😬🙄
When you remind yourself constantly that you’re going to die then everything in your life whether it’s pleasurable, neutral, or even a bit painful starts to feel like some interesting experience you’re having before you die, rather than feeling like your precious life is falling apart.
😉
As long as you work pretty hard, have good intentions and never try to directly harm others, you can’t screw up your life. Screwing up would imply your life is “supposed” to go a certain way and that’s silly. We signed no contract when we were born that we would act a certain way or do specific things in life.
🌱
We are simply here experiencing a roller coaster of emotions until the day we die and are forgotten, in my opinion.
🌎
Don’t take anything too seriously. You’re only able to feel things, good or bad, for a short lifetime. So enjoy the wave, know the ride ends soon, and lighten up.
🏄 🌊
Enjoy the feeling of feelings things rather than attached to which feelings you are feeling. Feelings come and go. Always.
❤️💗💜
This philosophy has brought me a lot of inner peace. I grew up thinking life was super precious and had to go a certain way or else I’d be a failure. I had to unlearn that one, and I’m very grateful for this teaching.

🥝 Fruit plate from my Mexico vay-cay😻My advi

🥝 Fruit plate from my Mexico vay-cay😻My advice for everyone, and if you disagree with any of these or have more universal recommendations comment below plz
💃😎
1) breathe deeper and slower all day🌬
2) care less about the approval of others and get more in tune with what truly serves you 👉👏
3) spend more time naked and in nature 🍑🌿🐿🌸
4) observe wild animals and insects more in your community. get to know your local ecosystem 🌱🦚🦋
5) eat less processed food and more whole foods🍅🥒🍠🥑
6) go vegan or at least try it. I’ve been vegan 8 years and really recommend it. it’s a fun journey🥕🥦🥥🍇
7) sleep and hydrate more🌚💦
8) garden more. If you don't have outdoor space start a window sill herb garden or grow edible mushrooms indoors 🍄
9) this one is intense, but so important. Research the environmental and humanitarian impact of everything you need to live like your food, clothes, transportation, technology etc and try to reduce your negative impact on pachamama and poorly treated labor workers 🚗 🌍🔥📱
10) love yourself more. It’s tough but we are all one so do your best to see yourself in all things and that you are enough right now.
🌟🌼🦦
Best of luck friends ✌️🤞If you want more direct help DM me and we can figure out a lil coaching deal to keep you accountable becoming your best self🙏🙏🙏

Natalia, Maggie and I had such an amazing trip to the States and Mexico, so full of adventure and family connection time. BUT damn I’m happy to be back on my farm, beyond grateful for having the opportunity to cultivate this land I find myself on, and back to rural living. It’s for me, the city creeps me out now, I’ve been living in nature too long I’m not going back.

🌞A couple people rightly questioned my mental health when I explained how much better I feel about life when I’m super lean and in tip top yogi runner shape like I am now (right) vs the left. In that left pic I was snacking on vegan processed food every night for emotional reasons, not doing yoga because I wasn't as flexible, thus pretty negative in my internal dialogue.
😟🧁
Given my openness about eating disorder recovery over the years I totally understand people asking me to check myself, but I still stand by that last post.

It would be awesome if our bodies and their functionality did not impact our mental state. If so we could just eat junk food and be lazy and still be our most productive happy selves, but that’s a fantasy my friends. We are animals, wild animals die if they are in worse shape than their peers or predators, so it makes sense that we evolved to receive positive feedback when we are in the best shape for our natural body type and working hard physically. Not rocket science.

Each person is different. I am naturally a thin dude. Some people are genetically bigger, and getting down to my leanness would be a struggle and I’m not recommending that. I simply believe in giving your body what it wants, which is different person to person.

In 2012-14 I controlled all my food, I didn’t have a single bite of vegan restaurant or processed food because I thought it would make me sick or fat. I was under 150 pounds, I lost my sex drive and my blood work revealed I had hypothyroidism which was causing me to be lethargic. Today I am a bit heavier then the bad days, my sex drive is BANGIN, blood work on point, and I absolutely allow myself to eat vegan junkier food when I feel like it with no fear of getting sick or fat like when I was in the throws of my ED.

The purpose of my last post was to inspire you all that there are levels to feeling good in your mind body connection and I have experienced firsthand that achieving the fitness level that your unique bodies feels the best in is a worthy pursuit to achieve.

If you think that is controversial or ED mentality, let’s just agree to disagree.
#edrecovery #vegan #plantbased #calisthenics #fitness

I feel amazing in my body right now. 😻 💃 I

I feel amazing in my body right now.
😻 💃
I call this body type Jackson’s yogi runner calisthenic body. Different from bodybuilder thicc boy Jackson and also different from skinny road cyclist body.
🤸‍♂️
I think I found my ideal body type that I’ll maintain. It’s this it.
😉
Eating disorder and body dysmorphia recovery is nuanced, let’s talk about it. I’m being real here even if it triggers some.
😕
There is a fine line between working towards the best version of yourself in a healthy mindful way and getting lost in the journey of self improvement where it gets unhealthy.
😟
I am someone who is really mentally impacted by my body. It’s good and bad. When I get a little out of shape, stop moving as much and over eat I get bloated and lethargic which really brings down my mood. In those times it’s hard for me to be productive in my work and I’m not as sweet to my loved ones, I want to isolate. No good.
🙃
But that’s obvious right? Your body is a machine and it wants to be taken care of in the best way. If I want to have the most positive mental attitude then I have to give my body the conditions it really prefers. I’m super sensitive, just a little more body fat and I don’t feel as high powered as when I’m like this.
🤷‍♂️
I love this body the most because I feel light, so flexible, agile, and mentally focused. Even 10lbs heavier and I can’t handstand or twist as well in my yoga practice. I do like the look of being a little thicker with bigger muscles but that comes with a heavier load and especially as a farmer I love being quick and able to hike up my hills so quickly in Costa Rica.
⛰ 👨‍🌾 🥑
Why not treat your body like a Ferrari and make it the best you know it can be, and that is different for everyone. I can’t get any skinnier, it would be unhealthy, but it’s clear that I love a really lean body, I simply feel my best, it’s undeniable. So now my mission is to maintain and make sure to get in my pull ups every day. You deserve to feel incredible, there is nothing else like it. You want help, DM me.

🦋
What’s your love relationship like? Is it what you really want? Are you and your partner both conscious of how you are evolving and growing together? Any resentments or lack of communication you need to work on?
😉😳😬
It’s so easy to crush on someone, get obsessed with making things work based on the image you create in your mind of where the relationship could go, neglect the issues you need to work on, and then those issues turn into passive aggressive energies and fights which are totally unnecessary.

I want a relationship that is so authentic and love rather than ego based that we set each other free every day. I don’t expect her to be there by my side all day, or to only give me the love and wisdom she has to offer. I want her to feel so free with me that every day she sticks around my savage self, and kisses me, and gives me love and and attention, I feel that she is really choosing to give me those things rather than fulfilling an obligation.

Relationships are just concepts, they won’t last forever, they are not even defined. I try the best I can to appreciate this feeling I have now being secure, comfortable, loved and provided for in my relationship while also acknowledging every day that it’s is a privilege I get to experience for now not something I need or rely on because I let my babe live free. She’s a firecracker in many ways, that’s one of the reasons I love her, so if she changes, or I change and she digs someone else, or life happens and she moves on I see what we experienced as such a blessing. Don’t get me wrong, I want her, I want her to stay and be with me, but a part of why our love feels so good is that we don’t confine each other or own each other. Every day is a conscious love based decisions to grow together and dedicate our love and bodies to each other. We don't keep it up because we have to, we want to, for now, and that’s sexy and powerful to me.

😻It’s Election Day, some people are stressed or worried or can’t get their mind off it but I move my body so much, spend so much time in nature and eat so many plants and fruits that while I do care about politics and can’t wait to see trump get booted out, I’m just grateful and relaxed and vibin all the time cuz why not I’m too blessed to be stressed🌞🍌Another day, another fruit medley, another moment to appreciate how grateful I am to feel fucking amazing, grateful that I’m aware of how to be healthy, grateful that I grow my own food, grateful for my luck and privilege in this life, grateful for the wonder of fruits and how they’ve evolved and been cultivated and the whole thing is a trip and I love this ride of life. Let’s get the orange swamp monster out of office. Don’t get me wrong, Biden is not inspiring or legit at all he’s a standard establishment hack in many ways, but he’s an angel next to Trump on policy, career, way he conducts himself, respect, literally biden sucks and he’s so much better then the orange clown, if you’re interested in my opinion🤡 😎💪 🇺🇸

Lots and lots of time and intelligence. Intelligence comes from evolution. Every living thing is the best version of itself at its present moment, learning from the species mistakes and adapting for better future success of survival. Everything we see, even fruits, are evolved, refined, manipulated things. The products of millions or thousands of years of progress. So I say praise and respect everything natural. All of it. It’s amazing work. Even humanness is to praised in amazement. We are fucking a lot of shit up and we kill each other and a lot of animals BUT I can still remove that stigma from my mind for a brief moment and just appreciate how amazing evolution has worked on us. Our species is only 200,000 years old and our previous species ancestors, other primates, evolved for even longer to get us to where we are now, intelligent af, it’s crazy huh!?!?

😻this lil road trip down Baja in a car has been interesting for me. To jump back into travel life, living in other peoples spaces again, moving around not knowing what is coming next, weird mattresses or none at all, road food, street dog attacks, haha like the old days when I was a full time nomad. I love traveling because it strips you down to your core, you’re forced to overcome obstacles...AND it make me appreciate the life I’m building in Costa Rica so much. It’s so grounding and calming living rurally and growing my own food in the tropics. We will be back in CR in 11 days if Jah allows our plans to unfold as we wish🙏✌️💜🥑 #vegan #permaculture #puravida #fruit #yoga #gratitude #travel
