Dana and Lou created Plant Based Traveler to share their experience with the world via weekly videos!

Just took a huge leap of faith and made our new website public and the link is in our bio! . I have literally been working on this new site for months. Before we even knew we were going to change our name, Lou and I started talking about how we wanted to create a space for all of our content that was completely our own. Not filtered through your Instagram feed or hopefully in the recommended section on YouTube, just a space that we could feel safe to pour our souls into and display anything our hearts desired. . I have to admit though, building something that we both longed for so deeply had me feeling very overwhelmed at times. I had no idea how to use websites, hadn't written in what felt like years, and even decided to learn how to watercolor so I could create illustrations for all of the blog posts. . Well the time has finally come and I am ready to share it with you! I have tons of content in draft still that should be coming out in the next few days, weeks, and months. I am really going to try to stay diligent with sharing myself and my thoughts on this website. I have so many topics I want to explore with you like finding your creative voice to positive body image to studying languages! . But for now I thought I would open it up with what we get asked about most frequently - how did we cure Lou's arthritis?? I have spent almost a year trying to figure out how to limit inflammation in the body and am slowly getting all that information onto our site so anyone suffering from an autoimmune disease can use it as a free resource and hopefully heal their body from the inside out, so make sure to check out the "Health" section if you're interested :) . Thank you so much for being so patient with us as we get back into the content creation mode. We promise to have new videos and van updates soon, but until then I would SO SO love to hear what you think of the new site! With love, Dana . . #wildweroam #websitelaunch #newadventure #vegan #portraitphotography
Happppy Saturday guys! It's Lou, with one last photo from Iceland. This one is actually from a timelapse I took for the Iceland video I filmed, which I have to say has some pretty unreal footage, including us taking a cold plunge in the coldest river I've ever been in and so many late night adventures--since the sun never sets. . . The funny thing about this photo was that there were actually tons of people all taking silly photos with the plane, but because this was from a timelapse I found the only one where it looks like I'm all alone 📸📸📸 #notsoabandoned . . . #wildweroam #stayandwander #ourcamplife #justgoshoot #wildernessculture #campeveryday #instagoodmyphoto #iceland
Hey it's Lou again, happy Friday! Here's another family portrait. These guys are EVERYWHERE in Iceland! I'm not really sure what they do with them all, besides tours and stuff like that, maybe someone can tell me in the comments? In any case, it makes driving around the country a lot more exciting when you get to pull over to the side of the road and watch a massive group of horses run through the hills! 📸📸📸 Work continued today on our first new video, it's going to feature some home video footage from Dana and my childhood when we were little, and I have to say there is some really hilarious stuff coming your way, including little Dana swimming in a big mud puddle 😜. . . . .#awakethesoul #mountainstones #campeveryday #justgoshoot #ourcamplife #stayandwander #wildweroam #wildernessculture
Hey guys, it's Lou again : ) Here's another one from Iceland! Spotted @buffertherussian standing precariously close to the edge of the Viti Crater. This whole area is super super interesting to explore, it feels a little like Mars, especially with all the futuristic power plant stations. 📸📸📸. Also, in other news, I'm back in Berlin and hard at work on our first new video! Sorry it's taking so long to get done, but we have so much other stuff going on lately that it's been a real struggle--on the plus side, I have 6 fully filmed videos I'm working on getting out, and the first one is going to be a really cool recap of our journey so far. Thanks for all the comments asking for more videos! It's crazy that we get messages every day now wishing for more videos ; ) the stories that are coming soon should be worth the crazy long wait! #wildweroam #stayandwander #ourcamplife #justgoshoot #awakethesoul #campeveryday #mountainstones
