It's #EarthDay today! And I am always asked "what can I do?" Well here are three things I have committed to for this year and maybe one... or all of them inspire you too!

1. Visit a National Park you've never been to before - for me that was Golden Gate National Park a few weeks back. I've visited so many and could not believe I hadn't been to this little gem so close to home!

2. Say yes to a backpacking hike with friends - I am so excited for an amazing 5-day hike coming up sometime later this year in one of South Africa's most beautiful spots! Can't wait!

3. Beach clean-up - we love our beaches so let's try to commit to a beach clean-up morning even if just once this year... there are plenty of them around as well as river clean-ups if you're far from the ocean. To follow, links to some clean-ups you can join:
