7 days on a remote island somewhere in the Caribbean Sea without electricity and WiFi. This might sound scary to some people, but it is exactly what we are looking for. We spent one week freediving, opening coconuts and chilling in our over-the-water bungalow. Glover’s Reef is one of 4 atolls in the Caribbean and is around 50 miles off the coast of Belize. A true hidden gem for nature lovers who regard tranquility as a luxury.
It doesn’t matter how far away you go, even the remotest islands like the Bandas are full of plastic waste. The problem is not only the plastic coming from other places but also the rubbish thrown away by locals. The rubbish is just piling up and polluting the pristine archipelago. Nobody seems to care or feel responsible for it. But there is one outstanding personality who pledged his life to make Banda clean again. Magi, a 40 year old teacher, has achieved what no government project has managed so far. He educates people about reducing plastic and organizes a whole waste system on Banda Neira. This is the extraordinary story of how one person can make a big change.

First of all thank you all so much for your positive feedback about my no poo method post. I am very happy that so many people are interested in the no poo method and that I could help inspire even more people to try it. The interest from our Chinese readers was so big that 2 volunteers helped us to translate the post into Chinese and spread it on WeChat. We got so many comments and questions that we thought it might be helpful to summarise the most asked questions about the no poo routine in a separate post. Here you go

Have you ever heard about people who don’t really wash their hair? Until I started researching about what to pack for our world trip I also had no idea. I came across some world travellers who didn’t bring shampoo to save weight, they basically used baking soda for everything. This is how I came across the No Poo Method.
