intentional life improvement
Hi! We’re Matt and Emily.
Asking the question “are we doing what’s important to us?”, has set us on a wild journey. We’re now living full-time on the road in our Airstream RV with our dog Mia. We value continued learning, travel and lifestyle improvement and we feel really good when we live aligned with those values. Oftentimes it is living through discomfort that helps foster the most profound growth. It isn’t always fun and easy, but it is usually quite an adventure.
We upload weekly travel & lifestyle videos on YouTube! Follow us on our journey traveling around North America, living nomadically, and learn along with us as we continue to seek ways to improve.
Mindful Foragers
Being a mindful forager is about intentionally seeking new ways to improve the health and quality of your life.
Sapiens foraged for millions of years before settling down during the Agricultural Revolution. We are wired, evolutionarily, to forage, to seek not only food and physical resources, but knowledge. The average forager had wider, deeper and more varied knowledge of her immediate surroundings than most of her modern descendants (us). There is some evidence that the size of the average Sapien’s brain has actually decreased since the age of foraging.
Saying ‘mindful’ foraging is almost redundant because foragers were all extremely mindful, they had to be aware of their surroundings and intentional about their foraging in order to survive their hostile environment.
Their movements were influenced by the changing seasons, the annual migrations of animals and the growth cycles of plants. They usually travelled back and forth across the same home territory, an area of between several dozen and many hundred of square miles.
With our foraging ancestors in mind, we have set out on our adventure around North America. We love to share our journey and the concept of how to live a life of intentional life improvement. Hopefully we inspire you to dig back into your evolutionary routes, and live like a mindful forager, in a modern world.
