Product photography for Jungmaven: hemp clothing

Jungmaven’s clothing is what first comes to mind when we think of a summer wardrobe

Rooted in simplicity and sustainability, the mission of Jungmaven is to raise awareness about the many uses of hemp, and the ways in which its regenerative qualities make it an ideal alternative to other options that are less considerate of our planet.

Cultivated with a low impact on the environment, hemp requires no irrigation, pesticides, synthetic fibers, or GMO seeds. In fact, this restorative phyto-mediation plant restores balance in the environment by cleaning the soil, water, and air. By absorbing more carbon dioxide from the air than other types of trees and plants, it even has the potential to mitigate climate change. A small but mighty act, by choosing hemp clothing you’re making a conscious choice to help heal the planet!

Why you should stop geo-tagging your travel destinations on Instagram

It’s not unusual to find inspiration for our travels on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. We see travel bloggers, influencers, and friends posting beautiful destinations and follow the geo-tags to see how we might be able to experience it for ourselves.

While geo-tagging can seem like an innocent action, it can cause significant damage when not done responsibly.

We’re here to share our love of travel with you, to encourage sustainability, to inspire you with our visuals and our words, and to share our recommendations through our in-depth travel guides. But, being dedicated to eco-tourism, occasionally there are places that shouldn’t be specifically shared…

Monos luggage: a look at the Carry-On Plus

We’ve been in the market for upgraded luggage for some time. Our old fabric suitcases were fraying at the seams, and besides that, they were far too large, bulky, heavy, and simply not functional. In our quest to find a high-quality replacement, we had specific criteria that had to be met. Our new suitcase:

  • needed to be a carry-on with two usable sides

  • have a hard shell exterior for durability and easy cleaning

  • have spinner wheels that could easily maneuver

  • include an interior compression board or packing cubes

  • and, of course, be sustainably made

Having been inundated with targeted ads from Away, we did our due diligence and extensively researched the brand to see if it lives up to the Instagram-hype. Let’s just say that our research only solidified our decision to look elsewhere. Besides, in a sea of Away, we can easily see someone mistaking another traveler’s luggage for their own.

That was when we came across Monos.
