Drink Tea

Eat/Drink Raw

It's fairly simple. Try to eat a bit of raw food every single day. Actually, traveling on a raw diet must be the easiest thing to do. Unimaginable for most people, just think about it. No need to cook! Just fueling on pure, strong, colorful vitamins. We started most of our days with raw (soaked overnight) oatmeal and fresh sliced fruit. When driving throughout the day, carrots and apples do great.

Mixing up a big salad is always a fine thing and doesn't take much. Asian salad rolls, we discovered too late in our trip, are the best thing. Treat yourself to a good juice every now and then. And raw desserts are plenty in big cities!

Herbal Tea.

Mate.

Kombucha.

Cheap Life Quality.

Buy a nice bottle/thermos, ideally with a built-in strainer and pack about 3 favourite herbal blends. Take something soothing calming, on the base of chamomille which will be great for stomach distress too. Take another baggie with a peppermint base, uplifting and enhancing digestion, and another one if you are feeling like you are getting a cold, with echinacea. Additionally, pack some green tea for long days and chai tea for long nights!
