Macrobiotic adventurous traveling, living in a wild Nature
The question of traveling + macrobiotic does interest me a lot. I would like to pack and start traveling all over the world, while eating pure macrobiotic. I am interested in wild nature, where there are no places to shop for 1-2 weeks. The favorite regions to visit are SE Asia, S America, Mongolia, Tibet, India, Russia and all the beautiful mountains on the whole Earth.
I wonder if anybody traveled to wild places and lived on macrobiotic?
I am searching someone with experiences from the adventurous places to give me more courage to realise my plan, because I am still hesitating how to overcome all the problems with food.
I see the purpouse of these trips also from the spiritual view.
I would like to conduct very good macrobiotic lifestyle while traveling, because I won’t have another option and clean my body/spirit while traveling and while being connected with nature.
At home, while spending 10 hours at work, it gets hard to eat well. It needs a lot of discipline to not overeat, to not take too much jin foods, to chew 50 times, to eat slowly and in relaxed manner, to spent time outside and if possible walk barefoot each day.
I envision how my trips will give a completely different charge to my macrobiotic life. Maybe I am only dreaming and the reality will kick me hard and return me back to my city house living. But I hope, it will be the opposite and I will fall in much bigger love with the Nature and that I will feel completely at home in the deep mountains with simple foods.
The more and longer I eat macrobiotic, the more I feel being pulled to the natural life style. To build and live in a house in some mountains and be self-suficient. I really like this direction that macrobiotic leads me.
My big problem with traveling is also that I am alone for this. Not many people would like to undertake 1-2 month living in a strange places and exploring the nature. But maybe I was searching at wrong places. I was searching only localy and today I realised why I don’t share my dream here. If anyone is of the same feeling about the traveling + nature + macrobiotic, please let me know, maybe we can start planning something together 
Bellow are photos are from my summer 2007 trip to Iceland. I was eating mostly macrobiotic there for 15 days and I can share a lot of tips and experiences with the Iceland in general if you want. Just let me know in comments.
This last one is not from Iceland, but from the Slovakia – High Tatra mountains, exactly from the east part called Belianské Tatry.

Hello,
I found your site in a Google search researching the macrobiotic lifestyle for an article I am writing. I would love to find out if you ever went on this trip, and also would love to receive a few tips from you on incorporating travel into the macrobiotic lifestyle. I’d love a bit of info about your Iceland trip and what you did to keep up with the macrobiotic diet there.
Please feel free to get in touch! I would love to find out more about your experience.
Thanks!
Cheers!

Hello Kate.
I haven’t went for this trip yet. But I was doing small trips that gave me some first experience. I have also met many interesting people, some treking alone in the India and SA Asia, and they shared a lot of informations with me. For a longer trip, like “traveling around the world” I would like to go with someone, not alone. It’s getting colder outside in my place and I am looking for small weekend treks only for now – if anyone want to join
For the Iceland – I was buying white rice, pastas, red lentils, tuna fish, oatflakes and vegetables and fruits in the Bonus store. Cooking on the small gas bombs. I wasn’t buying any whole wheats or anything that needs longer boiling, because of the limit of the gas bombs. Also there was a little cold each morning (0-10 *C) so we needed hot bancha tee as the first thing at morning. I had problems with sweet things. I hadn’t any quality oil there, I hadn’t enough barley malt so I craved for sweets – which I solved by the worst method – cheap chocolates. But in the cold weather and enough physical activity I have discharged the white sugar energy very quickly I suppose – at least I was feeling perfect.
