Planeta Sana by Worldtravelable

Planeta Sana by Worldtravelable “Mens sana in corpore sano”. We want to go a step further: a healthy mind in a healthy body and in a The end goal was to have a positive impact on travel. How?

(EN) My project “Planeta Sana” started with Worldtravel-able, a blog aimed at inspiring people to travel responsibly, no matter what their circumstances. Then we evolved: we realized that the core of our project was to enhance the health and well-being of all the people on this planet. We need a healthy planet if we want to have a healthy mind in a healthy body! I connected the dots when I saw how

my health impacted my life. But also when I saw the damage mankind is responsible for. The first one was the oil spills, but then I got really impacted by Gasland, talking about the side effects of gas fracking on our health. I realized how the world was wired: infinite growth in a finite world, thinking short term to get financial benefits. No matter what the damage. Our life, well being, health, and safety completely depends on our planet. Which ultimately depends on us! Travel was my way to tackle those topics. Going abroad also opened my mind. It taught me empathy and respect. It taught me that being different is what makes life richer and beautiful. It also taught me that you can’t judge a book by its cover. When you are a little girl whose mother comes from a country nobody knows, people hate you for being different, and others love you for the same reason. It’s up to you to decide who you want to pay attention to. Being different brings lots of discrimination. And the same thing happens when you have an illness, visible or invisible. It can take decades to accept it, because we don’t want people to know and judge us for it. And what we want the least, is to be defined by it. We are not our illness. It’s not because we can’t walk much that we can’t discover the planet. We just have to adapt and be creative. And my time has come to bring awareness, so that everybody feels they belong to this planet, and that limits don’t exist, only in our minds. We are all part of the same race: the human race. And meeting people from around the world, to see the beauty of our planet made me care about preserving it. I want to inspire you through my experiences. Sharing stories about our nomad lifestyle, living abroad but like a local, and travelling to explore a new culture in an authentic way, sharing some expert's tips to make it easier. This is a brand new project which I am working to expand. And we want you to be part of this movement, by collaborating, sharing tips and places you know who have great respect for diversity, the health of people and of Mother Nature. Eventually, we want to promote a respectful lifestyle in our home and bring it with us everywhere in the world. Think of the way we consume, how we buy, what we eat, how we shop. Everything is linked together! Planeta sana, meaning, “the planet heals” (us). But only if we take care of it. As Gandhi meant and was summarized: "be the change you want to see in the world".

(FR) Nous souhaitons aller plus loin que la célèbre citation “Un esprit sain dans un corps sain”, car pour avoir un corps sain, on a besoin d’une planète saine aussi. Car notre Terre a le pouvoir de nous soigner. D’où le nom de mon projet: Planeta Sana (La planète soigne). Tout a commencé avec Worldtravelable, car c’est en voyageant que j’ai vu la beauté de notre faune et notre flore, et que j’ai également constaté à quel point cet écosystème était fragile et menacé. Et que tout ça influence aussi notre santé…

Les premiers drames majeurs qui m’ont interpellés? Les marées noires que j’ai connues pendant mon adolescence: l’Erika en 99, le Prestige en 2002. Ensuite, ce fut le tour du gaz de schiste où j’ai compris que non seulement on polluait, mais en plus on nous rendait malades…

J’ai compris que notre santé importait peu au monde avare qui ne pense qu’aux bénéfices économiques à court terme. Grâce à "Gasland", j’ai vu des gens avec des maladies, des animaux malades, des eaux polluées, des terres endommagées. Et c’est là que j’ai compris que tout ce qui est potentiellement dangereux pour la nature l’est aussi pour nous. Car nous vivons dans cet écosystème. J’ai aussi vu à quel point les personnes étaient sceptiques sur le réchauffement climatique. Je ne suis plus inquiète pour la Terre. Je sais qu’elle survivra. Par contre, nous, nous ne pouvons pas vivre sur une planète hostile à la vie. J’ai été touchée par une maladie invisible depuis mon plus jeune âge. J’ai l’habitude de voir l’incrédulité humaine. Beaucoup d’êtres humains sont malades, et ne savent même pas pourquoi. Et petit à petit, on se rend compte que c’est à cause de notre environment...

J’adore voyager, j’en ai fait un style de vie comme expatriée. Car quoi de mieux pour s'immerger dans une culture que de partir vivre à l’étranger? C'est aussi grâce aux voyages que j'ai eu plusieurs prises de conscience. Tout d'abord en voyant sa beauté, j'ai eu envie de la préserver. Mais aussi parce que j'ai vu que notre activité humaine devait être plus respectueuse du vivant. C’est une grande aventure qui commence avec Planeta Sana par World Travel Able. Car je veux en faire une plateforme collaborative. Un endroit où tout le monde pourra participer pour partager des adresses et des conseils respectueux de l’environnement et de la santé. Notre but est de soutenir le commerce local, le tourisme durable, la vie saine, l’intégration des minorités, bref, le bien être des personnes et de la planète! Rejoignez notre mouvement et comme on dit suite à un discours de Gandhi, soyez le changement que vous voulez voir dans le monde!

How are you coping with this heatwave? ☀️🌡️

Especially if you live with a chronic illness or disability, I’d really love to know what works for you.

Personally, when it gets this hot, going outside for a long period during the day is just not realistic. But staying home all day without moving isn’t good either.

So I’ve started doing what I call “tree hopping” 😂🌳

Every 2 or 3 hours, I go outside for about 5 to 10 minutes (I can't walk any longer anyways!) and walk from one shady spot to another, basically hopping from tree to tree to avoid the sun as much as possible.

It’s not much, but it gets me out of the house and gives me a little bit of movement without pushing my body too far in the heat.

And while we’re at it: any software engineers out there willing to create an app that gives you the shadiest walking route from A to B in real time? 😂

Not the shortest route. Not the fastest route.

THE SHADIEST ROUTE. 🌳🌳🌳

Seriously, we need this. 😂

Sometimes adapting means forgetting what exercise is “supposed” to look like and simply finding what works for your body. 💚

What about you? How do you manage the heat while still trying to move, get outside or simply feel okay?

Any tricks that make summer more manageable for you?

🇬🇧 Or in English, of course.

Maybe we can share a few ideas and help each other get through these very hot days. 🌿

🌍❄️ Can air conditioning save people and the planet?

The answer isn't simply yes or no.

As our climate warms, cooling is becoming increasingly important for protecting health. Older adults, disabled people, people living with chronic illnesses, babies and pregnant women are among those most vulnerable during heatwaves.

The World Health Organization warns that heat is one of the leading weather-related causes of death worldwide. As heatwaves become more frequent and intense, access to safe cooling is becoming a public health issue.

But cooling also has environmental costs. It uses electricity, may rely on refrigerants with high global warming potential, and releases waste heat outdoors.

That's why scientists promote sustainable cooling: protecting people while reducing environmental impacts.

There is no single solution. The best approach combines trees, external shading, insulation, natural ventilation, climate-smart architecture and efficient cooling systems when needed.

If you need air conditioning, choose the best option available for your situation. Most modern split air conditioners are actually reversible air-to-air heat pumps—the same highly efficient technology recommended to replace fossil-fuel heating. Portable units generally use more electricity, but they may still be the only practical option for renters or households with limited budgets.

If you use AC, many public health and energy agencies recommend around 26°C when possible (or 25–26°C depending on health needs), rather than making indoor spaces unnecessarily cold.

No single solution will protect us from extreme heat. We need healthier buildings, greener cities, cleaner energy and equitable access to cooling.

💬 How do you stay cool during heatwaves?

Il faut vraiment arrêter de traiter le climat comme un problème d'éthique morale avec des puristes complètement à côté de la plaque.
Il ne parle pas de tout, on fera nous même un article et publication sur ce sujet, mais c'est déjà un bon début d'explication de comment certaines clims (pas toutes!) peuvent complémenter des solutions passives pour rafraîchir nos logements et bâtiments publics tels que hôpitaux, écoles, etc.

🏠 "Undocumented migrants are taking our homes."

Really?

I hear this regularly from some people around me and from parts of the far right whenever Spain's housing crisis is discussed.

The screenshots above come from a Barcelona real-estate WhatsApp group.

The average housing budget in these messages is around €3,000 per month. Or more...

These are not budgets most local workers can afford.

And they are certainly not budgets that undocumented migrants living in overcrowded flats, precarious accommodation, or on the streets can afford.

As an immigrant myself, this narrative hurts.

I left France almost 20 years ago after experiencing discrimination because of my origins. Ireland was the first place where I truly felt accepted for who I was. Later, for family and health reasons, I moved to Spain where I also feel accepted and home. I know I will never feel home in my own native country...

Today, we work and pay taxes here, and have a Spanish employment contract. With a Spanish salary...

The housing crisis is real. But blaming undocumented migrants won't solve it.

Years of political inaction, housing speculation, short-term rentals, legal loopholes, and growing demand from wealthier expats able to pay far above local salaries have all contributed to the problem.

Meanwhile, ordinary residents — locals and immigrants alike — are being priced out of their own cities. When I see those ads, I know I will need to leave sooner or later, although all my doctors and therapists and mobility systems are here and will be impossible to replace with the kind of health issues and disability I have...

Before blaming the poorest, ask yourself:

Who can actually afford €3,000/month in Barcelona?
