Hi! We are Dan and Erika the creators of Have Butter will Travel!
We met and fell in love in 2006 and have been exploring the world together ever since. We have both struggled with our weight for most of our lives and have tried every weight loss diet/plan around without finding long lasting success. In July 2016 we started on yet another weight loss attempt, but this time it was a success and we have since lost over 95kgs (210lbs) between us! Click on the links to find out more about Dan’s story and Erika’s story. Following a ketogenic/LCHF way of eating has changed our lives in so many positive ways, aside from the weight loss, and is the new ‘normal’ for us now.
We started Have Butter will Travel so we can share our two passions – low carb eating and travelling. When we started out with low carb eating we struggled to find information out there specifically for Australians, so we hope we can provide some helpful resources to get people started and set them up for success.
We are also the proud parents of 2 fur babies, Gem and Scout, two cheeky cats we rescued in 2012.
Check out our latest posts to see what we have been up to in the world of keto and travel.
