As a freelance travel writer and climate storyteller, I contribute stories to several widely read publications, writing at the intersection of sustainable travel, local communities and climate action. My goal is to make knowledge of sustainability challenges, environmental justice and climate solutions accessible, inspiring and actionable to a wider audience. Using the lens of travel allows me to add a layer of curiosity and appreciation for our planet’s wild beauty and living cultures, and open the door to the climate conversation in a way that compels people to care.
