I deliver talks, panels, keynotes and workshops as the founder of The Shooting Star – an award-winning sustainable travel blog, and Climate Conscious Travel – an impact consultancy that works with destinations and businesses to integrate community-centric climate action in tourism offerings. I’m a bestselling author, recipient of the prestigious Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards, and a passionate advocate for community-based tourism.
I speak on a wide range of topics, including the power of tourism as a tool for climate awareness, impact storytelling, and travelling the world with purpose. My talks and workshops are packed with memorable stories, actionable insights, case studies and audience engagement.
