I've worked in tourism since the mid-90s, and sustainable tourism since the mid-00s, in destinations, marketing and ecommerce, heading up operations abroad and online for major tour operators, online travel agents and media, in mainstream tourism, ski, safari, tours, charity challenges and voluntourism, NGOs and sustainable tourism accreditation organisations. I've been a ski resort manager, a qualified ranger in Africa, charity challenge leader and acclaimed academic for my pioneering Responsible Tourism Management Masters thesis on the online marketing and greenwashing of volunteer tourism. As a result, I became a trustee for charity SEED Madagascar. In 2019, I was Ambassador for the UK Government Department for the Environment’s Year of Green Action and won Travelmole UK Best Responsible Travel & Tourism website for www.earth-changers.com, a curated collection of the best positive impact, sustainable tourism for people to find & book trips that truly change the world.
