"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand" - Woodrow Wilson
I am an Ecotourism Specialist who is passionate about connecting people with nature. I hold a PhD in Ecotourism from the University of Waterloo, Canada, and have completed projects in Poland, Peru, and North America. To date I have worked as an ecotourism consultant and business developer, researcher, program planner and evaluator, tour manager, travel writer and speaker. You would typically find me bent over some plant admiring an interesting insect or making bird calls in the rainforest with the intention of catching a glimpse of the bird in pursuit. I am excited to share my own travel experiences, thoughts, and advice through my blogs, and soon also my upcoming ecotours. Stay tuned!
