About me

Having lived in Nepal some years, my focus is on sustainable tourism. I currently work as an auditor for Travelife (hotels and travel agents) and coach, supporting travel agents in several countries to become Travelife partners and to become certified. Previously I have written reviews for Travel to Care on the hotels and travel companies in Nepal that try to run sustainably (environmental/cultural/social). I also run Rural Assistance Nepal, a small private charity that supports a few salaries for teachers and a nurse. I am keen to support community-based tourism in Nepal and have visited many of these in an advisory capacity, travelling extensively all over the country.
