I am a sustainable tourism/social enterprise professsional passionate about making travel a force for good. I'm currently the Chief Impact Officer of Tourism Cares, an industry nonprofit dedicated to advancing the positive impact for people and places to thrive. In 2014 my husband and I quit our jobs, left San Francisco and drove a truck camper to Tierra del Fuego in search of a new perspective on life. For twenty-six months we lived slowly and simply, crossing 25 borders through 17 countries. Now I'm back and excited to connect with other travelers and explore opportunities to make the world a better place through travel.
