I've worked in tourism and hospitality since 2001 and from 2013 with a focus on sustainable tourism.
In 2014 I moved to Cambodia where I began advocating for reducing single-use plastics in the tourism sector, the response was massively positive and ultimately led me to creating my business, Plastic Free Southeast Asia.
The purpose of PFSEA is to support tour companies, destination bodies and hotels in creating their sustainability plan, engaging their team and putting the plan into place, whilst bringing suppliers and customers on the journey.
I'm an independent and trained Blue Consultant for Oceanic Global's Blue Standard and a verified coach for the Travelife Certification program, supporting tour companies who want to attain the Travelife certification in reaching their goal.
As well as these skills, I've got a Masters Degree in Tourism Management where I first learnt about and developed an interest in sustainable tourism.
Now based in Sydney, Australia I continue working with hotels and corporate businesses and also the Sydney Festival. I volunteer on the Mosman Council Climate Action Committee and for the NSW Tourism Awards as a judge.
Connections in the tourism space
I favour Southeast Asia and also love exploring!
Bhutan, Peru, Slovenia
Events planning in a resort hotel
Connection, perspective, compassion
such an important topic - i hope to be able to make it!
Sydney Travel Massive 24 days ago
I love our Sydney community and how connected and passionate everyone is - wonderful to have familiar faces and new people in the mix too. Thanks to everyone in Sydney for making Travel Massive such a great community to be part of.
I'm loving how this community is reconnecting and growing, it was great to hear how many of you are as keen for these meet ups as I am. I'll get cracking on the next event, we're aiming for May :)
Great to have you there Shandos :)
