About this Speaker
I was born and raised in Australia with parents from Chile and I remember fondly my early travel experiences as a child. Staying close to my mum, while we visited an endless list of relatives, trying to make sense of what was being said, but enjoying every moment, the food, the atmosphere and the beautiful scenery while taking the bus on long journeys south and north of the city.
That passion and excitement have always stayed and turned into a twenty-year career in travel and tourism. And for the past five years, I have used my passion and knowledge of sustainability and environmental awareness to become a global advocate, educator, consultant and thought leader for sustainable travel and tourism.
I hope to unite the government and tourism industry towards the future of sustainable travel by generating thoughtful discussions, raising awareness, and an education platform for travel advisors and operators. I regularly share my expertise by contributing to articles, blogs and forums across the globe.
I'm grateful to be able to align my strengths, values and mission to what I’m most passionate about - caring for the planet we call home. Nature is continuously evolving, so should humanity. By forgoing perfection, and instead be willing to challenge and change and live in harmony. May our children have the chance to enjoy all the pleasures of nature, just as we have.
