Besides my wonderful acknowledgement as a Virtuoso Cruise Icon last month, and the reward trip to Tahiti (see more below), I’ve also been honoured to be nominated for top Virtuoso advisor in sustainable tourism.

So, I thought it would be good to share some info with you about why conscious travel, or sustainable travel and tourism, is important.
I was thrilled to be nominated as a top travel advisor supporting sustainability tourism. I have long joined hands with those who champion sustainable tourism, and feel strongly that we can have a trip of a lifetime while also making a positive impact on the local communities and places.
I’m happy the photo of me is from a trip I took to the Galapagos. To me, the Galapagos is the home of #sustainability , and the recognition that we all have to work that we ensure we respect the nature, the culture, and the people of the places we visit.
Have a look.
