Travel is a privilege – one that most people around the world don’t have. For those of us fortunate enough to explore beyond our borders, it’s our responsibility to do so ethically and respectfully.

Travel should be a force for good – for the planet, for the people, and for the creatures we share it with.
I’ve made my share of mistakes over the years, but I always strive to learn and grow from them. As travellers, it’s our responsibility to educate ourselves about the countries and communities we visit – and to be aware of the potential negative impact our presence can have. The least we can do is approach each place with humility, respect, and a genuine commitment to doing better.
