Ideas Worth Sharing
Writing about what it's like to live on the frontlines of the climate crisis, what it takes to do well and good at the same time, and how to make those fighting for positive change discoverable online.
About
I write because the stories I encounter in the field are too important to stay there. Instead of writing about click-bait heavy breaking news, doom and gloom, or a planet in decline, I write about the solutions. Or what I like to call case studies and blueprints for a better world.
From the scientist who's uncovered a major breakthrough to the activist putting movements on the map to the tech leader rewiring the future with new material science — I'm showcasing the people who should be our modern day heroes. These stories exist everywhere. They just don't get the same attention as the disasters. My writing is used to change that.
My writing spans conservation, business, venture, technology, living in the field, expedition ethics, and the reality of building a life around purpose. I write because it's the fastest way to turn field experience into something people can leverage and learn from.
What I Write About
From Forbes columns to expedition dispatches — click any topic to explore.
Only 2% of technical divers are women. Only 20% of National Geographic explorers are women. The numbers are changing, but not fast enough. The stories of the women leading that change are some of the most compelling in exploration today.

I learned to properly swim in my thirties. Six years later, I was exploring wrecks, caves, and deep systems around the globe as a professional diver. And in 2025, I became a technical, extended range diver. I talk about practical roadmaps for anyone convinced they started too late.

The adventure travel industry sells 'authentic experiences' while extracting from the very communities it claims to celebrate. There is a better model, and I've seen it work in 53 countries.
Best for: Travel industry, sustainability, tourism boards
It's not about how far you go or how rugged your gear is. It's about whether you leave a place better than you found it, and whether you bothered to ask the people who live there what 'better' means to them.
Best for: Travel publications, cultural commentary
The most transformative expedition I ever took was in my own backyard. Adventure is a mindset, not a boarding pass. Here's how to find the edges in your own backyard.

You will spend weeks in confined spaces with this person. You will see them at their worst. You will depend on them to not kill you. Choose accordingly. Here's what I've learned from getting it right and getting it dangerously wrong.
Best for: Adventure, outdoor, expedition communities
Nobody tells you about the loneliness, the bureaucratic nightmares, or the fact that 'living the dream' sometimes means crying in an airport at 3am because your equipment got impounded at customs.

I built a life that funds conservation through corporate strategy. It took five years, a whole lot of training, tears, wins and losses. Yet, finding your passion in your work is the only career model I'd ever recommend. Here's the blueprint.
Best for: Entrepreneurs, purpose-driven business, career change
I get asked often what it's been like quitting my day job to travel the world. The thing is, I never did. And never will. Here's how to live the life you always wanted, without giving up your professional skills to expert level so you can apply it to what you're most passionate about.
Best for: Business, career, entrepreneurship
The people doing the most important work in conservation and social impact are often the least visible online — not because their story isn't compelling, but because no one taught them how discoverability actually works. I write about turning field-level impact into an online presence people can actually find.
Best for: Founders, nonprofit leaders, SEO and marketing outlets
I didn't quit my job to fund conservation work — I built a business model where the two fund each other. Here's the actual mechanics of structuring ventures so purpose and profit stop competing for the same hours.
