Insightful Travel Sustainable Future
Welcome to the Horizon.
This website is about travel, and its relationship to personal growth. I draw from my journey as a corporate environmental scientist learning to be a science communicator, after realising the world needs that more than additional specialists.
Here, I share my my sustainability habits, and how that translates into insight when you engage with the world. In specific sections of the website, I discuss sustainability in the context of the civilisation we live in, rather than as just single-issue topics. But for most of the site, sustainability topics are described through stories. In this way I hope to communicate the experience you would get from a professional applied sustainability multinational career, in ways that are natural and international, rather than academic and filled with jargon.
I hope by making visible the way that I’ve grown, I can help to guide you on your journey to make our future sustainable.
Have they then, never journeyed about the earth, letting their hearts gain wisdom, and causing their ears to hear?

I have had the wonderful privilege of travel in my life. My travelogues describe travel in different places, and how the experience changed me.
Insightful travel works both ways. My travels also give insight about where I’m from, and the ways that places and people are more connected than we think.
Here I share my advice and experience for becoming more sustainable, whether during travel, or getting more zero waste at home, as well as my carbon footprint calculation. You can also find career inspiration from jobs that are changing in our era of sustainable transitions, as described by people who do them.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are often spoken about from the perspective of technical professionals. But they arise from issues concerning fundamental human needs. Here I give my frank take on how to understand them in real world terms, and how you can recognise them from your own life experiences.
