Global Oneness Project

In 2006, it was a trip to Africa that changed my perception of travel and environmental conservation. I traveled with 40 women to East Africa to participate in the Grassroots Women’s Conference in Kenya, coordinated with Global Partners for Development.  Two weeks in Kenya and Tanzania still resonate deep in my heart.  Seeing the vast, open beauty in Africa ignited a new awareness to respect and support our planet. I hope to travel throughout the world as much as possible, but with a commitment to travel responsibly, contributing to and supporting each destination she visits.  As an advocate for ecotourism I volunteer with my community’s environmental organizations to contribute to local efforts of eco-awareness and conservation. 

In 2007 I created the concept for my website, www.EcoTravelConnections.com to enlighten and encourage people about traveling in an “eco friendly” way.  My blog, “Ramblin’ On” presents my complete portfolio of writing: articles and stories promoting eco travel to the Napa Valley Wine Country, California and the U.S.,  and other essays.

I am also a member of the blog team on ResponsibleTravelNews.com, a website that disseminates news and issues concerning ecotourism.  As the American correspondent my purpose is to raise awareness for people to enjoy what their own local environments have to offer; also highlighting destinations, activities and information so that eco travelers can find and match their values of responsible travel  with their travel and leisure excursions.
