This episode I chat with the ultimate traveller who went from being the party guide in Europe to coordinating house builds in 3rd world countries,  Kristin has made it her goal to do what she loves and be a humble, change maker.

Kristin and I have a quick catch up on our party days (and how we have 'grown up' now), then we get down to business with what she has been up to.  Her story starts with getting her bags stolen in Europe, having to do a bit of free labour then requesting a transfer to a gig in South East Asia. 

We discuss how tourism benefits the lives of communities and how we have a great opportunity to return to tourism in a much more sustainability way. 

The topic of waste management over in Siem Reap comes up and how having no waste collection infrastructure leaves a lot of communities in a sticky situation. But things are looking up for the future, with the younger generations having access to so much more than their parents did.

We finish off with diving into the work that she is doing with the NGO Writing Through and how it has opened up an opportunity for a lot of people to gain skills that are not taught in the education system.

This episode was super inspiring and a good kick up the bum to consider others more in your decisions.
