After graduating with a Geography degree and PhD in glaciers, she leant into her passion to help people plan their own expeditions as well as travel adventurously and independently and became a full-time expedition leader, being a qualified International Mountain Leader and Mountaineering Instructor (MIC).
She’s led over 40 expeditions in places such as Chile, Madagascar, Nepal, Borneo, Zambia, Botswana, India, Tanzania and the Wakhan Corridor, Afghanistan, as well as a personal trip where she returned from Katmandu overland, taking 6 months and only using publicly-available transport.
Her ethos is to travel with minimal impact, while keeping expectations realistic. We discussed the impact humans are having on the world, and that even a global lockdown managed to reduce carbon emissions by 7-20%. Massive change is required, yet this doesn’t have to leave us feeling overwhelmed. Becky shares how we can still go out exploring, and just make sure we do our best with the resources available to us.
