🇻🇳 I AM BACK IN VIETNAM! 🇻🇳
(and ready to continue the wildlife education mission!)
It feels so great to be here in Vietnam again to start this next chapter in life after many fond, proud and incredible memories of my time here before.
Almost 7 years ago I was astounded by the friendship, support and passion communities and individuals shared with me on my journey to raise awareness of the plastic pollution plaguing Vietnam’s coastlines.
In 2019 my beach cleaning movement went viral across the country and at the time we achieved the biggest beach clean in Asia in the tiny fishing town of Vinh Luong. It was then and there on the day I gave my emotional final speech after 10 days of sweat, toil and finally tears of joy my extended mission to bring awareness to protecting oceans was born!
Over these past 7 years I have toured countries by bicycle in East Africa, Indonesia and the UK bringing ocean education to schools and organising an insatiable amount of clean events! I then managed conservation outreach programs ranging from river trash barrier installations, mangrove reforestation events and coral restoration projects. I have created bitesize YouTube videos for OceanHero on topics ranging from Marine Protected Areas to Whale Sharks, Plastic Up-cycling and Sustainable Sea W**d Farming and the most simple and important thing I have learned over this time is that:
Humans, no matter what age they are, nationality, culture or interests are fascinated, curious, in awe and (though sometimes not explicit) value the natural world wholly. We just need better access to it and this is my updated mission today.
I am truly excited and full of ideas of how I can not only still raise awareness of the beauty, magic and bizarness of oceans but of wild places and spaces and indigenous and traditional lives too. I aim to create more content, host educational talks, events and bring people together to continue the great work that organisations like Gon Xanh, Education for Nature - Vietnam (ENV) have continued to do!
I can’t wait to resume this amazing WILD journey here in Vietnam and get more people amped about nature and create the next generation of explorers, adventurers and conservationists!
I will be updating my page and reaching out to more groups in the coming weeks here in Da Nang so if you are here and you have and Wildlife, people, or business connections I could shoot for my Youtube channel then please send me a DM or email [email protected]
