My passions
I love storytelling. I started writing Diary of Muzungu in 2008 and now contribute to international travel guides (Fodor’s, SafariBookings.com, Bradt).
In 2024 I launched season 1 of The East Africa Travel Podcast inspired by life on the edge of Kibale Forest, a tropical rainforest that’s famous for its 13 species of primate. Nature and birdsong, travel inspiration and upbeat conservation stories are at the heart of the podcast 
We’re now finalising Season 2 – the next 20 episodes. (One of the episodes is all about STAS24).
“The day job”
I am a Chartered Institute of Marketing Manager; co-developer of CBI’s digital marketing curriculum since 2021; member of the team piloting CBI’s sustainable tourism curriculum in Uganda and a community-based tourism trainer. I do pro bono promotion for a number of conservation organisations from my home on the edge of Kibale National Park in western Uganda.
The annual STTA Summit offers untold learning and networking opportunities. In my day to day work, I regularly reflect on the new approaches I have learned from this welcoming and supportive community.
This inspiration has encouraged me to dedicate myself further to promoting sustainable and responsible tourism on my podcast. In 2025, this led to my East Africa Travel Podcast winning the Media for Action Award courtesy of ATTA, the African Travel and Tourism Association.
It’s an honour to be associated with such committed teams as STAS and ATTA. I look forward to learning more.
