Hi, I'm Greta

In 2022, my partner and I packed our lives into a storage unit in South London and left with no return ticket. Our goal is to stay in places a bit longer, to understand them deeper: the people, culture, history, and what it means to travel kindly and slowly.

I'm a climate scientist who loves traveling. I'm on a journey to figure out how the two can work together, and how to make traveling more sustainable and mindful.

It's lovely to have you here — welcome!

Notes from the road

I share what it's like to travel and live out of a carry-on: crossing the Namibian desert in a car that has no business being off tarmac, or arriving at an ancient temple in Angkor before sunrise, with no one there but us.

I travel slowly, giving each place the time and attention it rightly deserves.

Somewhere over Iran in the middle of the night, while most of the cabin was asleep, I looked out of the window and saw Tehran. From 35,000 feet, the city looked like a vast, glittering carpet of light, an entire city bustling with life underneath us.

Everything I owned was in a warehouse in south London, and there was no return ticket in my bag.

Services & collaborations

I work with travel and tourism organizations, consumer brands, tech companies, and editors. If you need climate-informed analysis or honest video content, let's talk.

UGC

What makes someone stop scrolling and decide to buy? I come from B2B sales, so I build that answer into every script.

Writing

I write about travel with a climate scientist's eye: what a trip actually costs the place you visit.

Consulting

I'm a certified sustainability auditor with an MSc in Climate Change from UCL. I help travel and tourism businesses find out whether their green claims hold up.
