Episode 14 - Annabel Upson: Small Ripples, Big Waves

Travel Bubble

This week’s episode is with Annabel Upson, a travel industry professional who strongly believes in sustainable travel, with her company motto being ‘small ripples make big waves’. Episode 14 touches on that topic, as well as her passion for animals. From how whale poo can fight against climate change, to penguins and sloths in South America, and even learning to ride a horse like a true Gaucho.

Annabel has been fortunate enough to explore much of the globe from childhood adventurous holidays to round-the-world backpacking as an adult. Now co-founder and director of sustainable tourism company, Travelling Whale, she provides some of the best places to visit to not only make memories but to ensure a positive impact is made on that country.

We discuss zip lining above the cloud forest, impressive ski resorts around the world, immersive travel and a whole lot more
