Hello, I’m Hyacinth, and my journey into travel planning came straight out of my professional background in Environmental Health. I love traveling the world, but the negative environmental impact of tourism weighs on me constantly. The development of tourism infrastructure (building resorts, marinas, and golf courses) is a primary driver of coastal degradation, contributing to the loss of vital ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs

The existential risk to global wonders—like the Great Barrier Reef, which is rapidly deteriorating due to bleaching, and Machu Picchu, which is suffering from severe erosion due to overtourism—motivates every trip I plan. My commitment is to ensure that when you visit these magnificent, fragile places, your trip funds the regenerative tourism necessary to help preserve them for the future.

The travel industry has inconsistent and non-uniform environmental standards, making it impossible for travelers to book with confidence. My solution? Green Travels with Hya.

I Vet the Trip,

You Enjoy the Vacation.

You shouldn't have to choose between luxury and a clear conscience. I take on the heavy lifting of research and vetting so you don't have to. I am your personal sustainable travel expert, ensuring your trip supports genuine sustainability.

Free water at check-in isn't a perk if it's in a plastic bottle and all-you-can-eat breakfast buffets generate avoidable food waste. I seek out climate-friendly accommodations, transportation, and activities with third-party certifications.

I'll take care of vetting the details, so that you can have a guilt-free trip. I actively support carbon removal solutions and provide my clients with clear options to offset their travel, ensuring we take responsibility for our footprint together.
