ABOUT
Hi, I´m Sarah.
Little did I know it at the time, but a career in tourism was decided upon as I watched the sunrise over the Montserrat mountains in Spain on a school exchange at the age of 16. A degree in Hispanics at Liverpool University took me to Chile just four years later, and a decade of tour leading across the Latin American continent immediately followed. After staying in so many unimaginably cool hotels and hostels, my own backpackers place was born at the foot of an active volcano in southern Chile...
There is so much information online about how to survive this pandemic. You don't have the time to piece together the most proactive solutions for your business.
The word resilience might not have been at the forefront of your mind before now. But then the world changed. Covid-19 has many industries backed into a corner. Tourism virtually collapsed overnight. We can't change or ignore it; we can only move forward. Small hotel and hostel owners and managers are faced with impossible decisions. The aim of this site is to pull valuable information together to provide proactive downloadable resources all in one place. Facebook groups and online forums are bursting with concerns and worries. The teacher in me wants to put it into order, and my passion for tourism compels me to do my bit. To make a difference, however small.
