Frank Axton

Frank spent 12 years as an environmental engineer assessing watershed projects across Central America before trading spreadsheets for trail maps. He's reported from over 40 conservation lodges, carbon-neutral resorts, and community reforestation sites—always asking the uncomfortable question: does this actually help?

His writing focuses on eco-tourism, voluntourism, and conservation travel, with a bias toward places where tourism dollars reach local hands. He's skeptical of greenwashing and won't recommend a property just because it has a recycling bin.

Based in Costa Rica. Travels with a refillable water bottle and too many field guides.
