Karoline is currently pursuing a marketing major at Emory University. She spent the past summer exploring methods to improve sustainability of the beaches of Rhode Island. Being born and raised in the Northeast, she is enjoying the different lifestyle of now living in Georgia. She is passionate about both travel and sustainability, and therefore is very excited to be a part of the Green Global Travel team.

Meredith recently returned to her hometown in the San Francisco Bay Area after a year of traveling across Africa, Europe, and North America. Some of the highlights of her trip include hiking Mt. Kenya, learning about community-based conservation in Africa, and seeing the changing leaves in New England for the first time. Next, Meredith hopes to travel to India and Southeast Asia. She graduated from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada where she majored in Political Science and African Studies, and minored in perpetual rain defense strategies. While traveling, and in her spare time, Meredith is an avid photographer and adventurous foodie. She is excited to be able to combine her passion for sustainable travel and development with her interest in blogging and social media here at Green Global Travel!
