Costas Christ Worldwide
Costas set out on his first trip at age two, looking for a flock of wild ducks that he saw land in the Toms River, near his New Jersey home. He disappeared out the back door of his house and was found seven hours later, walking near the river, and returned to his worried Greek-American mother. Today, Costas is an award-winning travel writer and Editor at Large for National Geographic Traveler. He is one of the world’s pioneers of ecotourism (he helped to officially define the term) and is an internationally renowned expert in sustainable tourism, traveling to over 100 countries, including some of the most remote wilderness areas and archeological sites on Earth, home to vanishing cultures and endangered species. He believes that tourism, properly planned and managed, can be a powerful opportunity for protecting nature and sustaining the well being of local communities. It is a message that is helping to transform travel and tourism globally. He appears frequently on television and radio, with appearances on NBC Today Show, Good Morning America, National Public Radio, Travel Channel, CNN, and BBC, to share his insights on places to go and how to have the trip of a lifetime while also helping to protect the planet. When not exploring the world, he spends his time at home in Maine on an organic blueberry farm |
