Tamara Thiessen: Journalist Travel Writer

Tamara Thiessen Travels

Tamara Thiessen Travels reports on major world news affecting travelers plus great trips, travel tips, hotels, design and sustainable travel. In my almost non-stop global roaming as a journalist and travel writer, I have reported on just about every subject matter on the planet. From the best kway teow noodles in Malaysia to cycling super highways in Copenhagen. Trekking on the trail of orangutans in Borneo to the latest and greatest design centric restaurants in Paris. And among my latest groundbreaking subjects as the need to preserve the planet as travellers spirals is a story on net zero carbon hotels for CNN.

Me on a blissful Borneo upriver trip on the trail of orangutans. My happy place in nature!

As I see the need for climate action on every level — at home and away — these are the subjects that inspire me and make me feel meaningful as a writer. For me, it’s an inescapable truth and a need to probe the intersection of travel writing and sustainability. Anything less would be flippant and irresponsible – and we can have guilt free luxury in a sustainable travel world. Just feed your eyes on some of the hotels in this net zero story to see that!

Please come walk with me – as I continue to roam the world. And talk with me too … There is nothing I love more than the connections. And they are equally important to staying in touch and ensuring one’s ideas are relevant.

Nothing like not staying at home … This is heaven!

You can find me on Instagram too, as well as hanging off cliffs in Sweden
