NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️

Episode 93: Marinel de Jesus, Sara Frenning & Expanding Opportunities for Women Guides & Porters

Now live on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere. (Link in bio).

On this episode: small successes, women porters, and the Himalaya. We’re talking with Marinel de Jesus and Sara Frenning about the Porter Voice Collective and their project for the first women-led trek on the Great Himalaya Trail.

Marinel is a digital nomad, founder of Brown Gal Trekker, Equity Global Treks and The Porter Voice Collective, where Sara is a researcher. Both joined us from Nepal, which is the longest distance we’ve recorded a show from to date.

The Porter Voice Collective is comprised of porter voices from Nepal’s Himalayan Trails, Peru’s Camino Inca and Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro. PVC is a media platform that aims to tell the true stories of porters and their lives on the trails. PVC utilizes storytelling as a means to create advocacy towards the creation of WORKFORCE EQUITY TOURISM which ensures that companies and the industry as a whole respect the basic human rights of porters and adhere to equitable treatment of all individuals who work in the trekking tourism industry.

In this Episode
* KM 82: The Porter Voices of Peru’s Camino Inca – a documentary project of The Porter Voice Collective
* Great Himalaya Trail Campaign
* Fundraiser for the Great Himalaya Trail trek
