The Republic of Ireland
May 2025 - Although not in sequence, the experiences here capture my husband's and my time in the Irish Republic this summer. Dublin is the city that first greeted us and will be the city we say our final goodbyes.
Welcome!
Catherine Evans is an educator, consultant, entrepreneur, and explorer with over 35 years of local and international experience including building nature discovery programs for zoos, museums, aquariums, and educational institutions. I worked as the lead and co-lead on a wide array of business and community projects for the Sunshine Coast Canada, and international destinations in Latin America and Asia.
The tourism industry has shifted post-pandemic, and in the wake of shifting environmental and cultural landscapes. I am keenly interested in the emerging trends found in community-based tourism and how sustainable practices lessen the impact on the places, wildlife, and peoples.
Currently, I'm developing and teaching graduate-level curricula for the next generation of industry talent. And, I enjoy writing ‘Stories’ that focus on Green development, Nature and Wildlife, and Culture and Communities
