By age ten, Fuchsia had already visited 30 countries and knew how to say ‘I’m a vegetarian’ in 12 languages. After school she ran away to the jungles of Costa Rica, spending 18 months living in harmony with sloths and toucans, where she worked as a river guide, helping troubled youth re-wild and re-build their self-esteem. Here she discovered the true power of adventure – to help us grow and develop as individuals, whilst giving back to the people and places we visit.
Having spent the last decade juggling marketing and mountains, topographic maps and technology, Fuchsia finally found her calling as co-founder of the Adventure Junky App – Earth’s Sustainable Travel Game.
Fuchsia is a travel tech entrepreneur, a full stack marketer and the public face and spokesperson of the Adventure Junky Brand, regularly speaking as a Keynote and MC of events - from corporates, to hardcore adventures, women's groups, school and university students. Fuchsia also presents on radio, television and film.
Fuchsia has a degree in International Marketing and the Experience Economy. In 2019 Fuchsia embarked on a PhD expedition, her focus: Responsible Adventure Travel fused with deep tech to minimise the negative impacts of Overtourism.
With literally billions of travellers circling the planet every year, Fuchsia and her team are on a mission to positively influence the future of travel and enhance the overall wellbeing of our planet. In July 2017 Adventure Junky became a B Corp, so they really walk the talk.
