Lise Tyrrell has spent over 20 years turning her love for tropical getaways into a mission for sustainable travel. In 2002, she founded Eco-TropicalResorts.com—a platform dedicated to listing sustainable lodges—and later co-created the Online Eco Rating, a simple, budget-friendly certification for lodges to prove their sustainable credentials. She teamed up with Jem Winston, a sustainability pioneer behind Dominica’s 3 Rivers Eco Lodge and Rosalie Forest (both featured on her site), to ensure the system works for real-world travelers and businesses.
When she’s not exploring rainforests or testing reusable travel gear, Lise shares practical tips to help you vacation sustainably—without sacrificing adventure. Think of her as your sustainably conscious friend with a knack for finding hidden gems that love the planet as much as you do.
