📰Weekend read: According to the last census, over 600 Asiatic lions exist in the wild—and they’re in India's Gir National Park.
Megan Gilbert takes the night train from Mumbai to see these magnificent animals and find out more about the lions’ future. adventure.com/world-last-wil…
This is wild, but I have my 1st publication in @Adventurecom all about India's Gir National Park, the last home of wild Asiatic Lions. 🦁🇮🇳

Let’s get Loken a camera! 📸🐅

As FT travelers in Africa and Asia, we daily see inequality and need, but none has quite touched my heart like Loken. ❤️
Loken is a 24-year-old husband, father, guide, and aspiring wildlife photographer in Nepal. – at Nepal
We want Loken to have the camera he deserves, so he can beautifully capture the wild beauty of Bardiya National Park. 📸🐅🍃

In Nepal, the monthly salary of a safari guide isn’t much, making it near impossible to buy a +$4,300 camera and lens necessary for wildlife photography.
But that’s where community comes in. 🫶🏻 – at Nepal
He’s kind, thoughtful, brave, and caring. He’s also a talented photographer. 📸✨
Tragically, Loken’s 16-year-old camera has a broken lens, but he still tries to capture the beauty of the wildlife he sees. – at Nepal
He daily risks his life, so crazy travelers like us can see tigers, rhinos, and elephants in the wild. 🐅🦏🐘
Not only that but he’s single-handedly scared off wild tigers, rhinos, and elephants more times than he can remember, saving lives in the process. – at Nepal
My most serious journalistic work yet - trying McDonald's in Vietnam and comparing it to the US. It's tough work, but someone has to do it. 🇻🇳🍔🇺🇸

Makomborero was the last stop on my southern Africa road trip, and I’m so glad I visited. 🇿🇼✨ Meet this fantastic org. ensuring Zimbabwe’s brightest, most promising students (mainly girls) receive the education they deserve. ❤️🎓 – at Harare, Zimbabwe
I had the honor of telling my travel story with Shannon Strong on her Why We Travel Podcast. 🌏❤️ I talked about associating fear with some of the best decisions in my life - like moving to Cape Town! And why fear might be a signal for something good. 🎧: linktr.ee/whywetravel – at Cape Town, South Africa
I had so much fun being a guest on the Why We Travel podcast hosted by @clauslauter, talking everything Cape Town from an itinerary for first-timers to budgeting your trip, the best eats, and township tourism. 🇿🇦❤️ 🎧Listen here: whywetravel.net/cape-town-so… – at Cape Town, South Africa
From August to October, I traveled around southern Africa, covering NPOs doing amazing work. One of them was @polfoundation and Matero Care Center. I'm happy to share it as a digital storytelling piece for @ONECampaign! 🌍❤️ – at Lusaka, Zambia
In Matero, a township in Zambia, @polfoundation and the Matero Care Center are helping women and children impacted by HIV/AIDS by providing them with the tools necessary to provide for their families.
Here’s a closer look at how. 👇
