Hi there, my name is Dayana and I’m a proud Australian-born Chilean living in Sydney, Australia, on Cammeraygal Country. My life journey began in Wollongong, where living by the beach taught me nature's wild and expansive reach.
With over 20 years in travel management and more than fifteen years advocating for sustainability in business, I know first-hand the impacts of the global crisis on our industries, and none will be greater than the effects of global warming. Our society is interconnected and uses vast resources, leading me to question their environmental impact and how to bring change.
Years later, as a parent of two small children, I couldn't ignore the growing environmental impacts. I finally admitted to the reality that my travel company was contributing to our increasing climate crisis at the time, and I was letting it happen. I no longer wanted to be a part of the problem; instead, I realised solutions and began advocating for sustainability awareness with peers and clients.
In 2016, I started my own company, The Sustainable Traveller. The mission? To raise sustainability awareness in travel through low-emission trips that use local suppliers and dollars that go directly to the communities.
Then COVID-19 happened. I lost my business and my way of life and again questioned if there was more I could be doing for our planet. I soon found myself at university, and in October 2023, I am proud to say I completed a Master of Sustainability with the University of Sydney.
My mission is simple: to live intentionally, share knowledge generously and mentor others for sustainability.
As a passionate sustainability change agent, I see the problems and the solutions. I’m proud to bring a scientific approach to research and methods to strategies, policies and behavioural change initiatives. To initiate awareness, drive change and implement long-lasting impacts. I work with businesses and leaders in travel, tourism and management. My approach involves footprint analysis, strategy and aligning goals and targets with a framework or certification.
Sustainability is for everyone.
I offer research, consultation, strategies, footprint calculations, mentoring, and presentations and prepare your business for certification. I particularly want to provide services to micro and small businesses, executive leaders, and decision-makers. Everyone must understand sustainability and how to incorporate it into business to do better.
