Megan Frye

Environment-focused journalist, editor and program manager

Brazil

I’m a journalist, storyteller, and translator focused on reimagining the way we move through the world. My work centers on challenging extractive tourism models and promoting regenerative, community-rooted travel, especially across Latin America, where I’ve lived and worked for over a decade. I specialize in low-impact travel, conservation, and respectfully exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations.

In addition to writing, I create and guide immersive retreats and custom itineraries that support small businesses and foster cross-cultural understanding. I also work as a Spanish–English translator, particularly on projects rooted in environmental justice and cultural preservation. My approach is grounded in decolonialization and a commitment to anti-racism, values which shape both the economies I support and the stories I tell.

Hydroelectric dam raises concerns over protection of Puerto Vallarta river

A hydroelectric dam project that will allegedly divert one of Puerto Vallarta's last pure rivers leading from the sierra to the ocean is not only illegal and unethical, local residents say, but reeks of high-level corruption and threatens to further endanger protected flora and fauna in the region.
