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.

The Urbanist's Guide to Oaxaca

In Oaxaca, Mexico, the weather is always agreeable; open-air markets and sun-faded cantinas line cobblestoned streets; the local cuisine is wildly varied; and, in the past few years, the food and mezcal scenes in particular have really taken off.
