One reason. For the animals.

True intention means thought behind every decision. Because every decision we make has an impact.
And I want my impact to be a positive one.
On the land and the animals.

Nothing here is accidental.
Reclaimed. Repurposed. Responsible.
If this place is going to stand for something,
it has to start with how it’s being built.

Most places are built to take. This one is built to give.

It begins here.
Wild soil in Hiriketiya, close enough to walk barefoot to the beach. Quiet enough to hear the wind in the trees.

No resort coming here. No business.
Something more.
For the planet. For the animals.
For the ones who know we must do more.

I’ve been quiet, but not idle.
Backpack down, for now, building something that matters.

A nonprofit, sustainable hostel.
A space to connect and give back.
Designed for the planet. And powered by purpose - the animals.

This is the true meaning of Beyond the Backpack.
For the animals.

One of the most important humans to ever grace our planet. A tireless advocate for the truly voiceless, wildlife and nature. A trailblazer and a hero. But words will never capture the incredible work to which she dedicated her life.

Rest easy Ms Jane, you’ve earned it. The world is a little less bright without you. 🕊️
