Christine Mackay has dedicated her life to working and volunteering in environmental education, outdoor recreation, community development and eco-tourism. Her love of international travel and her concern about the negative effects of tourism on culture and environment, led her to co-found Crooked Trails- a non-profit community based travel organization in 1998. At Crooked Trails, Chris helped found the Travelers Against Plastic (TAP) Campaign whose goal is to galvanize a global movement aimed at the near elimination of travelers' dependence on disposable plastic water bottles. Chris holds an MA in Natural Science Education and a BA in Geography and as well as a minor in Biology. She resides in Seattle, Washington with her 8-year-old daughter. The two of them travel together frequently.
