Shafik Meghji@shafikmeghji.bsky.social · 10mo ago📖 Thanks to everyone who came to my talk about #SmallEarthquakes at the Book Elephant last night, expertly chaired by the brilliant @karennedwards.bsky.social. Great questions and a enjoyably wide-ranging discussion about travel writing, South America and lost histories 🌎
Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.
An action shot from last night’s panel discussion at the Inspire Global Media Awards. Really enjoyed chatting to @karennedwards.bsky.social, Pippa Jacks & @richardgehammond.bsky.social about progressive travel storytelling. Congratulations to all the winners 🎉 #IGMAs #positiveimpacttorytelling
Lovely Quito. Finally had a chance to spend some proper time in the Ecuadorian capital and fell a little in love 💛
This assault on universities is an attack on free speech & academic freedom. It's also going to result in the increased privatizing of university research funds. Here's just one example of how that can warp the information ecosystem, from @sarasneath.bsky.social drilled.media/news/bp-univ...
Fossil-funded Academic Work Is Being Used to Avoid Paying Workers Impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Explosion

Alright, so. I got, well, hacked isn't the right word and identity theft isnt quite right either. But I definitely got screwed over via the internet and there are some things you can do to know what's happening and ideally prevent it (1/N)
This was such an interesting piece to write, not least because I was able to speak to inspiring people leading the work to reduce climate/environmental impacts at European ski resorts. Yet, the bottom line remains the same - we must move away from fossil fuel use. www.timeout.com/travel/is-sk...
Does climate change mean the end for skiing holidays?
As ski resorts are facing reduced snowfall and a shorter ski season, is adapting to climate change possible?

I haven’t said much publicly about the podcast I’ve done with @BBCSounds & the great @GeorgiaJCatt yet. But it’s a creepy story about how creepy technology is used to creep out a young woman, my former stepdaughter, Hannah. But that’s only the beginning 1/ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

When planning your trips this year, it’s well worth considering the countries being uplifted by tourism. Mostly, I hope this will be the year that we listen and give space to those impacted by overtourism www.timeout.com/travel/count...

I took the Caledonian Sleeper to Aberdeen last year and found that the journey itself was such a highlight (view = 💯 and I slept SO well). Have had a lot of people asking about the sleeper train experience, so put this together to answer those questions www.wanderlustmagazine.com/inspiration/...

Almost two years into the war, Sudan is facing anarchy, famine, genocide – and ambivalence from the rest of the world Sudan’s war, which began in April 2023, is closing in on its second year. No one expects or becomes accustomed to war, but it is…

Some memories from Antarctica on #AntarcticaDay. Was fortunate to visit for the first time 10 years ago. This was where my learning around climate change and Earth systems truly began

Recently returned from a month travelling in Australia’s Northern Territory and Far North Queensland, where most of our experiences were led by Indigenous tour guides, artists, and fishermen. What a difference it makes in understanding a country when you learn from First Nations communities 💙
