An award-winning former journalist turned serial entrepreneur, Paul co-founded Context Travel, a category-defining, B-Corp Certified experiential travel company, and Cicero Learning, public-benefit startup that connects learners with teachers for one-to-one courses. As a journalist Paul has written extensively about sustainable travel, winning a Lowell Thomas Award for his work with National Geographic and sitting on Nat Geo’s Sustainable Destinations Panel.
