Miza L – Environmental Educator
Hello! I'm Miza from a beautiful mountainous area in northern Thailand. Growing up close to nature inspired my passion for the environment, travel, and outdoor learning.
I’ve now been part of the Traidhos Barge team for 3 years, where I enjoy learning, sharing, and connecting people with nature. I’m excited to meet you and share this journey of exploration and discovery together!
Khamphee - Environmental Educator
​
Hello, I'm Khamphee and I'm from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since exploring places and nature is my favorite thing, I'm here working with Barge, as I can share my knowledge with the students I work with. I always love it when learners have fun visiting places and realizing that there is nothing to be scared of in nature.
Suwanan Sally - Environmental Educator
​
Hello, my name is Sally. I am 23 years old. I graduated from Payap University, a private university in northern Thailand. I grew up in a family of farmers surrounded by nature. However, during the 12 years I spent studying in the city, I was away from nature. When I had the opportunity to intern for 4 months and participate in a summer camp with Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning, I became more interested in learning about nature and the environment. It felt like I was reconnecting with something I was close to when I was a child. Currently, I am part of the Traidhos Three-Generation Barge Program, and I am excited to learn more and share my knowledge with the new generation for a sustainable future for our world.

Hi! I’m Oscar, from the UK. I am trained as a school teaching assistant specialising in working with SEND (Special Education Needs and Disabilities) students, and am a recent graduate from the University of East Anglia, where I studied literature and creative writing.

​
Hi everyone! My name is Don. I come from Tak, where I live in a small village that takes care of elephants. I studied at Maejo University and spent four months learning and working at Traidhos Three Generation Community. I also joined the Traidhos Summer Camp 2025.
I really love nature—waterfalls, mountains, and walking in the forest. It makes me happy. Now I am part of the Barge team and I want to share my stories and experiences with you, so you can see how amazing and beautiful nature is.
​
Hi! My name is Maya and I am a Science Communicator from the UK. Growing up in a seaside town, I have always been fascinated with the ocean and wildlife. After moving to Bristol and completing a biology degree and a Masters in science communication, I have found my passion of making science more accessible and inspiring. The Barge Program combines nature education and travel brilliantly, two things that I value highly in life and love to share with others. In my spare time you will either find me up a mountain, under the waves, or eating exciting new food!
Angelo - Environmental Educator
​
South Italy was the place where Angelo was born and raised. After receiving his degree, his desire to travel the world led him through Australia, Southeast Asia, and Central America. During his journey in Thailand, he discovered a deep interest in nature, especially gardening and farming. He lived in a self-sufficient project named Thamturakit, where he learned Thai-permaculture techniques and embraced a self-reliant lifestyle. Through these experiences, Angelo developed a strong appreciation for local wisdom, traditional knowledge, and the value of local food systems. Over time, he also found his passion for education—sharing these lessons with others and inspiring young people to reconnect with the natural world. His dream is to establish a Forest School, where children can learn, grow, and thrive in harmony with nature.
Dang Tan Phuc - Environmental Educator
​
Hi, my name is Phuc.
I have been working with children since 2017, and it has truly been a life-changing journey. I began my career with Outward Bound Vietnam, then continued as a Camp Counselor at Camp Augusta in the United States.
Working with children in the outdoors has taught me how to learn with the same curiosity and openness as they do. It has helped me reconnect with my inner child and deepen my connection with nature.
I’m passionate about creating meaningful outdoor experiences where children can grow, explore, and discover themselves. I hope my knowledge and experience can help every child who joins the Barge program have a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience in nature.
​
Hi! My name is Asia. I grew up in Bangkok where I attended ICS and have recently graduated from Messiah University in the USA with a degree in Organismal Biology and Chemistry. I love being outdoors and I am passionate about wildlife science, conservation, and animal behavior. After completing my university degree in the USA, I am very excited to be back home in Bangkok! I am looking forward to exploring new places and helping students grow in their understanding of the environment.
