Nipaphon Leacher - Environmental Educator
​
Hello, I am Miza. I come from Chiang Rai, in the northern part of Thailand. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in the English Program. I was born in the countryside and grew up in a mountainous city, which is a tourist attraction village. This upbringing has made me passionate about traveling and living with nature. I also completed an internship with Traidhos Camp in 2020, which inspired me to learn more about environmental sustainability. After graduating from university, I started working at an international school in my hometown. I love joining outdoor activities and challenging myself. That's why I decided to further my learning and knowledge development.
​
Now, I am a part of the Traidhos Barge team, and it has been a year since I started working here to learn and share my knowledge about the natural environment. I am excited to meet you and hope that we can learn and enjoy the experience together!

Hi, my name is Charlotte and I'm from the UK, Newcastle to be precise, up in the North East where it is nice and cold. I studied marine zoology at Newcastle University and have since worked in science communication. But my love for exploration and outreach (and animals big and small), I found myself coming to join the Barge program. To share that experience with likeminded people and share my excitement for our amazing planet with the next generation.

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.
