A copy of the book “Routledge International Handbook of Adventure Tourism” edited by Gill Pomfret, Adele Doran and Carl Cater
Highlight of the day (and week!) was being given a copy of this wonderful book, which I had the privilege of indexing and proofreading!
Thanks to the lovely editors for letting me be part of the process, and especially Carl, a fantastic PhD supervisor😁
Sharing this to help out a fellow student researcher!
If you’ve ever visited the Himalayas, especially Nepal, could you spare a few minutes to fill out this survey about sustainable tourism in the region: forms.office.com/pages/respon...
Please note, this is NOT my research, just helping out😁
I will definitely let you know! I fondly remember the few days I spent in Singapore in 2017, so I’m very excited to read your analysis on some of the issues I wasn’t even aware of as a tourist back then, but have since come to be fascinated by. About to start Chapter 2, loving it so far😊
This is a German website and I don't think it's the exact service you're looking for but it's pretty close, might be a good starting point. Its archives begin in 1977 according to the website itself, so maybe it's a later version of the 1930s? www.fernbahn.de/datenbank/su...

Lovely way to end #InternationalMountainDay by attending Other Everests’ online book launch! Can’t wait to read it😊
Again I am reminded what a privilege it is to be able to research something I’m so passionate about.
This year’s obvious highlight was PhD fieldwork on the EBC trail. Other pics of 🇮🇹🇩🇪
Eduroam unironically works the best in random places when I’m travelling, and it’s always through that I find out an educational institution is nearby😅
All of them are so pretty but if I had to pick a favourite, it would be the adorable hedgehog🦔

For PhD students, always this gem by @zjayres.bsky.social
1. Risk and commercialisation in high altitude mountaineering for my PhD🏔️ But more broadly interested in conservation and tourism in protected areas
2. A massive bowl of yoghurt, fruit and granola after a good run🏃♀️
I’ve made a new starter pack to help folks find outdoor and adventure media magazines and websites. Do share and suggest additions.

Can’t wait to read it once the book is out!
I created a starter pack to help those of us new to Bluesky find people interested in #adventure Think everyone from day hikers to hardcore mountaineers.
Help me add to the list by sharing it and suggesting additions. I'll add all reasonable requests 🏔️🛶🏕️

Finally convinced myself to make the switch - while I’m setting up my profile/finding everyone on here, let me introduce myself again: I’m a final-year PhD student researching risk and commercialisation in high altitude mountaineering! I obviously love mountains, and I run a lot in my free time😊
