Emese Maczko, Founder, Editor-In-Chief
Hi, I am a syndicated travel writer and advocate of ecotourism and green travel. I have been exploring Europe, the US, Indonesia, and Australia during the many years I have traveled. Having resided in Hungary, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg, I got to experience diverse cultures and rich landscapes. During those travels, I found it hard to find eco-friendly accommodations. Even if searching all over the internet, there was not one dedicated place where you could browse through only the most sustainable eco-lodges. And this is where the inspiration came to create Eco-Lodges Anywhere.
Professionally, I am syndicated travel writer. My articles have been published among others in Fortune Magazine, Euronews Travel, Euronews Green, Fox, NBC, CBS, abc, National Herald, The San Francisco Examiner, and The Indiana Gazette among others. You can read all my news articles here. You can see my full portfolio on MuckRack and on TravMedia.
I am also a Contributor to Forbes and a Newsbreak direct publisher.
Fun facts about me. I love watching Korean dramas and reading good books in my free time. I love visiting open air museums and historic buildings that showcase how people lived in different eras. I also love skiing. I won several medals in local and state championships during high school.
What are Eco-lodges?
We don’t use the term “eco-lodges” lightly. We understand that this word has been over-used and misused in a lot of ways, especially since there is no widely accepted and agreed definition for it. We plan to change that by providing clear guidelines and rules with which accommodations listed on this website comply. Here is how we define eco-lodges, and you can be sure that we follow it to the T.
Eco-lodges are accommodations in undisturbed, remote natural areas where both construction and operation have the lowest impact possible on the environment. They are not only part of the local community, but they are active participants in protecting nature and culturally sensitive areas.
