Claire Prest is co-Founder of Grass Routes in Orissa, India. Claire first featured on Make Travel Fair back in August last year when we featured her article Grass Routes Journeys: Allowing The Soul To Breathe.
Since then we’ve been syndicating the Grass Routes blog and publishing a selection of her writing. Claire has recently been featured by The Next Women Business magazine as a Female Internet Hero.
“Unfortunately in India few women are involved in the tourism industry (except for cottage industries). There is still a lot of stigma attached to befriending foreigners, which is a real shame. We encourage women to participate and often enjoy their culinary skills in rural villages! Funnily enough its in tribal and rural villages where we find the strongest women. Urban centres can’t cope with the rapid change.”
