Ms. Neus Crous-Costa is currently a researcher and lecturer at Girona University in Girona, Spain.
As a researcher and lecturer, she is now at the crossroads of tourism studies, humanities, and personal transformation, as a result of her earlier career in cultural tourism and tourism management in museums, while volunteering in education for adults and refugees. She also engages in academic activism. Although in the past she has had the opportunity to travel and live on different continents, at the moment she is choosing slower forms of mobility. This lowers her ecological footprint, but even more importantly it is a creative endeavour to engage differently with the world around her.
