Mad Monkey is a backpacker hostel chain in Southeast Asia, and Claire is their communications director. They currently have 7 hostels throughout Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, and Australia.
Claire lived in Canada for most of her life before she caught the travel bug and started traveling the world, eventually settling down in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where she’s lived for the last two years.
Some of what we talked about:
- Why she felt out of place in Canada
- How her first trip to Europe affected her world view
- Her year teaching English in Korea
- How she got her job at mad monkey
- The “party hostel” reputation that Mad Monkey has
- A day in her life
