Mike Macleod
Born in 1969, Mike spent his earliest years living in Hong Kong and latterly in the south of Spain. Educated in the London home counties, he decided to study Information Technology at Brighton university, subsequently working in in Edinburgh, bolstering his computer skills and gaining useful financial management experience.
With a change of career tack in 1992, Mike decided to move to Madrid, where he stayed for six years learning Spanish, teaching English (TEFL), web designing and tutoring at Spain's very first internet café, La Ciberteca. A return to London in 1998 led to four years running a multimedia company, but the lure of sunny Spain and overseas opportunities resulted in a move to Valencia in 2002. Here Mike co-founded web design outfit, Webroot, together with Ana Santos, his partner in an ecotourism holidays and events organisation, called Light Visions, which they had formed two years earlier.
After leading three successful eco-holiday tours in Ibiza with Greenheart collaboration, Mike moved to Ibiza in the summer of 2006 to be permanently based at the Greenheart ecological centre, Casita Verde.
In October 2009, Mike commenced a trip to the Americas to take the message of Greenheart to foreign shores and to connect up with other ecological centres and natural sites whilst travelling. See more info on Mike's blog: www.2012.es
