Stephanie Riedl

Travel objectives: Stephanie wants to explore places with both abundant biodiversity and a strong indigenous presence. She plans to spend her time outside, biking, backpacking, swimming, and exploring bioluminescent and geothermal features. Stephanie hopes to build new relationships and challenge her ideas about the world while exploring new communities and environments. Because we leave a footprint everywhere we go, she would like to be intentional about where she spends time and money, and hopes to foster exploration based on foundations of respect, responsibility, reciprocity, and accountability. Her destinations include Mexico (Chiapas), Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Palau, Indonesia, and Iceland.
