Planning a trip to Latin America? I’m here to help
I’m Steph, a travel journalist, guidebook author and the brains behind Worldly Adventurer. Most importantly, I’m a Latin America expert.

I’ve traveled extensively around Latin America, living in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia and spending months in Argentina and Costa Rica – and written multiple guidebooks about the region, too.
