Steph is a travel journalist. guidebook author and long-time addict of everything Latin America. She first moved to the continent back in 2014 on a “let’s-escape-teaching” whim, when she quit her job as a secondary school teacher in the UK. She got stuck in – and fell deeply in love with – Latin America and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since then, she’s spent years heading into the recesses of this remarkable continent, while living in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. Along the way, she’s written for publications including National Geographic Traveller, Lonely Planet, CNN, and The Independent, as she promotes sustainable and responsible travel experiences.
