E8 — Solo Adventures
Stephanie’s passionate love affair with exploring the great outdoors has remained constant throughout her whole life, stemming from her childhood growing up in rural Canada.
Since she first left home at 17, Stephanie has travelled throughout the Arctic, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Surviving warzones and teaching students along the way, today she encourages women to explore the world and remember that the journey is just as important as the destination.
As you read this, 65 year old Stephanie is currently on a three month solo expedition kayaking one thousand miles through the Yukon River.
