Katie Diederichs
In early 2014, Katie and her husband, Ben, quit their full-time jobs and set off on a three-month adventure in South America that never really ended. Along the way, they taught English in South Korea, worked on a remote farm in the Ecuadorian Andes, and trekked to Everest Base Camp. On their travels, they seek good food, interesting culture, and adrenaline-pumping adventures. And whether they’re in a remote village or a modern city, they always aim to travel ethically and leave a small footprint.
