Today we speak with Steph Dyson. She is a bilingual travel journalist and blogger, who has spent the last decade reporting on adventure travel and sustainability in Latin America.
She reported for CNN, National Geographic Traveller, Lonely Planet and The Telegraph.
She's covered everything from how tourism is being used to heal the scars of civil war in Colombia to investigating why pumas are being protected by the ranchers that formerly hunted them in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.
Steph is the author of the Moon Chile guidebook, to be published in June 2025.
Her website, Worldly Adventurer, has over one million annual readers. The website helps travelers plan sustainable adventures to Latin America.

“…A black fedora obscured his eyes, yet the angle of his head suggested him to be peering fixedly at the ground to the right of his rubber sandals, spellbound by nothingness. Theirs was a confident, practiced weight. Hours could be spent staring into the mid-distance, eyes squinting into the fierce Andean sun.…”
