Guest Bio:
Katie Harris is a Canadian writer and photographer. As a toddler, her parents unwittingly packed her away for a two-month trip in New Zealand and she hasn’t looked back. Living in Mali, Europe, and working coast to coast in Canada’s national parks, Katie is always torn between the balance of appreciation and participation of the places and people she visits, focusing her favorite trips on the edges and the epics. Now with a family of her own, she’s looking to pass on her deep love of the outdoors, travel, and resiliency. In her other life, Katie lives in a small ski town in the Canadian Rockies, spending as much time outside as possible while planning her next adventures.
Host Bio
Ashley Giordano
Ashley Giordano’s first foray into overland travel involved a 48,800-kilometer journey from Canada to Argentina with her husband, Richard, in their well-loved but antiquated 1990 Toyota Pickup. Currently cruising along the iconic Silk Road in a 2008 Toyota Tundra, her full-time navigator duties are rewarded with bowls of plov and lagman noodles, hikes in the Tian Shan, and countless cups of fragrant Tashkent tea. As senior editor at Overland Journal, you can usually find Ashley buried in a pile of travel books, poring over maps, or writing about the unsung women of overlanding history, including her enduring inspiration, Barbara Toy. @desktoglory_ash
