Who is Trouncing Around?

Katie Sylvest freelances from her cabin desk overlooking the divide of Colorado. She’s one of the top 10 most traveled American females in her 20s.

She rode a temperamental horse through Cuba in hopes of understanding political tension before Trump cut ties there. She was surprised at the lack of sustainability practices when photographing wildlife in Costa Rica. A slew of interviews in the Balkans changed her outlook on war and human rights. Katie traveled to Iraqi Kurdistan to uncover the truths about disputed lands and rights of nomadic Kurds. She spent the best summer of her life working on a brown bear conservation project in the back-country of Alaska then headed north to the Arctic to investigate oil drilling.
