About Cheyney Steininger

After graduating with a philosophy degree from UC Santa Cruz in 1995, I set out on the course that would shape my life for over a decade and counting. A fellow classmate had gone to work in Zion National Park several months earlier, and I heeded his advice to follow him. The 6 months I lived and worked there in the most beautiful high desert on Earth showed me just how awe inspiring this planet can be. I decided then that I would do all that I could to see as much of the world and its beauty as possible.

A wild & wacky week of travel covering maybe 2000 miles, countless mountain passes, and some of the planet's most beautiful terrain brought me here over a week ago.
