MEET KRYSTEN
A storyteller. A seeker. A listener.
Krysten Kaladkarin is a travel storyteller and adventure creator preparing to cross Africa overland from Mozambique to Morocco.
This journey is about more than distance. It is about trust, resilience and the people who open their doors, share their stories and challenge the fear-based narratives often attached to travel across Africa.
At its heart, this is a journey by a woman, for women.
