Steve Schweighofer

I'm Steve, and I've spent decades chasing the edges of the map. From the Sahara's heart in Algeria to the Masai Mara in 1987, Taman Negara's rainforest alone, and the base of Everest, I've logged the kind of travel that changes you. For over a decade I lived on Vancouver Island, where daily hikes, great dogs, and a property called Cougar's Crag kept me sane. Dogs have always been central to my life, from Maremma livestock guardians watching over my goats to beloved Dalmatians and Great Danes. Ask me about solo adventure travel, life on Vancouver Island, raising livestock guardian dogs, and the Sahara.
