Andrea Mandel-Campbell
Andrea Mandel-Campbell is the founder of active travel company, karibu adventures. A former foreign correspondent and best-selling author, Andrea takes a journalist’s lens to crafting personally curated small group tours that take guests to unique wild places and hidden gems and introduces them to people that would not otherwise meet. She sits on the board of Outward Bound Canada and in 2025 was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of Canada.
Diana Kinyua and Jeremy Bishop
The storytellers behind Between the Extremes, a raw and honest book about driving the Pan-American Highway from Canada to Patagonia in a self-built campervan with their young family—and a Mexican street dog they never planned on adopting.
In 2022, they traded routine for the unknown, navigating border crossings, breakdowns, and backroads across the Americas. From transmission failures at 16,000 feet in Peru to a cockroach infestation in Colombia, their journey was anything but curated, shaped as much by mechanical breakdowns as by the kindness of strangers.
Jeremy, raised in Minnesota, comes from a background in outdoor guiding and award-winning photography, having led adventures from Alaska to Norway.
Diana, born and raised in Kenya, is a dentist turned adventurer and storyteller with a deep fascination for culture, identity, and human connection.
Together, they share the unfiltered highs and lows of long-term overlanding, blending hard-earned lessons
Taylor Pace
Taylor Pace’s journey to being a wilderness guide began as a 3-year-old when his parents Lin & Al, co-owners of Canoe North Adventures, first brought him to the Yukon. At age 7 he first hiked the Chilkoot Trail, and by age 14 was paddling on his first northern river expedition down the Snake River, YT. Years later he graduated from the Adventure Studies Program at Thompson Rivers University with a Diploma in Adventure Studies, and has spent time guiding canoe, raft, and kayaking trips around the globe from New Zealand to Chile. Taylor is a keen fly-fisherman, avid climber and dedicated whitewater specialist and these passions have inspired him to share the wild places of Northern Canada with the rest of the world through Canoe North Adventures.
