Stephen Lioy

When not in the field researching as a guidebook author, Stephen Lioy is a photographer, hiker, and travel blogger based in Central Asia. A “once in a lifetime” Eurotrip and post-university move to China set the stage for what would eventually become a semi-nomadic lifestyle based on sharing his experiences with would-be travellers and helping provide that initial push out of comfort zones and into all that the planet has to offer.
