Gregg
and
Deia are experienced public speakers. They have presented in
front of thousands of people throughout the United States. Their
stated goal when beginning the expedition was to learn as much as
possible about sustainable ways of life in order that they could share
their findings upon returning home. Gregg and Deia are thrilled to have
that opportunity
Any presentation can be tailored to meet your needs. Contact Deia

The Show: 45 min - 2 hrs.
Gregg Treinish and Deia Schlosberg believe in the value of traveling at
a natural human pace. In April 2008, Gregg and Deia became the
first
people to trek the length of the Andes Mountains, south of the equator,
a journey that lasted nearly two years and 7,800 miles. Following
the
spine of the longest mountain chain in the world, the couple created a
new route, often times off-trail and even off-map. Along the way
they
were forced to battle crippling illnesses and highly unforgiving
terrain. Traveling to remote and often never-before-visited
villages
in the Andes, they experienced first hand the lives of a people who
have been living for centuries using sustainable methods. They
see a
tremendous value in sharing the lessons learned from a people who have
been living harmoniously with the land for generations. Through
intimate journal entries, stunning video, and captivating slides, Gregg
and Deia bring their audiences along for the journey.
Gregg and Deia were named National Geographic Adventurers of the year
in 2008. Their trek has been documented by Wend, Backpacker, and
Outside Magazines, and they are looking forward to the time to complete
a book about the journey. Gregg and Deia are currently
living in
Bozeman, MT.
-We had the largest turnout
in history for our annual meeting, due in large part to the
anticipation surrounding our keynote speakers. Gregg and Deia did not
disappoint. The presentation was captivating and inspirational, moving
the room full of hikers and backpackers to laugh at moments and to be
introspective at others. We were inspired by what these two have
accomplished and equally so by what they have planned for the future.

- If you ever have a
chance to see Gregg and Deia speak on their adventures, it would be
well worth your while. Granite Gear has been working them as
sponsored athletes for several years now, through their Across the
Andes trip and we had the pleasure of hosting them in their first
slideshow after returning from South America.
The presentation was
engaging, and entertaining. They have provided us with stunning
images we have used extensively in our advertising, catalogs, and trade
show banners. The quality and professionalism is always present,
but Gregg and Deia are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.
Sincerely yours,
Daniel Cruikshank
