Our founder, Breanne Kiefner was lucky to be one of the first guests on Leslie Kehmeier’s quarantine creation: Coffee with Covid. In an effort to bring some levity to these tough times, Leslie and Breanne chat about their first meeting, Leslie teaching Breanne how to use her now favorite Aeropress and how adventure is so much more than travel. Coffee has been a cornerstone in the building of Root Adventures - the business was created at the local Whittier Cafe, afterall! And we’ve been lucky enough to travel to the home of coffee, Ethiopia, with the founder of said cafe! Take it away, Leslie!
I met Denverite and Whittier Cafe regular, Breanne Kiefner early last year through a mutual friend. We started working together in Baja which led to another trip to Ethiopia. Breanne owns and operates Root Adventures, an adventure travel company that connects like-mind people through travel. The Baja trip was my first experience on a women’s only travel adventure, which proved to be a transformative experience for me. When the opportunity came up to shoot her Ethiopia trip - it was a no-brainer. Breanne’s vision for people connecting and pushing their own boundaries through small group travel has been an amazing way to see for me to see part of the world. Enjoy episode 3 with Breanne!
