River Savante

Global Adventure Guide

Global Citizen. Mountaineer. Scuba-Diver. University Student.

River has grown up living around the world with her mom, Enlightened Globetrekker Adventures founder Crystal Blue. She has lived in all corners of the earth and was raised immersed in local cultures and taking on big adventures in her natural remote environments since age 5. Now 19, she has traversed 6 continents including 35 countries. Most of her youth was spent living in Mexico, the South Pacific, Thailand, and Nepal. Much of her global youth was documented by her mom in published articles, sharing her daily adventures and unique way of upbringing and world schooling with the world. She is currently a university sophomore in USA majoring in International & Comparative Politics, Religious Studies, and Spanish.

She loves all kinds of adventure from free-diving under the sea to mountaineering in the Himalayas, trekking ancient ruins, cliff jumping in the Greek Islands, sailing beautiful seas, and exploring jungle cenotes. She is a certified scuba diver, and was training to be the youngest American woman to summit Mt. Everest before her climbing efforts got postponed due to a situation high in the Himalayas. In training for Everest, River summited a Himalayan peak near Everest called Imja Tse (20,500 ft) as the youngest American female. She is fluent in Spanish and has led multiple teams to Everest Base camp. Last summer she guided a team to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

Her mission is to spread love and adventure to everyone and to send the message that the world is a beautiful place with beautiful people everywhere if you just take the time to get to know and love people and places in an authentic way. Her global adaptability, zest for adventure, and comfort among different cultures make her a true global citizen, and an admirable and inspirational example of a modern teenager flourishing without technology or material comforts or judgments.

River is excited to meet you and guide you on an unforgettable experience internally and externally, leaving you transformed and renewed. River will guide you through her different childhood lands, discussing ways of life and perspectives, and keeping you safe on raw adventures that are for her just a part of everyday life, growing up on an endless adventure. Namaste!

River is excited to be one of your guides this year on our Egypt Expedition.
