About Us & Our Expedition

Alan Feliciano

Taylor and Katie and met while studying at the University of Central Florida in 2012. Since then, we’ve gotten married, pursued graduate degrees, volunteered in the PeaceCorps and AmeriCorps, hiked the Camino de Santiago, and have become Master Gardeners. Before we settle down, we’re embarking on an ambitious overland expedition from Maine to Brazil.

Alan is our close friend, biggest supporter of SFT, and the reason that this website exists.
