Aubrie Canfield is the Co-founder of Actuality Abroad, an organization that connects emerging storytellers with global changemakers through educational travel experiences. These documentary tours and travel courses provide the training and support needed to tell impactful, ethical stories across cultures. In each destination, participants collaborate with local changemakers to produce short films and photography that amplify important work.

She later became a creative producer in advertising, leading video and photography campaigns for clients like L’Oreal, DIESEL, Kate Spade, Fossil, and Melaleuca. At home in Central Florida, she is an educational activist, being the founder od grassroots gatherings that champion student-directed experiential learning.
“As a visionary leader, I believe that storytellers are the most powerful people in the world. Stories create our reality. When our storytellers can do their work ‘better,’ our world will become so.”
