About the host
Hosted by Tiffany Junge

Oh my gosh, where to start?! From climbing to 17,000 feet in Nepal to stunt rigging in Thailand and Namibia, I’ve gone from traveling across the globe to hosting in Des Moines! I’ve soaked in Iceland’s hot springs, sailed New Zealand’s fjords, and now I’m in Iowa, sharing my cozy home with fellow adventurers. Whether you're here to chill with family or thrill at a show, you’ll feel right at home in this little slice of Des Moines!
