Good, Wise and Wonderful Podcast Jessica Frankovelgia

What’s Good, Wise and Wonderful about Samantha Stollenwerck Runkel? Just about everything.

Born and raised in Southern California, now residing in Nuremburg, Germany, she’s a stunning beauty with a vibrant and International intellect. Funny, self deprecating and wildly talented. She’s your cool friend that you tell stories about. The one who somehow fits more into one day than there seem to be hours, and makes you feel like you should expand beyond your own views and walls.

She’s a recording artist and song writer, and has toured extensively with bands like Dave Matthews and Ziggy Marley. She’s played Bonnarroo and Austin City Limits.

She’s traveled the world with her husband Michael Runkel, who is a travel photographer and has been to all 193 U.N. Nations and photographed almost every UNESCO World Heritage Site. An accomplishment given to only a handful of people in history.

Their love story is something out of a novel. They met on an Expedition ship in the middle of Antarctica, and then decided to keep traveling together after that. She tells us all about it on the latest Good, Wise and Wonderful podcast which can be found here.

Not only did they travel the world together, they eventually traveled the world with their 8 month old daughter Sia to countries like Namibia, Japan, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

She’s involved philanthropically with Surfrider, Patagonia, Every Mother Counts, and Musicians Without Borders which brings music into conflict zones to help heal the effects of war.

I met her on an extraordinary volunteer adventure in Nicaragua with the organization called SYRV, which was a pivot point in both of our lives. It was such a BIG emotional experience curated by Monique Evans. We built a community center in Jiquillio so the women would have a place to allow their trades to make them income, and provided water filters to schools and homes. A shared experience that would leave us life long friends.

Her blog, is some of my favorite reading. She tells the stories of her travels across the world from the Vanuatu land divers, to the maternal wisdom of he Himba women. You can read all about her adventures, hear her music, and stay on top of her latest family travels at www.samanthamusic.com
