About Remigio “Remi” Mateo
Remigio “Remi” Mateo is currently an Ambassador for Latino Outdoors, Los Angeles Chapter, where he has led community hikes, bike rides and occasional snowshoeing since 2015.
His love for the outdoors sparked his interest in hiking the top peaks in Southern California and around the world — and steered him towards getting other folks out there in Mother Nature.
Since then, he has continued to lead his community in Southeast Los Angeles to get a diverse group to take part in exploring their own community and to bring the youth along with them.
Remi is also an outdoor instructor for Outward Bound Adventures, where he leads high school students on backpacking trips in the wilderness. Many of these youth are from inner cities that have never explored the wilderness.
