Callie Morgigno is an American nature guide, based in Alaska, known for her adventurous travels.[1]

Morgigno was interviewed by CBC News, for a documentary about Caitlin Coleman and Joshua Boyle, a couple she met shortly before they were kidnapped by the Taliban, in Afghanistan.[2] Morgigno last saw the pair in September 2012. She left Tajikistan for Afghanistan, expecting Boyle and Coleman to follow in a few days.

In 2017 Morgigno traveled overland from Russia's Arctic Ocean coast, at the Ural mountains, to the Black Sea, and Russia's border with Turkey.[1]
