Description
Join explorer Lucy Shepherd for an exhilarating conversation about Into the Wild, the story of her journey to become an explorer and her world-first expedition across the Amazon’s Kanuku Mountains.
Inspired by the great adventurers who came before her, she set out to discover what it really takes to travel beyond maps, certainty and comfort. Leading a small all-Indigenous Amerindian team through one of the most remote and dangerous environments on Earth, she faced hunger, injury, illness, treacherous rivers and the constant threats of the rainforest.
Thrilling, honest and deeply inspiring, Shepherd talks resilience, teamwork, fear and wonder, and asks why the world’s wild places still matter for the planet and for ourselves.
