Critics Review
Thoughtful, grounded and quietly powerful … I especially liked the insistence that exploration is still alive, and that the point is connection rather than conquest, it feels both true and timely. * BRUCE PARRY *
Not just a story of an extreme journey, but of courage, humility and growth. Lucy Shepherd writes with honesty and heart and this book is a powerful reminder that exploration is still alive * BEAR GRYLLS *
Lucy is the quintessential enlightened modern explorer, keeping adventure alive in the changing modern world. In a field beset with egos and self-aggrandisement Lucy has the rarest of traits; humility. Her adventures are not always about the toughness she needs to conquer adversity, but wonder, curiosity and gratitude. * STEVE BACKSHALL *
An inspiring story of tenacity and determination, Into the Wild gives us a rare glimpse into what it takes to become a modern-day explorer - and a female one, to boot. Lucy’s journey as a young woman navigating a traditionally male-dominated niche will keep you rooting for her throughout the book. In retelling her world-first expedition in the Amazon, Lucy spares us no detail, recounting the challenges and triumphs of her endeavour with the kind of honesty and depth that makes you feel like you’re right there with her. A fantastic read for any aspiring adventurer! * EVA ZU BECK *
