Hey, it’s the time of year to celebrate - so Miriam Lancewood and I will be celebrating some of our amazing Wilder Journeys contributors on Instagram this month. We will be spotlighting one author a day for 12 days, giving a preview into what their chapter is about. I feel really lucky to have met so many amazing people through this project, and continue to be inspired by them.
We will be featuring Roz Savage - the ocean rower, and Hamza Yassin, the wildlife filmmaker and presenter. Their stories in the book give an insight into what wisdom can be gained from spending prolonged time in the wilds, alone.
In case you weren’t aware, Wilder Journeys: True Stories of Nature, Adventure & Connection, is a collection of inspiring and breathtaking stories about ordinary people who have extraordinary encounters in the natural world - and how their lives transformed.
Here’s is Miriam Lancewood, my co-editor (best known for her book Woman in the Wilderness and for spending 7 years in the NZ wilderness), and me, at our book launch earlier this year.
And this the beautiful book cover!
Wilder Journeys is available to buy from most online retailers - and can be ordered in independent bookshops and Waterstones. It’s available in the UK, US and Canada. It could be just the right Christmas gift for someone :-) There’s a list of retail links on our website www.wilderjourneys.com.
Do follow me/us on Instagram to be part of the 12 days of Wilder Journeys!
