“The only way to live to tell the tale three years of walking used to be to embrace the moment of now.”―from Wild by Nature

Not since Cheryl Strayed gifted us with her adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail in her memoir, Wild, has there been this sort of powerful epic adventure by a woman by myself. In Wild by Nature, National Geographic Explorer Sarah Marquis takes you on the trail of her ten-thousand-mile solo hike across the remote Gobi desert from Siberia to Thailand, at which point she used to be transported by boat to complete the hike at her favorite tree in Australia.

Against nearly insurmountable odds and relying on hunting and her own wits, Sarah Marquis survived the Mafia, drug dealers, thieves on horseback who harassed her tent each night for weeks, temperatures from subzero to scorching, life-threatening flora and fauna, a dengue fever delirium in the Laos jungle, tropic ringworm in northern Thailand, dehydration, and a life-threatening abscess.

This is an improbable story of adventure, human ingenuity, persistence, and resilience that shows firsthand what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstance, what it is to be really by myself in the wild, and why any individual would challenge themselves with an expedition others would call crazy. For Marquis, her story is about freedom, being alive and wild by nature.
