An epic three-month adventure through unexplored jungle terrain following Guyana’s Essequibo River from source to sea.

Fuelled by a zest for life and the desire to explore the world around her, Pip and her all-female teammates journeyed through the rainforest to chart the undiscovered source of Guyana's Essequibo River with the help of guides from the Waî Waî indigenous community. 

Survival skills and a flesh-eating parasite weren’t the only things Pip took home from the rainforest. From contending with snakes to learning about the value of community, forgiveness and self-belief, Pip's book shares many pearls of wisdom that we can all apply to our own lives. Her hard-won insights invite us to embrace the wildness within ourselves and live a little more every day.
