Spectacular experience hearing these stories.

Loved it! Have listened to this audiobook 3 time already and can't get enough. Each chapter is different but delivered with great description that made it immersive, genuine and inspiring. My favourite chapter is chapter 12 and you will know why when you hear it too .. adventure galore.... we live each one vicariously through the words in this book until we too are brave enough to go on our own individual journeys into nature.
