Synopsis

From YouTube adventurer and National Geographic TV host, an inspiring travel memoir of one woman’s solo adventures around the world and her pursuit of freedom.

Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that she is living someone else’s dream.

After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life.

Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world’s most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society’s idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own.

But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home.

This book is the incredible, world-expanding memoir of Eva journeying through the world on her own terms – and an inspiring example of what awaits when you take the wilder path.

"In a world that seems intent on locking us in gilded cages and behind screens, I want The Wilder Way to stand as an ode to freedom, a call to blaze your very own trail and a blueprint for an adventurous life."
