From National Geographic's Explorer of the Year, 2014, Wild By Nature is the extraordinary story of Sarah Marquis' solo 10,000-mile hike from Siberia to Australia. Relying on hunting and her own wits, Sarah Marquis made it across the Gobi Desert and through fever-haunted jungles, surviving mafia, drug dealers, thieves on horseback who harassed her tent every night for weeks, temperatures from sub zero to scorching, life-threatening wildlife, a dengue fever delirium in the Laos jungle, tropic ringworm in northern Thailand, dehydration, and a life-threatening abscess. Through an incredible journey Wild By Nature explores what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstances, and what it is to be truly alone in the wild.
