As the world globalises more and more, it seems harder and harder to find something that no-one has done before. Yet, they are still incredible adventurers, like Lucy Shepherd, who still manage to do so.\xa0\n\nAfter having a more-than-dodgy experience with a Jaguar the last time she visited the jungle, Lucy returned to trek across the Kanuka Mountains.\xa0\n\nScratching That Itch\xa0\n\nAfter her last time in the jungle, Lucy can't be blamed for swearing off ever returning again. The jungle is a place where everything is just designed to kill you.\xa0\n\nAs the years (and expeditions) went on, though, there was something missing.\xa0\n\nLucy was achieving so much; all of her adventure boxes were being ticked. Challenging? Check. Risky moments? Got 'em. Lots of these moments? Absolutely!\xa0\n\nBut, there was still something that wasn't quite testing her. It didn't take long for Lucy realised she had to go back to the jungle.\xa0\n\nFinding Her 'Why's\xa0\n\nIn her interview, we spoke about balancing 'achievement' and 'escapism'. In Lucy's case, the latter comes before the former. While she had her 'escapism' reason to go, her partner pressed her - and with good reason, the last time she went to the jungle there was a rather uncomfortable experience with a jaguar.\xa0\n\nKnowing that she wanted to head back to Guyana, Lucy started making a few phone calls and exploring her options. It was at this point she discovered the Kanukus. Despite attempts across the hard terrain, no-one was yet to complete crossing the region. With that, Lucy had her 'achievement' found, and got the planning in motion.\xa0\n\nListen to the podcast to find out more about Lucy's prep and expedition across the jungle!\xa0\n\nLucy Shepherd\xa0\n\nLucy is a fantastic, humble, modest, and experienced adventurer and it was a pleasure having her on the podcast.\xa0\n\nYou can check out her website here, or catch her on Instagram for regular updates here.\xa0\n\nOr, check out one of her YouTube videos below:\xa0\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6zQzmtYZU\xa0\n\n----------------------------\n\nIf you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and\xa0share with a friend!\xa0\n\nIf you\xa0really\xa0enjoy the show please check out our\xa0Patreon site here.
