'Miriam finds beauty in what lies beyond fear.' Ben Fogle, New Lives in the Wild

Do something unexpected. Sooner, rather than later.

Miriam Lancewood - adventurer, philosopher, brave and extraordinary yet humble human being - takes you into her world of expeditions through

New Zealand, Bulgaria, the Himalayas, India, Turkey, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

She hitchhikes to remote locations, camps in the wild, fights off bears, fights off unwanted men, climbs mountains, and survives by eating from the land and living by her wits.

Miriam aims to overcome fear by deepening her independence. Each adventure reflects both her strengths and vulnerabilities, and she tells vivid and deeply personal stories drawn from those experiences.

With practical advice on how to prepare for the unexpected, Alone in the World will resonate with anyone seeking courage and clarity as the world becomes increasingly unpredictable and fragile.

Miriam Lancewood's first book, the international bestseller Woman in the Wilderness, described the seven incredible years she and her husband Peter spent living in the wilderness. With no modern conveniences they embraced a nomadic lifestyle, sleeping in a tent, cooking over open fires and moving with the rhythm of nature. Her second book Wild at Heart focused on a time when Peter became very ill and their lifestyle had to adapt.

Miriam Lancewood was born in 1983 and grew up in the Netherlands. She was a competitive pole-vaulter and studied Physical Education before travelling in Africa and India. There she met her New Zealand husband, and together they travelled for many years through Asia and Papua New Guinea before arriving in New Zealand. They lived primitively in the remote wilderness of the Southern Alps, and Miriam wrote her first book Woman in the Wilderness about that time. She currently lives in Bulgaria with her husband, when she's not out in the wilderness on adventures.
