“A joy of recognition to many places around the world. A deeply personal insight in Eva as a person and her search… to find herself.” Noraly Schoenmaker, bestselling author of Free Ride

“Eva's story is one of pure grit, guiding us through an exploration of the space between being alone and being lonely, two things that are often – mistakenly – seen as one and the same.” Brianna Madia, New York Times bestselling author of Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind

“Raw, disarmingly honest and beautifully told” Lucy Shepherd author of Into the Wild

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.”

In Swimming Wild in South West England, award-winning author and adventurer Siân Anna Lewis guides you to more than 50 of the finest beaches, tidal pools, rivers and lakes across the West Country. Several locations also feature tempting saunas, so you can extend the wellness benefits of your swim.

Each spot has been carefully selected to showcase the South West’s remarkable variety, guiding you beyond the best-known locations to uncover hidden gems. Take a dip in the magical, secluded Woody Bay Tidal Pool in Devon; enjoy a longer, peaceful swim in the sparkling waters of Cornwall’s Grebe Beach; or escape the crowds at Chapman’s Pool – a stunning horseshoe-shaped cove in Dorset with beautifully clear water, ideal for swimming or snorkelling.

The adventures don’t stop at the coast. Inland, you can float in the cool, clear waters of Exmoor’s River Barle near Landacre Bridge in Somerset, or enjoy a sociable swim followed by a warming sauna at Court Farm Lakes in Gloucestershire.

Drawing on her extensive experience, Siân shares clear, practical advice on access points, safety, tides and currents, conditions underfoot, and potential hazards. With guidance on essential kit, Ordnance Survey and custom maps, transport and parking details, and cafe recommendations for a well-earned post-swim treat, this book has everything you need.

Whether you’re a seasoned wild swimmer or just starting out, Swimming Wild in South West England is packed with inspiration for your next adventure.
