Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.

The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.

I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

My Christian faith is my backbone

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. And for me, I had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words I heard the smaller I always felt! But the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and I really clung to it.

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.
