Swindon Festival Of Literature - Hilary Bradt

HILARY BRADT – on travel, worldwide, and Taking the Risk Why do we travel? What does travel do to the mind? Where have you been? Are you intrepid? Let’s go! Trailblazer, pioneer, and co-founder of the brilliant Bradt Guides to worldwide travel, Hilary Bradt is the author of Taking the Risk, a memoir in which she relives the rigours of travel before the days of the internet, what to do when lost in a jungle, how to travel through hostile territory, or what to do when being arrested. Hilary also shares her delight at the abundance of wildlife she encountered, from mountain gorillas in Rwanda to blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos and from tree frogs in Ecuador to rockhopper penguins in the Falkland Islands. She’s been everywhere man!
