UNSURPASSED WONDERS OF THE RAINFOREST If you like one-off stories about unusual people doing unusual things in the mud, here you go.

UNSURPASSED WONDERS OF THE RAINFOREST If you like one-off stories about unusual people doing unusual things in the mud, here you go. This story recounts a trek led by an eccentric Costa Rican who, living in New York, managed to recruit a band of willing followers to fulfill his life-long dream of locating a remote tribe reputed to live wholly apart from civilization in the pristine mountains of untouched rainforest. By definition, no one knows what to expect on an expedition-it's easy to screw up on the planning or mis-cast a few of the players. The result, personality clashes and ridiculous uncertainty out on the trail. But along with the woe, the outing served up a heap of glory. Though no one knew what would happen next, in the end the not knowing was where the emotion and depth came from. Outdoing oneself daily is an unparalleled high, and the little band of hikers was forever bonded over this rare adventure. This journal-by one of three females in a group of more than twenty-somehow survived the rain, river-crossings, mold, sweat, and tears. The book was written during the actual journey, usually beside a campfire in the rain. And when the group walked out of the jungle, the completed manuscript was in the author's backpack.
Autorenporträt
W. M. Raebeck lives in Hawaii where she adores turquoise waters, tradewinds, birdsong, her tropical garden, and little White Boy. Retrieving geckos from his jowls is the worst part of her day.Writing, yoga, swimming, animal friends, family and travel keep her occupied in these strange American times. "You must create your own bubble," she says, "a safe haven of beauty, goodness, and morality in which to reside, withdraw, and nurture your sanity."W. M. Raebeck has had an adventurous life, much shared in her books. She's packed a few lifetimes into one, with endless travel, acting in film and television, hiking or hitch-hiking across various countries, years as a journalist, renovating houses in Hawaii, modeling in Paris, NYC, and L.A., plus continuous political, environmental, and animal rights activism. Lifelong pursuits are also yoga, natural health, and photography. She likes to believe she's just getting started.... We'll see what the universe decides on that.
