This week, we bring you the extraordinary tale of Sophie Matterson, a woman who left behind the familiar to embark on a life-changing journey across Australia with five wild camels. Hailing from Flinders Ranges in South Australia, Sophie traded her career in TV and film for an adventure that would reshape her life. What started as a brief break from her job in 2016 turned into an incredible 13-month odyssey. After turning 30, she set out to walk from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, traversing the vast, arid heart of Australia.

Sophie shares the highs, lows, and life-altering lessons of her epic trek, as captured in her award-winning memoir, The Crossing: A Memoir of Love, Adventure, and Finding Your Own Path. Join us as we dive into her remarkable story of courage, self-discovery, and the pursuit of purpose.
