Introduction: The Call of the Wild
I never imagined that a three-month expedition through the Amazon rainforest would change my life so profoundly. As I sit here reflecting on that incredible journey, I'm struck by how much I learned about myself, about nature, and about what it truly means to be alive. My name is Pip Stewart, and I want to share with you the life-altering experiences and insights I gained while kayaking the entire length of Guyana's Essequibo River - from its source high in the mountains all the way to where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. This wasn't just any adventure - it was a world-first. No one had ever attempted to paddle the full length of the Essequibo before. But more than that, it was a journey into the heart of one of the most remote and pristine wildernesses left on our planet. And in that wild place, I discovered truths about myself and about life that I never could have learned any other way.
