Biography

Lucy Shepherd is at the forefront of modern exploration with adventures taking her from mountain ranges and tropical rainforests to the Arctic tundra.

In 2024, Lucy gained global broadcasting recognition with her 2 part series on Channel 4 ‘Secret Amazon: Into the Wild’ . It tells the story of her and her team as they journey on foot through inhospitable and unexplored Amazon rainforest. Thrilling but heartwarming, it focuses on the friendships herself and her Amerindian team make with one another and the many highs and lows. Lucy’s documentary showcases the importance of protecting these pristine wildernesses. With any adventure comes uncertainties and she shares tales of the challenges she and her team faced from skin infections to working with fifty-year-old maps, and how they faced them head-on. She documents all of her expeditions not only to captivate and inspire audiences but to share the harrowing effects of climate change and educate people about the fragile state of the natural world. As a passionate environmentalist, she hopes to inspire a new generation of influential stewards.

At twenty-three, Lucy was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, a historic body who supported the work of historic figures such as Charles Darwin, Edmund Hillary, and Scott of the Antarctic. She is also the youngest member of the council of the Scientific Exploration Society, one of the world’s oldest exploration charities.

Lucy talks in depth about how we can all harness the Explorer’s Mindset and believes that adventure is a mindset, not a moment, and shares how everyone can live a bit more boldly to find adventure everywhere.
