Overview
As a teenager, Lisa couldnāt wait to escape suburbia and travel the world. Years later, as a healthy young climber, she was confronted with the depressing realities of her dadās and her brotherās neurological diseases: Parkinsonās and progressive multiple sclerosis. In 1996, after watching her dadās and brotherās bodies fail for five years, she was determined to push fear, worry, and guilt aside to reclaim her adventurous identity the only way she knew how: travel to Africa on her own.
Without Google Maps or the internet, Lisa relied on herself, fellow adventurers, and the kindness of locals while navigating unknown territory. She ascended the magical dunes of Namibia in sole-sizzling heat, paddled the Zambezi River among crocs and hippos, went hiking alone in the Chimanimani mountains, and attended a witchcraft healing ceremony on the remote island of Likoma. Lisaās unpredictable adventures and serendipitous setbacks taught her that wonderful things happen when she lets go of guilt and fear. Despite her solitary nature, Lisa discovered that being brave doesnāt mean she has to do it alone. For over two decades, these lessons stayed with her as she grappled with her dadās and her brotherās lengthy illnesses and witnessed the toll it took on her mom as their caregiver.
