It’s been a year or so since I first chanced upon Eva zu Beck‘s YouTube channel, where she regularly posts videos ranging from ten minutes long to an hour plus, documenting excursions taken around the world by boat, on foot, or in her 2006 Land Rover Defender 110 named Odyssey, with only her dog Vilk as her companion.
Tagging along on her adventures from the comfort of my fully on-grid and air-conditioned home, much like the rest of her 1.92M+ subscribers, I’ve been inspired by the “you can do this too” open-door nature of her content, which she’s stayed true to even after landing a deal with National Geographic for her own travel show, “Superskilled,” and announcing that her first memoir, “The Wilder Way” was to be released by the Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books in June.
