Chelsea Duke

When Chelsea Duke took a year out to backpack solo around the world she had no idea what she was letting herself in for.   She describes travelling as the best experience of her life – but there were also some unpleasant surprises along the way.  By the end of the year she had amassed a range of survival techniques to rival Ray Mears, all of which she is generously passing on in her book.

When not enjoying exotic adventures with her head torch and sparkly flip flops, Chelsea works as a Funeral Director with a family firm in Winchester, Hampshire.
