Samantha Wilson

Samantha is a widely published writer and author with an insatiable wanderlust and passion for all things countryside, wildlife, nature and history. She has written for guidebook, magazine and online media publishers, and authored six travel books including Ultimate Record-Breaking Destinations: The World’s Largest, Highest and Most Extreme Places, and Ultimate Wildlife Destinations for New Holland Publishers. She is a long-standing member of the British Guild of Travel Writers.

Born to two globe-trotting parents, travel seemed to come as second nature to Samantha and her journeys have taken her from the Northern Lights of the Arctic to the wild lands of Patagonia to the remote islands of Palau. She has inter-railed through Europe, canoed the Swedish lakes, travelled the length and breadth of South and Central America, cruised the Mediterranean aboard luxury superyachts and camel-trekked the North African deserts. Whether it’s a camping weekend close to home or an epic adventure to exotic destinations, her love of natural history more often than not drives her travel choices, and she has been in search of bears in Alaska, capybara in Brazil’s Pantanal, whale sharks in Honduras and ibex in Israel. After years living in the Middle East, China, Central America and Spain, Samantha has finally returned to the British countryside.
