Yossi Ghinsberg: Surviving Alone in the Amazon, Living with the Bedouin and Other Stories of Adventure. Part Two 54:27

منذ 1 year54:27

54:27

Send us a text "Best Story of Adventure and Survival in the Jungles of the Amazon." Yossi Ghinsberg is an adventurer. A wandering soul seeking not the prize of a conquest, but a connection with tribal cultures around the world. He is a best-selling author, award winning speaker and was featured on the Discovery Channel. After finishing his hitch with the Israeli navy, Yossi traveled to South America in search of his dream of finding the El Dorado and of befriending a lost Amazonian tribe. He and three others set off into the uncharted jungle in the Madidi region of the Amazon. The hardships of the jungle caused two of his fellow adventurers to split of and attempt to return to civilization. They were never seen again. A rafting accident on the Tuichi River left Yossi alone in this inhospitable place. Attacked by insects (Yossi had to cut burrowing worms out of his forehead), stalked by jaguar, hungry and alone, Yossi fought to survive. This epic story of adventure and survival is the basis of his best-selling book Lost in the Jungle and the movie Jungle. This ordeal transformed him. He learned that “The gift of life is not to be taken for granted. Nothing is mundane, it is all a miracle.” A philosophy expressed in his late friend Vesty Pakos’ war cry “Where is it? Where is it? It is here! It is here!” Yossi continues today traveling the world in his unique style seeking out tribal cultures-befriending the Bedouin, traveling through the Sahara, and living among the islanders on Carteret Island in Papua New Guinea.
