Writer/Host
After years of working behind a desk, Holly Morris had finally had enough. So she quit her job and set out to prove that adventure is not just a vacation style but a philosophy of living and to find like-minded, risk-taking women around the globe- artists, activists, and politicos–women of action who are changing the rules and sometimes the world around them. Along the way, Morris herself becomes a certified Adventure Diva, as she hunts for wild boar with Penan tribesmen in the jungles of Borneo, climbs the Matterhorn short-roped to a salty fourth-generation Swiss guide, and memorably becomes the first woman ever to enter the traditional camel race of the Saharan oasis town of Timia. Named a New York Times Editor’s Choice, Adventure Divas is a pro-woman chronicle for the twenty-first century – and has paved the way for all of us to discover our own diva within.
