Lucy Barnard

One of Australia’s most recognised Adventurers, Lucy speaks of exploration, pursuing the radicle, and what it’s taught her about risk vs reward

Forced home from a global hike across 30 000 km and 15 countries Lucy speaks about her journey through some of the world’s least explored pockets.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from an acclaimed adventurer, mid-expedition on the reality of this extraordinary lifestyle and what inspires her to pursue a career so far from the comforts of a traditional one.

In 2019 Lucy became the first woman to have hiked the length of South America and is in pursuit of becoming the first to walk the length of the Earth.

She has momentarily returned to Australia as part of the pandemic response.
