I'm an Explorer.

In other words, I go to the uncharted places of our planet, and document the many worlds I find along the way.

I consider it my duty to open people's eyes to the beautiful fragility of our planet, amplify the voices of climate advocates, and support sustainable enterprise.

I embark on solo, team and world-first expeditions. I film and write about these to create uplifting and thought provoking content to inspire the next generation of climate stewards and adventurers and lead guided adventures for inexperienced explorers.

I also write about my experiences, and partner with organizations and companies that make our world a better place.

 

 Adventure is a mindset.

Forget the "adventure of a lifetime", make a lifetime of adventure.

I’m just getting started

At the age of just twenty three, I became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (est. 1830), and the youngest ever elected council member of the Scientific Exploration Society (est. 1982).

I feel privileged to stand at the forefront of modern exploration, having completed over twenty expeditions traversing mountain ranges, tropical rainforests and Arctic tundra.

 
 

Thrilled to announce my debut adventure series on Channel 4!

British explorer Lucy Shepherd and her Indigenous team embark on an unprecedented 50-day expedition to traverse virgin Amazon rainforest entirely on foot.
