She documents her endeavours, both to share them with captivated audiences, to show the effects of climate change.

Aged only twenty-three, Lucy was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, a historic body who supported the work of historic figures such as Charles Darwin, Edmund Hillary, and Scott of the Antarctic. She is also the youngest member of the council of the Scientific Exploration Society, one of the world’s oldest exploration charities. A dedicated environmentalist, Lucy is, above all, driven by a desire to educate about the fragile state of our planet. She does this through an illustrated blog on her website, by engaging with her young fan base through Instagram and YouTube channel and fascinating crowds during her many speaking engagements.

Lucy is determined to prove that we are all capable of being resilient and taking on hurdles and challenges that we may have thought were impossible in the past.

Lucy’s most recent expedition was an expedition to an isolated part of the Guyana rainforest where Lucy was joined by Amerindians as her team. This involved crossing the Kanuku Mountains, a journey no one is known to have made in modern times. . Although still young, Lucy has more stories to tell than most manage in a lifetime.

Lucy’s inspirational and adrenaline talk provides both motivation and escapism. Lucy discusses multiple topics within her epic tales of adventures and her leadership and teamwork skill set comes across throughout. Her key messages woven within her talk are the ability to face adversity head on, following your dreams and the importance of positivity, creativity and curiosity.

With an ever-growing media profile, many places left to visit, and millions still to educate, you can be certain that she will continue to be a vital presence on the world stage for decades to come.
