Twin sisters Amber and Serena Shine on strength, survival and a lifetime seeking adventure
Amber and Serena Shine have wild in their blood. From their first steps, the twins set out from their family farm in rural Waiuku with the bush and mountains in sight. Together they've run the world's highest marathon on Mount Everest, walked jaguars in the Amazon, sailed treacherous seas from Hawai'i to San Francisco, navigated ice falls while climbing Mount Cook, raced 322 kilometres on a dogsled, and survived naked in the African wilderness for twenty-one days on the hit Discovery show Naked and Afraid.
In The Wild Twins, Amber and Serena share their most extreme achievements, the secrets behind their strength and endurance, and advice on living life to its fullest. With go-getter attitudes, perseverance and fearlessness, these inspiring sisters are all about getting outdoors and reaching your potential - returning home covered in mud and with a story to tell.
Not sure how this came onto my radar. I can't believe it was only based on the cover!
These NZ ladies are fiercely adventurous. Pretty inspiring, although, I may need a bigger kick in my book-reading posterior to get me up and out there.
Interesting to hear of their tales though. A quick and enjoyable read.
Some wonderful adventures. Inspired me to get out of NZ and go explore and just go with the flow with minimal long term plans. Thought the message at the end of each chapter was a nice touch but did come across a little preachy at times.
