Summary:  "From 2010 to 2013, Swiss adventurer Sarah Marquis walked alone 20,000 kilometres (12,000 miles) from Siberia to the Gobi Desert, into China, Laos, Thailand, and then across Australia. During this time, she maintained little human contact and pulled a 120-pound cart that contained her clothes, equipment and supplies. Against nearly insurmountable odds and relying on hunting and her own wits, she survived the Mafia, drug dealers, thieves on horseback who harassed her every night for weeks, temperatures from subzero to scorching, life-threatening wildlife, a dengue fever delirium in the Laos jungle, tropic ringworm in northern Thailand, dehydration, and a life-threatening periodontal abscess. She gave a TED talk about her adventures and her story may be viewed in YouTube presentations. In 2014 she was named one of National Geographic's Adventurers of the Year"--Provided by publisher.
