Filled with entertaining anecdotes, charming observations, and intriguing historical tales, Megan's story is tough, honest, and sure to leave readers feeling awed and inspired.
Autorenporträt
Megan Knoyle Lewis has never led a conventional life. During her childhood living in Malaya (now Malaysia) she travelled in South-East Asia and Australia. She attended school in both Kuala Lumpur and London, and holds an MA in South-East Asian Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies. Megan is the first and only person to have ridden round the world on horseback, covering such iconic routes as the Pony Express Trail in the United States of America and, during her epic trek from Beijing to London, parts of the Silk Road. When not travelling the world, Megan can be found at home on her Cwrtycadno stud in Pumpsaint, Carmarthenshire, where she breeds award-winning Welsh Section B ponies.
