Never quite at home in the modern world, WONIYA THIBEAULT was always drawn to wild places and the skills our ancestors used to thrive there, and driven by a desire to honor the natural world and to feel at home in and be a part of it. Woniya's master's degree in science and decades spent honing land-based living skills taught her how to live long-term in the wilderness, using the natural resources it provides. Three years after the solo challenge chronicled in Never Alone, seen on Season 6 of the Alone® series on The history Channel(TM), Woniya was invited to compete in an even more rugged spin-off series, Alone®: Frozen, where she made history. With this second Alone® journey, Woniya made history in two ways: across her two stints in the wild she set a new record for cumulative days on an Alone® solitary wilderness survival challenge and also became the first woman to win one. Another memoir, about that journey, is in the works.
