Choosing to Live

On 25 August 2012, two months into a planned solo source-to-sea navigation of the Amazon River, Davey du Plessis, a young solo adventurer, was ambushed, shot and left for dead within the isolated jungles of Peru. The adventure turned into an intense moment-by-moment struggle for survival as he made his way, wounded, through the dense jungle, seeking rescue and safety.

Choosing to Live is Davey’s personal account of his Amazon experience, which he recounts with an endearing openness, while sharing unique insights into the power of compassion and his ability to remain motivated during his ordeal.

Choosing to Live is available from Amazon.com as an ebook, or you can purchase a hard copy from www.loot.co.za and at all good book stores.
