Holly Budge Skydived Off Mt Everest and Built a Global Charity for Female Rangers

by Nathan James Thomas

In today’s episode of the Travel Writing Podcast, we try and stitch together the threads of Holly Budge’s epic life. Not only is she the first woman to skydive from the top of Mt Everest, Holly is also the founder of How Many Elephants, a charity that supports female rangers on the frontlines. She has risen at dawn to walk alongside the brave women who guard Africa’s most vulnerable elephant populations from the guns and greed of poachers, and worked to advocate for their stories on the global stage. Holly is also a tour leader, inspiring wildlife-positive travel around the world, and you can join her this year in Slovenia. How do these various activities tie together? There is a story here, and you can listen to it right here.
