Pip Stewart is an adventurer, author and filmmaker, with a particular interest in family travel, wellbeing and outdoor connection. She is also a trained meditation instructor. After completing her History and Politics degree at Oxford, Pip worked as a journalist and news anchor in Asia for 5 years, reporting extensively for major networks like BBC, CNN and The Telegraph, before embarking on her first major long-form expedition, a remarkable year-long 10,000-mile biking trek from Kuala Lumpur to the UK, taking in 26 countries along the way.
With a strong commitment to environmental advocacy, Pip subsequently set off on a 3000-mile Amazon journey, documenting the devastating impact of deforestation in the six-part series Transamazonica alongside Reza Pakravan. More recently, Pip achieved a world-first with an all-female team, kayaking the full length of the Essequibo River in Guyana, detailed vividly in her debut book Life Lessons from the Amazon: A Guide to Life from One Epic Jungle Adventure (Summersdale).
Since becoming a mum to her two young children Willow and Finn (both aged under five), Pip’s focus has shifted to more homegrown family travels. With a huge passion for nature and the great outdoors, Pip believes strongly that becoming a parent should not restrict your sense of adventure and that the natural world is a wonderful place to support children’s learning and development.
Pip's collaborations with brands like Craghoppers, Merrell, Honda, Bailey of Bristol and Ireland Tourism showcase her thirst for adventure, whilst her contagious enthusiasm for the outdoors has resulted in various partnerships, from promoting climate change awareness with Southend Borough Council, to wellbeing campaigns with Japan National Tourist Organisation and Burt’s Bees. She is also the co-host of the popular travel podcast The First Mile with Ash Bhardwaj.
Pip is currently working on her first book for children.
