Ellen Magellan Falterman presents Finding Your River

Finding Your River is a story of realizing and executing your life's purpose. Ellen shares her personal journey relating experiences from adventure expeditions around the world. These include a three month canoe exploration of the Amazon Basin and a four month cycling tour from England to Greece with her brother Patrick. Ellen's story continues after suddenly losing her brother. She finds motivation and solace in his memory, and continues her adventures on a (mostly) solo river trip from Kansas City on the Missouri, and down the Mississippi to the gulf, then west along the coastline and up the Intracoastal Waterway to Galveston Bay, completing this journey on the Trinity River near her childhood home. Ellen looks to her experience and mentorship from her brother as she plans her next big adventure of solo rowing around the world.
