Eva zu Beck Audiobooks

Eva zu Beck, born Ewa Bianka Zubek in 1991, is a Polish travel and adventure blogger, vlogger and presenter who has built her reputation by going where mainstream travel content does not. She has visited some 60 countries, and rarely the comfortable ones: she lived in Pakistan for more than a year, and her travels have taken in Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Mongolia.

Much of her appeal lies in the way she makes such places feel reachable. She has a knack for rendering life in the remotest corners of Pakistan, or the streets of Afghanistan, genuinely appealing – and she does it as a solo female traveller, which lends her work a perspective most adventure content simply cannot offer.

Travel writing has always thrived in audio – at heart it is one voice telling you about somewhere you have never been – and zu Beck’s material carries more charge than most because the places are genuinely remote and the journeys genuinely demanding. Our catalogue features The Wilder Way, a title that captures her whole approach: the harder route, deliberately chosen.

For UK listeners this is armchair adventure in the proper sense. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq: territory few will ever see first-hand, described by someone who travelled it alone and, in Pakistan’s case, stayed long enough to call it home. That is the authority The Wilder Way trades on.
