In 2016, desperate for a drastic change, Bex Band decided to walk the length of Israel with her husband: a 1000km trek including a dangerous crossing through the vast Negev desert.Shed never done anything like it before and the experience changed her life, building back her confidence and self-esteem.Three Stripes South tells the story of this transformative adventure - battling heat, exhaustion, self-doubt and prejudice - and the new life Bex built for herself when she got home, founding the Love Her Wild womens adventure community.Lacking confidence is something that a lot of women can relate to says Bex. For me personally, it began at school with undiagnosed dyslexia and bullying. This fed into my adult years where I found myself in a vicious cycle of unhappy jobs and bouts of depression. I had low self-esteem and a belief that I really wasnt capable of achieving much in life.Fast forward to today and Bex has transformed her life, tackling gender inequality in adventure travel, and championing women in the outdoors through regular talks, blogging and leading women on adventures all over the world. Nominated for multiple awards for her work advocating women in adventure, her story is an inspiration.

Acknowledgements

Juggling a newborn, a global pandemic and a book deal was only made possible thanks to my wonderful adventure and life partner, Gil. I am forever grateful for your support and determination to co-parent so that neither of us should have to sacrifice our dreams.

I wondered if I was taking on too much as a new parent, but I have been blessed with the most relaxed daughter you never complained as I typed one-handed while nursing you or balanced a laptop on my knees while you slept on me. Thank you Rivi for bringing so much joy and inspiration into my life. Im very proud to be your mum!

Thank you to my own mum (Barbara Band) for filling my life with books and words. To my author friends, Emma Rosen and Emily Hunt, for helping me through the publishing process. To my writing group Iona, Thys, Soraya, Emma, Alison, Ruth and Catherine for keeping me accountable through lockdowns. To Jennifer Barclay and the team at Bradt for making this book a reality. And last, but not least, my blog readers, followers and all the amazing women in the Love Her Wild community: thank you for the ongoing support. I never take it for granted.

Chapter 1 Is there anything more reliable in life than a toilet cubicle - photo 3

Chapter 1

Is there anything more reliable in life than a toilet cubicle? Locked in a familiar cocoon of white walls, knowing this space is, temporarily, only for you, you are offered a few moments of uninterrupted peace to do as you please. You can simply sit there looking dishevelled without needing to care, give yourself the headspace to conjure up an internal pep talk or waste time on your phone away from judgemental stares.

It was in a toilet cubicle that I found myself trying to calm my nerves after a noisy flight and the chaotic mayhem that is Israeli airport arrivals. Id had to answer a dozen questions on who I was and where Id come from to get through. When I eventually received the stamp of approval, saying that I was granted entry, my stress levels increased even more. The reason for my being in the country suddenly felt very real and I had the overwhelming feeling I was spinning downhill out of control, past the point of being able to slam on the brakes.
