Susan Conrad is a classically shy introvert trapped in an extrovert personality, as well as a long-distance paddler who can’t be left alone in the same room with dark chocolate. She grew up in New York State’s Catskill Mountains, evolving into a rough ‘n tumble—although quite clumsy—tomboy with minimal athletic ability. Her parents tried to instill a deep fear of water in her so she’s convinced that a combination of sheer stubbornness, rebellion and naiveté eventually led her to solo paddle the 1,200-mile water trail known as the Inside Passage, which winds its way from Washington State to Alaska.
Her journey was a profoundly life-changing experience and Susan loves sharing her fears, epiphanies, and lessons learned with others to empower them to truly ‘get’ that they are infinitely capable of accomplishing anything they want in life! Passionate about the positive impact that adventure and sport can have on the lives of women, Susan is an ambassador for Women Who Paddle, and uses her human-powered journeys as a platform to inspire and enable women to get outside, and get exploring. She’s also an EXPED adventure ambassador and sponsored athlete.
In addition to Wildly Inside, Susan has penned two other books about the Inside Passage: Inside; One Woman’s Journey Through the Inside Passage, a five-time award-winning memoir, and Inside my Sea of Dreams, a children's book inspiring young readers (ages 4-9) to follow their dreams and believe in themselves.

Wildly Inside transports you through the Inside Passage of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska—a visual journey where you'll smell the muskiness of a whale's breath, hear the thunderous waves of a wide-awake ocean, feel the reverberations of the big ships passing by, and be totally awestruck by the magic of it all. Travel through the Salish Sea, the Great Bear Rainforest, and coastal Southeast Alaska via imagery created largely at the pace of a kayak. Witness the beauty of this remarkable seascape while learning about the creatures who make their homes here. This photo book makes a lovely companion to the author's award-winning memoir Inside: One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage. One dollar of each book sale will benefit Pacific Wild, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia.
Shooting straight from her paddlers' hip, Conrad presents imagery and verbiage which is honest, inspiring, and telling. You'll feel her passion and steadfastness as you travel through the remarkable ecosystems that comprise the Inside Passage.
WILDLY WONDERFUL! Wildly Inside is an amazing, blazing companion to Susan Marie Conrad's riveting narrative account, INSIDE, about her 1,148-mile solo kayak journey through the Inside Passage to Alaska. This book is packed full of one stunning picture after another, complemented by inspirational quotes and nature factoid nuggets. Every page is a wonderful window into one of the most beautiful geographical areas in the world, and at the same time a progressive reveal of the author's soul, overflowing with honor, respect and love for the challenging coastal corridor she paddled through, dodging bodacious bears, breaching whales, haystack waves, and topaz icebergs. Go ahead, take the ride with this adventurer, writer, photographer, and mermaid with a kayak tail—you won't be disappointed!
