Sabine Kuegler was born in Nepal in 1972 and spent her childhood in the jungles of West Papua, where her family lived with an indigenous tribe that was hardly known at the time, the Fayu.
At the age of 17, Sabine Kuegler left the jungle and completed her schooling in Switzerland. In 2005, her first book “Jungle Child” was published, a world bestseller that was translated into over 30 languages.
In 2012, sick and abandoned by doctors, she returned to the jungle, where she lived for almost five years with various tribes in the deepest jungles of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and finally found healing. Today, Sabine Kuegler works as an entrepreneur and is committed to fighting social and cultural ills.
