Last Woman Standing: Anna Campbell

Last Woman Standing: Anna

Adrenaline junkie Anna challenges herself to some of the most extreme and dangerous water sports on earth, such as kite surfing, driving power boats and wakeboarding.

Born in Kenya to an ex-pat family, Anna was sent to boarding school in the UK at the age of 12. Although she might sound posh, don't be fooled by the accent as she is not afraid to challenge herself.

Anna says: "I think being well brought up or having a privileged background doesn't necessarily mean you haven't had to fight for the things you've got."

Anna has a love for travel and a competitive streak, so Last Woman Standing appealed to her straightaway.

Anna explains: "When this opportunity came along, I realised that the chance to visit six incredible corners of the world doesn't come along every day. The sporting aspect of the programme sealed the deal as I have always played competitive sport and I always challenge myself to be the top of the game."

For Anna there are several highlights during the trip, but she is especially proud when a smug local tribesman challenges her to hit the target during buffalo training, because he thinks she can't do it. Anna, gives it her all, and manages to score a hat-trick.

"Right! I thought, show him what us Last Woman Standing girls are made of. I hit it! Three in a row! I drop my whip on the spot and run to meet the guy in the middle of the field, and he throws me onto his shoulders as the locals cheer."

Anna enjoys her stay with the Xavante tribe in Brazil. She finds the community interesting and embraces their traditional way of life.

Anna says: "...the entire culture of the Xavante tribe has been with me ever since my stay and plays a part in many of my decisions and thought processes today."
