I Almost Died Once is a memoir of Sam Montalvo’s remarkable first-person account of her travels from her hometown of Melbourne, Australia, across seven continents and through 100 plus countries.

Broken bones, car accidents, horse accidents, rafting accidents, volcanic eruptions, floods, making art in a war zone, having a gun pointed at her, and witnessing a witch-burning. It's all is just another day of travel for Sam.

Thrilling, inspiring, and unforgettable, I Almost Died Once views the world through the eyes of one woman whose passion for adventure and the unknown took her further than most people can even imagine.
