In 2013, Dani was contacted by the Discovery Channel to test her knowledge and skills against the “Everest of all survival challenges”: Naked and Afraid. She has since completed multiple wilderness survival challenges- as a vegan.

Dani was able to apply her knowledge and skills to the ultimate test, taking on her first 21-day Naked and Afraid challenge in the jungles of Magdelena, Colombia. She was partnered with Charlie and they were allowed 2 items: a fire starter and a kukri.

Shortly after recovering from her 21 day success, Dani was asked to participate in Discovery Channel’s first ever 40-day Naked and Afraid XL challenge in the desert savanna of Vichada, Colombia: where 8 out of 12 expert survivalists made it to the finish line. Dani’s items on this challenge were a fire starter and a neck knife.
