About Jim Woodman

At seventeen, Jim Woodman was sent into the heart of the Honduran rainforest on an expedition to find a lost city. What he found instead was a journey that would define the rest of his life.

Navigating not just the untamed wilderness of Central America but also the complex and often dangerous human terrain around him, Jim learned early that survival is as much about reading people as it is about reading a trail. The jungle tested his endurance; the people around him tested everything else.

That expedition—raw, transformative, and at times harrowing—planted the seeds of a story Jim carried with him for decades. Between Two Jungles is the result: a coming-of-age memoir that moves between the green depths of the rainforest and the equally tangled landscape of adolescence, trust, and self-discovery.

Jim Woodman writes with the clarity of someone who has spent a lifetime turning experience into understanding. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world, an unflinching honesty about human nature, and the conviction that the stories we carry deserve to be told.
