It's sweeps week here at ANBRWY! You get a NEW interview EVERY DAY!!
We kick off the week with interviewing Tiffany Johnson.
At the age of 21, Tiffany’s adventure started in the search for self-discovery, as many young people do as a rite of passage. After leaving home at 17, going to university and falling in love with the wrong man, Tiffany was finally brave enough to leave and pursue adventure. She explored Europe in hope of finding her missing puzzle piece.
And she found it, only the day before her life would change forever.
Tiffany is a survivor from the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster, where 21 young people lost their lives.
