ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the travel narrations of Jade Hameister, the youngest person to complete the “polar hat-trick”. Hameister’s travel stories are narrated across different media including memoir, documentary and social media. We argue that this developing life narrative archive is an example of intermedial storytelling. Hameister presents an autobiographical story of self that adapts to and transforms in relation to the various media she uses. There is a direct and inevitable relationship between these texts. This study examines the ways that Hameister communicates across different media to diverse audiences, how she constructs her developing identities as a travel narrator, and how the affordances of these different media forms influence Hameisterʼs narration.
