"Sarah was of the most adventurous souls I've ever met," fellow Naked and Afraid star Melissa Lauren wrote on Facebook.

"She wasn't only a fierce survivalist on Naked and Afraid (she completed XL in South Africa with me), but a Breast Cancer survivor who kept an inspiring and positive attitude through her treatment. She loved the ocean, nature and exploring - I always considered her a 'modern day pirate'.

"She was one of those people that saw the world through the eyes of a child, in awe of the things that many of us take for granted. Rest easy Sarah, I know you're out there exploring somewhere."
