The inspiring memoir from TV traveller Simon Reeve’s life of amazing adventures in over 120 countries and the most remote and extreme corners of the planet.
TV documentary maker Simon Reeve has dodged bullets on frontlines, hunted with the Bushmen of the Kalahari, dived with manta rays, seals and sharks, survived malaria, walked through minefields, tracked lions on foot, been taught to fish by the President of Moldova, and detained for spying by the KGB. After a decade spent making more than 80 programmes he has become a familiar face on British TV, well known for his extraordinary journeys across jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans, and to some of the most beautiful, dangerous and remote regions of the world. But what most people don’t know is that Simon’s own journey started in a rough area of Acton, West London where he was brought up and left school with no qualifications. For the first time he will tell his life story with an audiobook rich in anecdotes to entertain and inform listeners about some of the most fascinating (and often dangerous) places in the world and what it took to reach them.

Incredible! Iâve loved watching all of Simon Reeveâs programme on BBC, transporting me to these far flung places, many of them I know I would not dare visit. He is such a natural TV presenter. Even although you are watching the programmes through a screen, it feels like he has taken you with him on his journeys. After ever episode I always say I wish I could be like him (knowing that I could never be like him). But to be able to see so much of the world through your own eyes must be truly incredible…
Close to my heart I have dealt with a difficult upbringing, anxiety, the need to explore and the want to survive. This book was a welcome experience.I have travelled to some hellish places and continue to do so in my current job.Reeve got lucky and as he states, sometimes you need luck along with all the normal hard work etc. He was given a break with an advert that his dad noticed and the journey began.This book is written with honesty and humility. If you are looking for a snapshot of how you…
Thought provoking I think this should be compulsory reading for all teenagers. A story of personal triumph over an unpromising early start. Simon comes across as a very humble person. I was in tears at the end even though I am not unaware of all the suffering in the world. I too suffered from depression in my teens and early adult years, partly because I felt so hopeless and ineffectual. When I was young the situation in Biafra was in the news. 50+ years on and nothing has changed.
