In TV adventurer Simon Reeve's bestselling memoir he describes how he has journeyed across epic landscapes, dodged bullets on frontlines, walked through minefields and been detained for spying by the KGB. His travels have taken him across jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans, and to some of the most beautiful, dangerous and remote regions of the world.
In this revelatory account of his life Simon gives the full story behind some of his favourite expeditions, and traces his own inspiring personal journey back to leaving school without qualifications, teetering on a bridge, and then overcoming his challenges by climbing to a 'Lost Valley' and changing his life . . . step by step.
Customer Reviews
A read that pulls you in.
I’m not a big book reader by any standards, but I am a big Simon Reeve fan, and this book documenting his early work had me constantly picking up where I left off - daily. Can’t wait for more.
Amazing book!
This book is amazing and is not your usual travel book, Simon does an amazing job of showing the high points, but also highlighting issues in the areas he travels to. The story of Fatima in a Somali refuge camp in Kenya is shocking, and based purely on the lottery of we're your born.
Will read all of Simon's books, and really cannot recommend this one high enough.
Brilliant Read
Great book!
Simon was first an inspiration to me via his many bbc television series. This book is a deep insight to the man behind the tv, and what it means and takes to go on these incredible journeys. It’s a page turner and made me reflect on the position of my own life and what I can do and experience for myself.
