Sunday Times bestselling author of Step by Step and beloved BBC travel presenter Simon Reeve opens up about the personal story behind his most astonishing adventures - around the planet and close to home.

'The most enthralling book I have read so far this year. Not only a wonderfully detailed description of some of Simon's most challenging journeys for the BBC, but also frank and honest accounts of his own life struggles and relationships which I found almost moved me to tears at times. You've gotta love the boy!' - READER REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'I love every programme Simon does and his books are just as real and through the same voice. He's always so open and honest and his stories give you a real desire for travel, life and empathy for the world and its people.' - READER REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The author's honesty, modesty, and decency shine through these pages.' - READER REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Simon takes us on the epic and thrilling adventures in beautiful, tricky and downright dangerous corners of the world, as he travelled through the Tropics, to remote paradise islands, jungles dripping with heat and life, and on nerve-wracking secret missions.

Simon shares what his unique experiences and encounters have taught him, and the deeper lessons he draws from joy and raw grief in his personal life, from desperate struggles with his own fertility and head health, from wise friends, fatherhood, inspiring villagers, brave fighters, his beloved dogs, and a thoughtful Indian sadhu.

Journeys to Impossible Places inspires and encourages all of us to battle fear and negativity, and embrace life, risk, opportunities and the glory of our world.©2021 Shoot and Scribble Limited Adventure Travel Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Adventure Heartfelt Inspiring Thought-Provoking

I loved everything about this book, and will listen again over time to most or all of it. Simon shares so many stories and nuggets of wisdom stemming from his travels and personal challenges, which are all honest, insightful and at times very moving. Highly recommended.

Thoughtful, wise, moving and fascinating.

Simon Reeve is such a fantastic role model and inspiration. This audiobook, like 'Step by Step' inspired me to do more with my life, adventure more and do my best to shy away from laziness and fearful moments. So well written and read, brilliant.

Just brilliant!

Really enjoyed this audiobook read by the author, Simon Reeve, as he continues his journey from 'Srep by Step'. His account, like his programmes, are compelling with the right mix of humour, drama and 'light and shade'. Will be recommending it to friends and also my students.

Excellent. Surprising and Uplifting
