Synopsis

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.

Very earnest, great detail about his adventures, likeable chap. Got a bit bored of him gushing about how great his wife was and adoration for his son - you know when someone keeps talking to you about how great their kid is? That. But otherwise a great read.......more

Love it! Once again, Simon took us on an exciting, educational and dangerous trip around the world, and in all this he did'n forget the most important thing - himself, his family and emotions. Pack your things and go on a crazy adventure.......more

Goodreads review by Emma on February 20, 2023

I simply adore this man and have been a fan for many years now. Having read his previous book Step By Step, I wasn’t sure if he was able to equal it, but he does just that and more, following him into the next stage of his life and travels. Simons own vulnerability and candidness about his struggles......more
