About this listen

 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 a book rich in anecdotes to entertain and inform readers about some of the most fascinating (and often dangerous) places in the world and what it took to reach them.

Critic reviews

Reeve is a most likeable travelling companion, and the joy of the open road radiates from these pages
Genuinely interesting stories... remarkable
This vivid account of his fascinating, often hair-raising crusades feels more like an enthralling exchange over coffee with a friend than a formal autobiography.
Fascinating... a very honest account of the world as he has seen it, from Acton to the ends of the Earth
Cracking stories from his travels
Simon Reeve, a man whose very name is a guarantee of interesting television. Outstanding.
TV's most interesting globetrotter
The craziest (or bravest) man on TV
In the last decade, he's made a name for himself as British TV's most adventurous presenter. He's hunted with the Bushmen of Kalahari, hung out with biker outlaws in Australia and been taught to fish by the president of Moldova.
You can be sure to trust Simon to find a fun story. Simon might just be the best tour guide in the world.
Reeve is in a class of his own
It is an account of his mind's journey to inner peace - and it is wonderfully life-affirming (Max Pemberton)

Simon is excellent both as an author and narrator. production quality was let down in the end by last 2 chapters marred by what sounds like persistent doorbells! Maddening and spoils what is an excellent listen, hope audible fixes this soon

I learned a lot from Simon's stories and enjoyed the window on his world, the places he's visited and people he has met.

I am glad he narrated it himself; he's not the best narrator but brings an honesty to it which I really appreciated.

Overall, quite excellent. Especially the investigative journalism into terrorism, absolutely mind-blowing and especially from someone so young at the time.

Brilliant!

Fascinating early life and career

Simon is truly empathic and very down to earth. His book is a true account of a life well lived, having learned from the challenges and opportunities that have fallen him. What he has experienced is astonishing and sometimes beyond imagination. Because of this, this book is all together mesmerising and enthralling. A must for any Audio book fan- enjoy!

Magnificent to its core.
