Journeys to Impossible Places: In Life and Every Adventure

Product Information

If I decide pursuing something is important, I try to act urgently and aggressively – full throttle – rather than be half-arsed. It’s so easy to be seduced into thinking we’re timeless and eternal, with all the time in the world. The endless facts about how our natural world is being threatened makes for quite harrowing reading and will, hopefully, inspire change. Live in conversation for this exclusive event, Simon will reveal the inside story of some of his most astonishing adventures and experiences, around the planet and close to home – from beautiful, tricky, and downright dangerous corners of the world, travelling through the Tropics, to remote paradise islands, jungles dripping with heat and life, and nerve-wracking secret missions. More than an autobiography really, it's a travel book and a deep dive into the damage we are doing to our planet.

Arrested by the KGB, chased by cheetahs, hunting with the Bushmen of the Kalahari… Simon Reeve has lived quite a life. The struggles he has had to have a child and some of his home-spun philosophy for life may not be for everyone if they just want an account of his adventures. He comes across eager to seize every, and any, opportunity to learn about other cultures to our own, and give a voice to the marginalised. 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.One of the most significant problems affecting fertility is endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which can mimic and interfere with the hormones that regulate and run our bodies. About the Author: Simon Reeve is an author and adventurer who has travelled to more than 130 countries, making multiple award-winning TV series exploring and explaining the world. I had loads of sperm, she explained, but their morphology was terrible, the shape and structure deformed. Nothing’s really hidden in the Lakes, given it’s the second most visited tourist area in the UK after London (visited by 20 million people each year), but this isolated valley feels like one of the more hidden jewels,’ says Simon. He then spent five years writing his first book The New Jackals about Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, which was published in 1998, followed by further books and his television debut.

I just want to crack on with living as much of a life as I possibly can, and share it with others as well. I do highly recommend it, but ONLY if the reader sticks it all the way through to reading all three books. I tried to keep a sense of perspective – refraining from announcing our offspring to every stranger on the street. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.For me, it felt very open and honest as well as being extremely interesting and a great accompaniment to Simon’s TV series. Because Anya and I had conflicting priorities, I suggested we used a 0-10 point system that I often use to help quantify mine and others’ beliefs and desires. And actually, because of the size of the Lakes, (almost a thousand square miles), it means you can, quite quickly, get away from the hordes if you want, and find properly romantic visuals and situations. The book provokes thought in every chapter - whether about the tragedies of environmental destruction, poverty, the core traits of human kindness that permeate cultural barriers, or the importance of family, friendship and experiences.

An autobiography that is more profound than many “self-help books” that takes you on a real rollercoaster. It’s a story about the choices we all make every day, following either the darkness that blinds us to who we really are, or the light that shows us how precious we have always been. The book was written during the pandemic lockdown and shows a great use of time by a traveller unable to travel. I was pulled through the story, willing the light to win, learning the lessons right along with the characters, and allowing my heart to change as the characters hearts changed. He effectively combines the genre of travel writing with investigative journalism, and brings to light little-known conflicts and events from around the world.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. It felt like an industry trying to muddle its way through a healthcare crisis, as its patients are too. I recommend this to all his admirers and also to anyone who wants to know more about themselves and the amazing world we live in.
