Journeys to Impossible Places continues the story Simon started in his phenomenal Sunday Times best seller Step by Step, which traced the first decades of his life from depressed and unemployed teenager through to his early TV programmes. Now Simon takes us on the epic and thrilling adventures that followed, 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.

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. 

Known for his award-winning travel documentaries such as Places That Don’t Exist and Tropic of Cancer, alongside his books on international terrorism and modern history, Simon Reeve has now published a memoir of his adventures, Step by Step. Simon Reeve talks to us about his latest book and his unusual education and career trajectory and tells us his key piece of safety advice.
