About this listen

Simon Reeve reveals more of his journeys, tales and lessons for life.

In Journeys to Impossible Places, best-selling author and presenter Simon Reeve reveals the inside story of his most astonishing adventures and experiences, around the planet and close to home.

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.

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 enjoyable

Not the book I was initially expecting. Some of Simon’s recollection drag out a bit but overall I appreciated his candour. I especially enjoyed the last 90min of the book. The last chapter is outstanding.

A personal journey as much as travel writing

Impossible Places gives the reader a lot to think about and reflect upon, just as journeys should. Not only is attention brought to environmental and humanitarian issues, but also to being a parent, making a home, and belonging to a community. A really inspiring and enjoyable listen!

Raw, life affirming and pure honesty.

Probably the most interesting, emotion provoking memoir I have listened to in years.
Simon is a fantastic narrator of his own well thought out compilation of life highlights.
