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 '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. This book inspires and encourages all of us to battle fear and negativity, and embrace life, risk, opportunities and the glory of our world.
