The Stanfords Travel Writers Festival welcomes back the author, broadcaster and adventurer Simon Reeve as he talks to Paul Blezard about his bestselling memoir Step by Step.
His travels have taken him across jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans, and to some of the most beautiful, dangerous and remote regions of the world. Simon gives the story behind some of his expeditions, and traces his own inspiring personal journey back to his troubled teen years, depression, breakthroughs and coping strategies, his early work as postboy at the Sunday Times and the power of saying ‘yes’ to everything to create opportunities. Hear about his first investigative mission with pathetic Neo Nazis; his debut book that introduced readers to information about Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda and catching malaria in Gabon. Simon discussed the pandemic and the effects lockdowns have had on travel and mental health.
