An avid traveller, constantly curious to learn about new cultures, TV presenter Simon Reeve has been to more than 100 countries, filming all over the world for the past 15 years.
But being grounded by the pandemic has paused his plans, giving him an opportunity to take stock, reflect upon the wonderful people he's encountered, the epic landscapes he's covered, and the events that have transformed his life.
Many of those highlights feature in new BBC Two four-part series, Incredible Journeys, a retrospective of his greatest trips, given a present day spin.
Time at home has also helped Reeve to re-evaluate the importance and value of travel.
