Simon Reeve career
Reeve worked in a grocery store, a jewelry store, and a charity shop among other places after dropping out of school. At the age of eighteen, he eventually found work as a post boy for The Sunday Times, a British newspaper.
His employment history at The Sunday Times includes post boy, clippings library, investigative journalism team assistant, and nighttime work on terrorism, nuclear, and weapons smuggling investigations.
When he was eighteen, following a weapons dealer out of Gatwick Airport was one of his early jobs. Investigating the 1993 World Trade Center attack, Reeve was 21 years old at the time and cited his “fearlessness of youth”.
His book, The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden, and the Future of Terrorism, was the first to be published in 1998 and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. It was written by Youssef, Ramzi, and al-Qaeda.
The author gained unrestricted access to classified papers from agencies such as the FBI and CIA that provided information about the formation, goals, and presence of al-Qaeda. Despite this, his book, which foresaw a terrorist act of cataclysmic proportion, was not taken seriously.
Based in part on his book, Reeve became a media expert on terrorism following the events of September 11, 2001, in the United States of America.
At first, the BBC had wanted him to do a show about infiltrating al-Qaeda. After a while, he started producing travel documentaries. Reeve’s travel documentaries have been called “the best travel television programs of the past five years” by Tom Hall, travel editor for Lonely Planet magazines.
Reeve made an appearance in a Great British Bake Off charity edition in January of 2013. Step by Step: The Life in My Journeys, Reeve’s autobiography, which chronicles his lowly origins to become a prominent author and television personality, was released on September 6, 2018.
Reeve was a malaria ambassador for the Malaria Awareness Campaign after contracting the disease while traveling near the Equator.
As one of the world’s foremost environmental organizations, WWF, counts Reeve among its Council of Ambassadors, together with Sir David Attenborough and other conservation experts.
In 2020, Reeve received a commission from BBC Two to host Cornwall With Simon Reeve, his first travel program set in the United Kingdom, in addition to Incredible Journeys With Simon Reeve.
The latter episode is scheduled to be a “look back” program akin to Michael Palin: Travels of a Lifetime or Joanna Lumley’s Unseen Adventures (a show in which both Reeve and Lumley discussed the travels of the former Monty Python actor).
Reeve was named Executive Producer of The Balkans (2020), an Amazon Prime-distributed internet television series, in 2020.
