More
Adventurer extraordinaire, Steve Backshall has an insatiable passion for the wild world around him and has done ever since he was a small child.
Having taken a degree in English and Theatre Studies at Exeter University, Steve moved to Japan where he studied martial arts, gaining a black belt. Over the years he became involved in writing for the Indonesian Rough Guides which saw him become conversant with local languages, drink blood with previously unconnected tribes, almost get shot in riots in East Timor, come face to face with Komodo Dragons and attempt to walk across Irian Jaya.
As a result, Steve developed ideas for a television series and made tracks for the Colombian jungle where he wrangled with snakes and ended up in jail, through no fault of his own. His resulting videos were snapped up by National Geographic International Channel with Steve employed as ‘Adventurer in Residence’, producing, filming and presenting adventure and natural history programmes.
Steve has circumnavigated the globe on numerous occasions and taken on some of the world’s greatest challenges in the process. For example, he has; ventured into the Sinai Desert, tackled the Israeli paratrooper’s selection course and caught snakes of varying varieties including anacondas, vipers and cobras in addition to competing in adventure races, fell runs and endurance sports and is an experienced BCU four-star white-water kayaker.
