Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild

The show is amazing. I have been watching it for five years now and just can't stop watching the reruns again and again (accessible on BBC Earth here in Norway). Not only does it take us to different places on Earth introducing such interesting characters, but it gives a different perspective on life, helps to watch out for "the rat race", filtering out the distractions (toxic waste) that come with modern life and social media. Thank you to the whole team.

Ben Fogle's New Lives In The Wild is a superb show - sensitively put together, combining brilliantly an empathy for the people who have decided, for whatever reason, to live differently, together with a genuine care for the environment and ecology. It's an inspiration!

And who better to bring each story to life than Ben Fogle, who shows a true yet judgement free interest and understanding of the lives he's living and breathing for that week.

What an articulate, respectful, willing, thoughtful man - a true gentleman of this world.

Please keep making this show! It teaches us all so much and shows us that there are so many rich and colourful ways of being!

I'm not a big TV watcher but I immediately became transfixed and emotionally moved by this inspirational and heart warming series. How many of us have felt stuck and lost in our lives? Living the standard life template that we are taught to follow and finding ourselves overwhelmed with discontent and a lack of purpose. Having dreams, passions and desires hidden within us that we lack the courage to nourish. This series introduces individuals and couples that have felt these exact feelings and have had the courage to pursue a new life that embodies their dreams and desires. They are vulnerable and articulate what motivated them to leave their former lives behind and what they have found in their lives. Often replacing complexity with simplicity, reconnecting with themselves and finding happiness and purpose. Finding a sense of belonging.

We only live this life once and I believe this series will inspire many who are unhappy to pursue that dream within.

Ben Fogle has a beautiful gift of being able to connect with people, reserving judgment and allowing people to tell their story with truth and transparency.

I hope you enjoy this series as much as I have :)

Such an inspirational show for anyone interested in escaping the shackles of 9-5 life. The focus person(s) in each episode are always so individual, intriguing and down to earth. Ben Fogle is a wonderful presenter who asks just the right amount of personal questions to begin to understand the reasons and consequences of the major life changes the hosts have been through, without prying too deeply and without judgement. I always feel so calm and moved with each episode.

The best show on TV and has been since it started. Ben and the team produce magical and heart warming TV which is the perfect antidote to much of the negativity and misery we see through our screens.

I hope they keep making these series forever, I really miss it when it is not on air. There really is no other show like it.
