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.

One of my favourite shows, I am ardent follower, I have watched every episode and felt enriched sharing the remarkable changes people can make. Ben Fogle is the perfect presenter, so compassionate, calming and friendly that each person he stays with feels comfortable to open up and tell their stories. At many times moving and emotional. I hope this show will continue for many years.

Well done to Ben and his team for showing us new and different lives in the wild. I love watching them and all so different each time.

Always so kind and insightful, not judging, allowing the life stories through to the viewers.

Has given me more of an open view! Look forward to more!

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.
