What does it take to follow your dream? Quite a bit if it requires traversing two continents from London to Cape Town. After their seven-month overland dream safari quickly turns into a nightmare, one couple sets off across Africa — alone — from the heights of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the depths of war-torn Mozambique and beyond. Their immersion in the controlled chaos of African life leads from one wild, quirky, edge-of-your-seat adventure to another. This is a look at the real Africa — unsanitized for your protection.

A tenacious man, woman and their Tibetan horse dare to challenge fate and the bounds of endurance on an "impossible" 1000-kilometer Himalayan trek from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmandu.

A riveting tale of courage and survival, as well as a poignant eulogy for a vanishing Shangri-La.

It was an idea born while hiking the famed Camino de Santiago across Spain. Two men shared a dream of trekking from Europe to the Middle East on the ultimate road trip. It just happened to be a path walked by thousands of Crusaders, pilgrims and merchants during the Middle Ages, a time when wars, unforgiving weather, wild dogs, and an ever changing cast of characters tested even the toughest traveler. As they say, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Two modern-day travelers discover the truth when they take on that same ultimate challenge—to hike the Templar Trail across 11 countries and 2,600 miles to Jerusalem. Throwing themselves out into the universe with bad maps, blisters, but plenty of optimism, they face identical challenges in search of adventure, life’s meaning and lasting peace. Proving that even today, there’s nothing like a little war to shake your strongest resolve.
