Following his acclaimed journeys around the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, Simon Reeve embarks on his most ambitious tropical adventure yet: circling the Tropic of Cancer, the northern border of Earth's tropical region through 18 countries. Simon's extraordinary journey takes him from the paradise beaches of Mexico's Pacific Coast, across the Caribbean, the Sahara, crossing borders in North Africa closed to foreigners for decades and then on through the deserts of Arabia and the remote jungles of Asia, to finish in Hawaii. Along the way, Simon witnesses the bizarre, beautiful and the dangerous, including bathing an elephant, driving through a minefield on the Mauritania border and making a midnight escape from Burma; he meets amazing people - from masked female wrestlers in Mexico to Haitian refugees in the Bahamas and explores the challenges of climate change, poverty, the drugs trade, industrial pollution and forgotten conflicts. Over 22,835 miles through some of the most hostile environments on the planet, Simon takes us on a fascinating, entertaining and gripping journey.
