If you count all the dangerous situations that happened to Jeremy Wade, you get a large number. However, it is not only the quantity, but also the drama and the degree of the danger that has arisen. He risked his life under water, in the air and on the mountains and emerged victorious from all the "adventures".
Biography
Jeremy Wade was born in 1956 in the English city of Ipswich, which stands on the Stour River. His parents were avid fishermen, and Jeremy went fishing with them as a very young boy. This occupation fascinated him so much that he did nothing but talk about different fish.
At the age of sixteen, Jeremy joined the British Carp Research Group.
Wade received a corresponding education: he became a bachelor of zoology. When he was twenty-six years old, he read about exotic fishing for barbs, and could not resist the temptation - he went to India to look at this activity and go fishing himself.
Since those about expeditions for him - just work, which is associated with some difficulties. But this is in his opinion, and many who have visited with him in East Asia, on the Congo River, on the Amazon and in Russia, say that these expeditions are very intense and associated with heavy loads. Moreover, these trips take about two or three months in time.
Distant expeditions
Wade himself was infected with malaria on these expeditions, he was arrested for espionage, he survived the plane crash. Not to mention the river monsters, many of whom are ready, if not to eat a daredevil, then to cripple for sure.
To earn money for these trips, Jeremy changed many occupations, and each job brought him closer to the next trip. He worked as a PR consultant, translator, journalist, dishwasher and the like.
Ten years after the first expedition to India, the traveler had accumulated so much interesting and exclusive material that would be enough for a whole book. And in co-authorship with Paul Booth Wade published the book "Down the Crazy River", where he described the most vivid impressions of the expeditions to Congo and India.
Jeremy is sure that such work is a kind of creativity, and without inspiration and love for nature, such things will not work. You can trust him, because for a long time he organized expeditions with his own funds, and did not earn a dime from his dangerous occupation.
Later, in 2002, Jeremy began to host the program "Fishermen in the Jungle" on the BBC, and a few years later, Animal Planet organized a special program for him "River Monsters", which is popular not only among fishermen, but also among those who I have never held a fishing rod in my hands.
Personal life
Jeremy Wade completely closed his personal life from journalists, so it is not known whether he has a family.
But he willingly gives interviews, talking about his expeditions. He is a true connoisseur of nature, a connoisseur of it.
Jeremy researches rivers so thoroughly that for more reliability of the information he learned Portuguese and speaks fluently in their language with the aborigines of the Congo.
In addition to fishing, he loves to do aikido, climbs rocks well, and is also fond of scuba diving.
