Episodes
Ben enters the mountains of central Portugal to live with 39-year-old Alex, a British man who traded in his lucrative retail career for his own mountainside hideaway. He learns how Alex survived without basic amenities to create his home.
Ben ventures to the 'Emerald Isle' to visit Georg and Bettina, an elderly European couple (from Austria and Germany) who made the Irish wilderness their home nearly 40 years ago.
Ben ventures to the lesser-known Greek island of Andros to visit Sandy, founder of a remote animal shelter perched on the slopes of the island's highest peak. He shares a home with 25 dogs, 8 donkeys, a horse, a mule and more than 20 cats.
We join Ben on the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, where he is staying with Davina and Todd and their family. Davina and Todd are a spirited couple who left the city for an empty field.
Ben journeys to one of Britain's furthest outposts - the Shetland Islands to meet Helen and Jason, a couple living on the edge of the weather-beaten island of Yell.
A British urbanite follows in the footsteps of various individuals, who against all odds, have willingly forsaken the luxuries and lifestyle of the modern world, for a less-than-ordinary life in the wilderness.
