Bear Grylls: 'I should have died several times on Mount Everest'

Too much! I seem to always be on a plane to somewhere. I try to embrace it though and treat it as calm time before the storms. I’ve been filming in some pretty varied terrain so far this year – the Alps, Kenya, Bulgaria, the Pyrenees, Canary Islands and Panama. The best escape was with the family, spending some downtime at sea just us and the boat off the Exuma Islands, which are 35 miles south east of Nassau in the Bahamas. Think about what you want to get out of an experience. Approach new adventures with an open mind and it’s incredible what you will learn, about the world and yourself.
