I’m Andrew Benfield…
….a very curious traveller! Over twenty years ago, feeling that I didn’t really belong, I left my home in England to go to see the world. Somehow, I’ve never quite made it back.
Let me bring you along on my adventures as I uncover some breathtaking places, remarkable people, and perhaps a whole new way of seeing and being along the way!
For my full story, including what this ‘Particular Bear’ business is all about, please see here 🙏.
Yeti
My BBC podcast and radio show that sees my friend Richard and I go adventuring across the Himalayas in search of the truth behind this legendary creature - and soon discovering we’ve bitten off far more than we can chew…
"A thrilling roller-coaster of a book… gripping from start to finish - madcap, funny, evocative, daring…and quite soppy at times."














How magic mushrooms changed my mind.
