“Simon Yeats has 3 distinct sides to his life. His funny side, his serious side and his dark side. In each case, his experiences are unique.”
The three sides of Simon Yeats' life are unlike any other.
His funny side, while spending the last 33 years of his life living overseas from his native Australia as an ex-pat in both the US and South America, he has extensively traveled and written 4 hilarious books of the Lesser Known Travel Tips series that cover experiences from suffering with severe illness while white water rafting in Nepal, setting fire to a California Mountain range, being mugged in Brazil, bungee jumping in South Africa with a broken leg, and confronting members of the European Mafia, in two separate countries.
His serious side. Professionally Simon has achieved medical miracles with patients who had been considered to be unable to rehabbed by doctors and therapists. He has made 40 paralyzed patients walk again. He has helped a patient declared brain dead by doctors for 6 weeks walk up stairs in 4 days, and another patient who was struck by lightening and who the experts declared had completely fried his spinal cord to be able to stand and walk.
His dark side. Simon has faced death nine, or ten, times. He has battled mental health issues and the hardest fight of his life after his son was kidnapped to South America and has been held captive for 14 years. This incredible and inspirational battle for the sake of his son are detailed in his memoir My SECOND Life.
