I loved the first few episodes and I cannot wait to finish the entire series. We go deep into the culture of each location and learn so much about various experiences that are outside of the tourist activities. This is such a beautiful view of the world from Jeff's perspective but also an in depth look at his insecurities and vulnerabilities of being his size in the world. It shows the weight that we carry when we explore new places and how sometimes it is necessary to let those ideals go. He is an inspiration to so many and I am so proud and grateful that he had an opportunity to shoot this series for us!

Encouraging, positive show

I truly enjoyed this show. Great to watch with the family. I enjoyed that with each episode, you feel like you're on the journey with him. I learned a lot about different cultures without feeling like I'm sitting through a boring educational show. Jeff has a great personality and a go getter attitude. It really plays well with tv. His sense of adventure and tackling all challenges that come his way is very encouraging! Also, the fact that he's plus sized shows that inclusivity is important. We should never judge a book by its cover. He's out there doing and experiencing things that "fit" and/or "thin" people wouldn't do. Highly recommend!
Exhilarating show that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

This show is amazing! I was on the edge of my seat and holding my breath at multiple points. His tagline is: your life begins where your comfort zone ends! Well, he did that AND MORE!! Every episode had me laughing, crying, and celebrating with Jeff the whole way. I've never heard of some of these places and have now added them to my bucket list. The cinematography is top notch. I have no idea how they were able to get some of the shots they did. Kudos to his team of producers and camera people. Thanks for going out of your comfort zone for us, Jeff! You are an inspiration for us all that we can do hard things!
Jeff representation in travel is awesome

Check out his show on Disney+, Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins. His travel journeys are amazing, great locations documented. These are places I want to see in person & experience the culture. Jeff is pretty funny to watch him go on a couple of excursions. Seeing him try different things on his trip like swimming with a whale shark or rock climbing was eye opening. I would've been terrified with anxiety, but he overcame his fear. Pushing past his fear & trying something new really inspired me. Jeff really makes you feel like anyone can do this. Anyone can travel, anyone can have these experiences, & travel around the world. Totally awesome to see the representation in the travel industry on Disney. Great job Jeff!
Love his enthusiasm

Wow! What a great show. Please have a season 2. Jeff is respectful of cultures, curious and unassuming, he is a pleasure to watch and very encouraging to heavy people to get out and experience life. He seems like a cool guys to hang out with, Jeff you can come to our house for dinner anytime!! He genuine personality is contagious.
All 8 episodes were good. I will miss watching him if it doesn't renew.
NAT GEO we need a season two! There is so much more that he can do and try around the world.
It would be great if more tour operators accepted people of larger size, obviously they can do it. Jeff Did it!

Amazing show. Jeff is real people. He is exploring and learning about new places and cultures. He is genuinely sharing his fears and what these adventures mean to him. As someone you don't really see on travel shows, it is refreshing to see him and the comments shared from the diffetent locations. The locations are varied and fun to watch. It makes you believe, and if Jeff can do, why can't we. He discusses his comfort zone and what he is willing to try. He may have doubts, slips and falls, but he keeps going. He is a true inspiration to all, no mstter age, sex, race, size or ability. I highly recommend it!!!!
I love this show and this host!

What a breath of fresh air Jeff Jenkins and this show are. He is real, unassuming, clear about how he might be viewed and working through it, fearless -- even when afraid, and what an incredible tribute to working out your fears and powering through them. I love Jeff Jenkins!
Like Chris Hemsworth, he challenges himself physically to accomplish things that most of us would never even think about trying. Unlike Hemsworth, he is a big guy not in top shape, but even carrying all the extra weight he powers through grueling tasks and tests and is determined, even when afraid. He is an inspiration and a role model for anyone who is afraid to face their fears.
I have no idea how he will keep that weight on if this show gets picked up for another season, because the physical exertion of the tasks he his undertaking alone, ought to make him drop a lot of weight. Clearly he was an athlete when younger, and said he played football, because he gets through all of it.
What a fun, natural, easy going show that is inspiring for anyone looking to expand their lives. Bravo!

Such a bright light in a dark world!

I have not watched a reality TV show since season 2 of Survivor. The Never Say Never trailer caught my attention and I hoped the show was as fun and entertaining as it looked. It was way beyond that expectation! Jeff Jenkins is all that's right with the world. The adventures, and challenges, were very touching, educational and absolutely awesome. Lots of which I'd never do. Especially those cold adventures. It was so great for someone who still has that childlike wonder about the world, which we all need more of, take us along for the journey. Thank you to Jeff and everyone involved! This show is definitely a bright light in a dark world!

I Watched Seven Episodes Of Never Say Never. I Was Enthralled With Each Episode, This Man Is Amazing. I Must Have Revised My Bucket List Several Times Thanks To Mr. Jenkins. If This Show And This Amazing Host Can't Get You Expand Your Horizons and Live Your Dreams, I Truly Don't Know What Will. I'm Even Revisiting Some Places and Doing the Things I Was Afraid of During My First Visit.
This Young Man Faced So Many Challenges With an Energy I've Never Seen. Mr. Jenkins is Both Inspirational and Informative. I Find Myself Taking Notes, Rewinding and Rewatching Scenes Just to Make Sure I Haven't Missed Anything.
All in All Jeff Jenkins is a Phenomenal Host and I am Thoroughly Enjoying His Journey!!
