About Jeanie

Jeanie Davison

Jeanie Davison is a TV producer/director, writer, motorcyclist and adventure traveller - but not necessarily in that order!

Her television work has taken her all over the world, including 10 years in the UK making programmes for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Five, five years in New Zealand for TVNZ and TV3, and four years in Australia developing new programmes for the ABC, National Geographic, Discovery and History Channel. She’s filmed in countless far-flung corners of the planet, from obscure islands off Panama and the remotest parts of the Australian Outback to the arid plains of Russia and the great wildernesses of Africa.

Jeanie’s also worked as an Adventure Expert for Big Earth, the company behind Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s Long Way Round and Long Way Down series and Charley’s By Any Means and Race To Dakar documentaries. In 2010, she and Long Way... producer Russ Malkin took part in an epic UNICEF trek across the Sahara Desert (near the border between Morocco and Algeria) which Jeanie filmed and photographed for UNICEF and for Russ’s recently-published adventure travel book, Big Earth: 101 Amazing Adventures. 

She’s on the organising committee for the Adventure Travel Film Festival, which has just been held in Australia 15-17 February 2013. An exciting list of adventurers, including Mondo Enduro‘s Austin Vince, Red Tape,White Knuckles author Lois Pryce and 2RideTheWorld Brit motorbikers Lisa and Simon Thomas were there: http://jeaniedavison.com/2013/02/18/aussie-adventure-travel-film-festival-2013/
