Globe Trekker

Watching every series of Globe Trekker never fail to inspire me to pick up my rustic backpack once again to travel. My favourite traveling host got to be Ian Wright and Megan McCormick. They are both funny, easy going on the screen, and definitely spontaneous. What a loss it must be for Lonely Planet to sell away their TV program arm (which is now Globe Trekker) and then recreate a new television arm called "6 Degrees". In comparison, Globe trekker definitely tops "6 Degrees" in terms of its nature to stay true to backpacking, the style of filming, the countries they filmed and introduced. Below are a few that I have watched and recommend.

Arab Gulf States
Middle East
Queensland & the Great Barrier Reef
Arctic Canada
American Rockies
Baja California
Chile and Easter Island
Deep South USA
Iceland and Greenland
Ireland
New York
New Zealand
North Thailand & Laos
Northeast Brazil
Outback Australia
Rio de Janeiro
Russia
Tahiti and Samoa
Vienna City Guide

My first overland trip to China Kasghar was also partial inspired by Globe Trekker travel programs, but it was then called Lonely Planet TV. I remember those nights when I would rushed home in time just to catch the show. Till today, the music that Globe Trekker start with in all their show still give me a rushed of inspiration and awe of how big and beautiful our world is. The signature circle that was drawn on the beach is truly symbolic. Check out the website below if you are keen to find out more - Cheers.
