Posted by Noemi as Luxurious, Television
Do you like watching how the rich and the famous spend their leisure time? I like doing this every now and then, although I know that it’s practically impossible for me to do what they do. Then again, it’s something to dream about!

Posted by Zahir as Adventure, Air Travel, Americas, Around The World, Backpacking & Budget, Getaways, Television, Transport, Trends
The various rates that people have to deal with include that of needing to allocate the proper amount of budget for them to be able to get to their place of destination. The going rate for such is truly something that is not easy on the pockets thus the need to survey all airlines on the most feasible rate that can be applicable towards getting from one place to another.
In usual cases, travel agencies play an important role in assisting people on their travel concerns. They do all the processing and are responsible for attractive and reasonable packages to ensure that people get the true value for their money.

Travellers: Ian Wright
Posted by Zahir as Adventure, Around The World, People, Television
“The sort of trips I go on are all about living cheap and getting dirty which is how I like it.”
Ian Wright
Cheap, yes. Dirty, yes. And also the most interesting and funniest of most travel shows in television today I think. Host of Globetrekker and other shows including Ian Wright Live and Ian Wright’s VIP Weekends, Ian Wright is a 40-year old Englishman, who, before the travelling bug hit him, was an accomplished artist and theatre performer, who even sold home-made jams and crafts at London’s Spitalfields market.
Engaging, honest and endearingly a little mad, Ian’s passion for travel and love for the cultures of the world truly come off in his show, making them immensely watchable stuff.
“Every single country you go to just blows your mind! You know with this job you always get five months condensed in three weeks! The final program …

Up first is The Thirsty Traveller, which documents a man’s travels around the world through his passion for drink. No, its not Floyd, but someone called Kevin Brouch, who obviously likes his drink.
As described by the show‘s producers:
“The Thirsty Traveller dives headlong into the intimate relationship between local people he visits and their favorite alcoholic libations….it is a weekly journey into the heart of the world’s greatest wine, beer, and spirit producing regions. Each episode explores the land, people, production, companies, customs, traditions, food, and stories connected with the alcoholic beverage that a region is known for.”
Before you dismiss this as a mere excuse for …
