Planète insolite

This is definitely my favourite travel show ever made! It's funny, educational, entertaining, etc.

Every episode represents a country in their real light, with good and bad sides, telling us about their history, culture, costums, food, and even the most random stuff that you could never find in a travel guide book.

I especially love the episodes with Ian Wright as the host and traveller as he really does an incredible job with his goofiness and witty comments to the most random of topics.

If you are keen to learn something new about a certain country I would definitely recommend you to see this show!!

"Might that be like I don't like Jane's because my 1st girlfriend was a Jane?"

I love the Globe Trekker show, except for one thing. They ONLY lasted 17 years & I want more! Most all episodes were great but can't speak for ALL of them, so I only gave the show a TEN!!! I liked it in part because it had a different flare to it...coming from the U.K. Nice accents, good music, interesting locations & people, great attitude towards everything. But about that woman's ego mentioned, I don't now about that, besides nobody always has a great day. I really liked all the foreign location & their take here of the U.S.

Great that it wasn't a rich person's tourist viewpoint of the places to consume but rather about the locals they met & everything I'd like to know.

Does anyone know if I can see the other episodes somewhere online?

Globe Trekker or "Lonley Planet" here in America (I use to live overseas in the middle east)is extremely entertaining. From Mauritian waterfalls, to the Chinese forbidden city, to Indonesia volcanoes and orangutans, to Mexico's bullfights, to Kenyan landscape, to Londons modern cities, to the Rio Carnival, to Ghana's beaches, to Greenland. I love to travel where ever, whenever, or however. I myself have been to many countries and this wants me want to get back on the plane. It captures cuisine, nature, landscapes, culture, and history my favorite things in the world like ingredients and soup. If this show was soup no matter if I'm sick or healthy I wanting heaping teaspoons of it.

I like the mix of "serious" bits of culture and the more bizarre, comical elements very much. I have to say I'm a real fan of Ian Wright, I always laugh my ass (excuse my French) off when he hosts a show.

I believe the series is called 'Globe Trekker' on Discovery Channel.

The series is actually been known as Globe Trekker here in my country on cable. But either way, it's still the same.

Imagine you have always wanted to go those places in the world but yet have no idea how to start, this is the show for you. Showing about the best each episode is offered, the presenter gets to mingle with the locals, visit some of the sites famous for that place, and also get to try the local food. Sometimes the local food may not to be one's liking but then hey, at least someone live to tell the tale.

Sometimes the news on TV had already made us have certain perceptions of that certain place but then this TV series will prove to you that people everywhere are actually friendly if you are to them as well.

The world is not always what we like to think from the news and this series can really prove that. If you are the sort who likes to travel, it's a perfect TV series for you.
