Cast
Episodes
Season 1
Bolivia: High on the Write Stuff
Travel writers, like all journalists, have different beats. Enjoying the "people" side of a story, Dimon investigates indigenous female wrestling, while Esrock hits the mountains to bike down the world's most dangerous road. Getting online to file and pitch stories may be a challenge, so it helps to be blessed by Andean priests on Lake Titicaca.
Ethiopia North: Agreeing to Disagree
African stories fill up notebooks in minutes, but before Esrock and Dimon can explore the 12th century rock churches in Lalibela, they have to deal with social issues, mechanical faults and each other's ethical differences. Esrock tests his theory of the people chain - following unlikely leads to a remarkable story - while Dimon's shopping savvy is tested to the limits as she bargains for a goat in Africa's biggest outdoor market.
Venezuela: Slugging It Out In The Jungle
In this episode, the journalists head deep into the Orinoco Delta for a lesson in jungle survival. While Esrock takes the plunge to swim with dolphins, abseil a canyon and catch a piranha dinner, Dimon goes where only few have been before in a hunt for the elusive Moriche worm. For each, it's a journey full of surprises.
Jordan: Press Trip Cinderellas
Jordan is a country of contrasts, and so are the personalities of these writers. Dimon lifts the veil to discover the hip bars and malls of modern Amman, while Esrock channels his inner Indiana Jones and gallops into the ancient city of Petra. With posh hotels and five-star feasts in the desert, both relish the luxury of a sponsored press trip.
Colombia: A Story Clear as Mud
The job of a travel writer is to inspire, and to break myths. Far from being a war zone, our writers are stunned by Colombia's warmth and beauty, but a sellable story needs more edge. Julia looks into the art of buying emeralds, Robin visits the infamous bulletproof tailor of Bogota, and both head to Cartagena for a dip inside the crater of a chocolate mud volcano.
Ethiopia South: Going Tribal
Robin and Julia brave an exhausting road trip to one of the world's most culturally diverse regions inhabited by over 50 distinct tribes and cultures. Travelling through the Lower Omo Valley, what they discover both shocks and inspires them, as they grapple with their ethical responsibilities when promoting tourist activities.
Dubai: File Under: Boomtown
Finding and experiencing stories is not always smooth sailing. In the world's biggest boomtown, Robin decides to sandboard and snowboard on the same day, but the heat and glitz blow hot and cold. Meanwhile, Julia's story falls through and her interview cancels, forcing a frantic rush before her looming deadline. In a city with the newest and biggest everything, it's the history that saves the day.
Latvia: My Job is a Prison
Amongst stunning art-nouveau buildings and medieval cobblestone streets, Robin and Julia reveal their daily lives backpacking in a hostel. After looking into life backstage at one of the world's oldest circuses, Robin probes stag parties while Julia decides to put herself through hell in one of the world's most unusual hotels.
