Word Travels: New Reality Show About Travel Writers

 Print This Post    14 Jun 2007 in Travel News by Ian MacKenzie

Seems the time for travel/internet hybrid shows has finally come. First there was 5 Takes, then more recently, GlobeRoamer TV.

Now there’s Word Travels - a 13-part half hour travel series to be broadcast on Canada’s OLN in early 2008. And who are the incredibly lucky participants in this new venture? None other than previously featured travel writers Robin Esrock and Julia Dimon.

Must…suppress…murderous…envy. Just kidding. Congratulations to both writers, and no doubt, you’re probably looking forward to the first episode of this sure-to-be-interesting series.

For more info, head over to Modern Gonzo.

   WOW, I’m exhausted from the PREVIEW. And maybe you can suppress your murderous envy, but I have no such grace.

   Haha, I know. It sounds amazing. I keep thinking though: that entire preview was put together by stuff the two of them HAVE ALREADY DONE - let alone the adventures they’re going to have filming the show. Urge to kill rising…rising…fading…
