Word Travels

Word Travels allows you to see a warts-and-all glimpse into the lives of two, real-life travel writers - myself and the effervescent Travel Junkie Julia Dimon (she bubbles if you drop her in water). On an outrageous assignment that takes us to dozens of countries across six continents, you’ll see us looking for the best stories and adventures to write about for publications around the world.

Where are we going? Countries like (in no particular order): Bolivia, Colombia, South Korea, Dubai, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, France, Hong Kong, Mexico, the Philippines, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macau, New Zealand, the Maldives, Thailand, Venezuela, Jamaica, the Yukon - do you hate me yet?

Word Travels can be seen weekly in Canada on OLN and CityTV, and in dozens of countries worldwide on National Geographic Adventure. Unfortunately, episodes are not available online, but you can see clips and find out more at our spiffy Word Travels website.

You’ll quickly see that having a dream job involves the occasional nightmare, as we battle jetlag, schedules, taxi drivers and the fear that maybe, this time, I really will kill myself in an act of hilariously misplaced machismo. Go Go Gonzo. Anyone who knows me knows about my music fetish, and the half-hour show is chock-full of tunes, fast paced and like Modern Gonzo, something to entertain and inspire.

Word Travels is produced by Omni Lifestyle, a division of Omni Film - a company built on a foundation of awesomeness.

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.

  • Sweet As the South Island

    Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
