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, Georgia, Italy, Portugal, Finland, Russia, Nicaragua, Tunisia, Barbados, Egypt, Kenya, Ecuador, Chile, - 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. In Canada you can watch episodes online, or 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.

  • Facing a Bone Crusher on Prince Edward Island

    Lobsters are like prehistoric aliens with giant claws capable of crushing a man’s gonads to dust. They’re also delicious, which is why I set out one morning to pull in 300 lobster traps and stand knee deep in fish guts.

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.
