delia_dantes Indeed, this so sad...that two ignorants to have the opportunity to go on a trip in such beautiful places and they are so fake and unnatural, they didn't appreciate a bit the experience (only chips and beer, that's their attitude)...I 've watched this footage very agitated and so angry because of those two so low IQ: just WOWs, COOL etc. but so fake... I don't recommend this to you. Read the review above, it express exactly the state of mind that you will have if you'll watch this !!! Too bad, they should have done this footage without the two ignorants and awful married dudes !!! Do it on your own time !!! But I don't recommend this to anyone !!!
notsuzie I looked forward to viewing the DVD that included Peru, South Africa and India. Unfortunately, it became clear that adventure for the featured traveling couple, and the producers of the show was tepid at best. They stay in the poshest hotels, take first class trains and dine in four star restaurants. While a massage at an infinity pool must be nice, one doesn't need to travel across the world for a spa treatment. The people you'll meet in luxury hotels, trains and restaurants are wealthy travelers. With that as a mainstay, why would your experience be any different in India or South America? You will likely miss the opportunity of absorbing the color, sounds, flavor and spirit of the country. Melanie and Albin brought nothing to the show; their conversations and reactions which lack insight, reflection or intelligence was baffling. "Wow! Awesome! This is so beautiful! That was so fun!" If the show was created to inspire or educate, it was woefully unsuccessful.
mikeazzo22 This series had a lot of potential and I sat through 3 episodes of it. The hosts completely ruined it as they are so ignorant of travel and have nothing interesting to say other than a place being "incredible" or "awesome". They keep trying to justify the fact they are now "travellers" as they get an all expenses paid TV series around the world, and clearly had never stepped outside of their state back in America.For backpackers this series is a real turn off since everything they do is dependent on a guide and with 5 star luxuries from the hotels to the activities they do that most travellers would not afford (or care for). There is no sense of adventure or excitement here! They seriously need to go and do some travelling independently and really see the world!
djpcal (dspot70) If I was a foreigner and I heard that Americans were coming to visit my city, I would cringe if I had seen this show beforehand. The wife is not bad at all, however the husband... is an idiot. Representing America in a foreign country you should be the epitome of manners and etiquette. Instead, I see on the show when the idiot asks for more hot sauce in Mexico there was no please and no thank you, just an assumption and very little effort put in to speak the native language. It is great to see many of these places that I may one day visit but now, I have to make up for the ignorance and feigned appreciation of the Americans who ventured there first? Thanks... appreciate it. I would really like it more if 1) The husband at least was replaced... ugh how can she stand him; 2) The couple or maybe even single person.... yeah that would be nice studied up on the local culture and customs and language prior to visiting anywhere. And for anyone that doesn't know, # 2 above is an unspoken requirement for traveling to any foreign land. It is about respect for the people and the culture and the understanding that there is MUCH MUCH more beyond the borders of our country that is has a depth of history and culture much greater than ours. We are babies in the eyes of the world and I find that often, the uneducated traveler behaves as one as well.
