Globe Trekker: Adventures in Good Company
Globe Trekker transports viewers to unforgettable destinations through stunning photography, indigenous music and the pure spirit of adventure. In keeping with their aim of “living as the locals do,” charismatic hosts Ian Wright, Justine Shapiro, Zay Harding, Megan McCormick and others venture off the beaten path to soak up local culture, sample native cuisine and revel in breathtaking vistas. During this ninth season, viewers watch our intrepid globe trekkers negotiate the colorful markets of Dakar, take in hair- raising Elvis sightings on the Las Vegas strip and walk the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Other locations include Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, Senegal, Caribbean, Antarctica and Tibet. Airs Fridays at 10 p.m., beginning April 9.
