  • Born to Explore Richard Wiese on the Road In
    The Explorer By Heather Salerno Tag it: Weekends with Yankee, hosted by Richard Wiese ’81, premiering in April on PBS Richard Wiese ’81 went on his first adventure in 1971, when he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro at age eleven. That was a typical journey for Wiese growing up: after all, his dad, a Pan Am pilot, was the first person to fly solo across the Pacific. “For me, it wasn’t so strange,” Wiese says. “My father would say, ‘Come on, I’m going this weekend to West Africa, do you want to come with me?’” That globe-trotting childhood sparked a lifelong wanderlust, as well as the decision to forge a career as an explorer, TV host, and author. Over the years, Wiese has tagged jaguars in the Yucatan jungle, cross-country skied to the North Pole, and trekked up a lava-spewing volcano in Tanzania. A best- selling guidebook, Born to Explore, led to an Emmy Award–winning travel program of the same name that recently moved to PBS after five seasons on ABC. “Ultimately, it’s not about the destination,” he says. “It’s about the people you meet along the way.” Now Wiese, who lives in Born To Explore Connecticut, is exploring closer Richard Wiese on the road in Scotland's Shetland Islands for his PBS show to home. His new PBS series, Born To Explore, which has been airing since 2011. Weekends with Yankee, which is slated to premiere in April, gives an explorer’s look at New England, from signature events such as the annual WaterFire installation in downtown Providence to such hidden spots as the Vermont house where Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book.
