THE TRAVEL GUY Proves That Vacations Don’t Have to be Taken Lying Down, June 21 on Discovery World HD

Posted June 1, 2011

From the shores of Nova Scotia to the summits of Switzerland, THE TRAVEL GUY has seen and done it all. Premiering Tuesday, June 21 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Discovery World HD, the 13-part series shows how to have an adventure no matter were in the world you go. From feeding sharks and crocodiles to discovering ancient ruins; and from snowmobiling on glaciers to zip-lining through the rainforest – host Frank Greco explores and experiences the world one destination at a time.

Highlights from the first episodes of THE TRAVEL GUY include:
