ISLAND ESCAPES
April 29th, 2010
Ah, memories! That’s what travel photos are for, yes? Pictures of all those terrific places you visited on vacation posted to your blog, or your Picasa or Flickr account. Maybe send a few of the best ones via Twitter or set-up a slide show on Facebook for all to see. Of course there’s the cellphone video too, or maybe you picked up a small HD video camera for that Fiji trip. Our travel experiences continue to inspire laughter, awe and even jealousy in others, finally giving way to “Oh yeah – gotta go there!” It’s so easy these days to distribute, share and comment on our vacations, road trips and holidays.
While photographs and video feature prominently in our bag of tricks here at Wanderism, travel television continues to be a venue we develop with broadcasters around the world. Being a television producer, writer and director by trade, I have many episodes of programs showcasing beautiful islands, foreign locales, great restaurants and unusual cultures. Island Escapes is one of those television series.
Even though the 10-episode half-hour series hosted by Ziya Tong (above) was produced a few years ago, it continues to be broadcast in Canada, across Europe, the Middle East and Australasia. Plus, don’t be surprised if an episode or two pops up on a multi-channel flat screen on your favourite airline.
And just so you know that we like to share too, here’s the Flickr file with some of the photos from that production.
In the near future you can expect to see clips and possibly even entire episodes here on Wanderism. Stay tuned, as they say.
