Lonely Planet is a program about budget travel.The program travels all over the world with the emcee staying in comfortable affordable hotels.The emcee visits the popular landmarks and the roads less travelled in the garb of an ordinary visitor.He often uses a dictionary to pick up local words.Often, he gets into wrong transport.He has to brave it out like anyone else would.He tastes firsthand the local cuisine or atleast apppears to do so.This could be a raw sheep’s eye in Kyrgizstan.The emcees try to mingle with the locals as best as they can.Destinations covered include Estonia, Bolivia, Turkmenistan, Madura, Papua New Guinea, Iceland, Iran and just about any place you can think of.There are many hosts but Ian Wright is regarded as the best(I checked the website).Ian is short, insignificant and talks nineteen to the dozen.He looks so common, you’d think you are watching yourself.I really adore him.Among the ladies Justine Shapiro is the most visible.She is very attractive.There is an indian emcee called Shilpa Mehta who did an episode on Spain and one on Mexico.
