Pros: Educational for the entire family

Do you ever wish you could afford to travel anywhere and everywhere in the world that you wanted? I think many people have dreams, wishes or fantasies of seeing what the rest of the world is like.

As a former Army brat, I had the wonderful...

Pros: Awesome travel documentary series, takes you around the world to the places you are unlikely to visit on your own, entertaining, educational, interesting, exciting (and about a dozen other adjectives).
Cons: Wishing I was there.

I thoroughly enjoy the TV show Great Vacation Homes, hosted by Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel. I found it by accident about a year ago while I was channel surfing one lazy Sunday morning. I was caught by the most magnificent home with incredible...

Pros: Travel tips, and exotic destinations
Cons: Same commercials over and over again

I'm convinced that every channel operated by the folks at The Discovery Channel (including Travel Channel) is FANTASTIC! Travel Channel offers great shows set in far off places you may want to visit. Just today I watched an episode of Trail Blazers in...

Pros: Lots of great travel ideas

Ever wonder what there is do in Australia, Africa or maybe even the Middle East. Want to go to a Dude Ranch someday but want to see what they have to offer before you go. This is what the travel channel is all about.

I have been a Travel Channel subscriber for about six months now and I feel like I personally know the hosts of Lonely Planet. Ian, the funny British character, is the adventure seeker. He takes me to faraway places where the accommodations are...

Pros: Refreshing opposite from the rest of ordinary evening TV
Cons: Somewhat too snappy - but always attractively filmed

Now, the Travel Channel is one of the channels where you get stuck every second time sapping over it. Either you get caught by one of the funny aussie vocabs or some great views of some landscape you always thought "that must...

It’s 4:00 in the afternoon on a rainy Tuesday. You called in sick from work … you feel as if a bus has hit you. As you flip through stations on the TV, something catches your eye. Unlike the useless garbage being chewed up and spit out at you on other...

Pros: Travel from home.
Cons: None.

If you have seen the Travel Channel's Lonely Planet then you all know Ian. That zany silly little leprechaun looking hunk of a man.

There is nothing like going Traveling with Ian at eleven o’clock in the evening. It's much better than...

Pros: The hosts have the best job in the world!
Cons: We're not the hosts.

Am I getting old?

Nah...this isn't PBS. Well, its kinda PBS meets MTV. I'll admit it. Insomnia has been a lot more tolerable ever since my cable service added Discover Channel, the Learning Channel, and Animal Planet. But the newest...

Pros: Excellent Programing and hosts
Cons: Some silly "extreme" style shows

Where else but on the Travel Channel can you, in just a few hours, discover the native delicacies of Japan, see the world's most exclusive hotel, and then see every attraction in Edmunton? For someone who loves travel but not the funds to do so, this is...

Pros: Travel anywhere from your couch

The Travel Channel is awesome. My mother and I could sit and watch it for hours a stretch, in fact we do. The Travel Channel has some high quality shows with very entertaining, interesting hosts.

Shows like Lonely Planet really catch my eye....
