The Reluctant Traveler (Apple TV +) -- Travel series hosted by Eugene Levy
"The Reluctant Traveler" follows Levy as he visits some of the world's most beautiful and intriguing destinations, experiencing thrilling local adventures with new friends, including immersing in a sound bath in the Maldives, ice floating in Finland, connecting with the Navajo Nation in Utah, captaining a sailboat in Lisbon, taking a bite out of the culinary culture of Tokyo, and journeying into the Costa Rican jungle. Along the way, Levy also stays in remarkable hotels, including the historic Gritti Palace in Venice and a train hotel suspended above Kruger National Park in South Africa.
Self-confessedly not your typical travel show host - he's not usually adventurous or well-versed in exploring the world, Levy agrees the time is finally right for him to broaden his horizons. Levy packs his suitcase with some trepidation but hopes his experiences might lead to a whole new chapter in life, even if it means confronting some of his long-held fears. Join him as he buckles up for the ultimate eye-opening adventure!
"The Reluctant Traveler" is produced for Apple TV+ by Twofour and is executive produced by Levy and David Brindley.

This premieres today. Looks great. Levy will definitely add a different spin to the usual travel series.

Looks good but it just makes me miss An Idiot Abroad even more.

I'll admit two things here:
1. Starring in this kind of show with exactly this type of format is one of my dreams.
2. If I can't do it, I know I'll delight in watching Eugene Levy do it better than I ever could.

1. Still true.
2. Definitely true!
This show really leans into Eugen Levy as a person and dealing with his discomfort and reluctantly trying new things. He keeps learning about a local philosophy of life (all are essentially about living simply) and I enjoy how that becomes a tether for each episode. Obviously, the people he spends time with who offer experiences and philosophies can't speak for entire cities, regions, etc., but it's still a lot of fun and give one pause regarding the busyness of one's life.
