About Season One of the Career Break Travel Show
The Career Break Travel Show takes viewers around the world to tell the stories of career break travel experiences. Each episode will take you to a different locale where travelers go to learn something new, give back through volunteering or take a path less traveled to really experience “the road”. Viewers will see the sites, hear in-depth traveler interviews, and get Jeff’s Top Secrets for creating their own adventure to make their trip count. During Season One, the show travels to Spain, South Africa, Patagonia, and New Zealand in nine episodes.
¨I met people from all over the world doing some amazing things and embracing life. I met volunteers of all ages giving back, caring for kids and families affected by HIV and AIDS while others were building Patagonia’s next national park in Chile.” says Jeff, “I heard amazing stories on the Camino de Santiago in Spain and taking the ferry off the remote southern coast of Chile. Their experiences were inspiring to me, and I knew they would be to others as well¨
