5 travel shows for the homebound

BY NATALIE B. COMPTON
The Washington Post
With a vaccine rollout un-
derway, it’s finally feeling
like the days of being stuck
at home could be drawing to
a close. People are dream-
ing of (and booking) summer
travel; airlines are adding ex-
citing new routes instead of
having to cut them. But be-
fore we had hope, we had
travel television shows that
kept us fantasizing about all
the places we couldn’t go.
For some people, travel
shows are a way to adven-
turously explore or cul-
turally immerse ourselves
without leaving the house.
For others, they’re a plan-
ning resource for future
trips. The travel TV that de-
buted during the pandemic
enabled us to do all of that
and more.
Here are five fan favor-
ites, and what they meant
to homebound travelers.
“Stanley Tucci: Search-
ing for Italy.” Stanley
Tucci. Where do we even
begin. Former model, Os-
car-nominated and Emmy
Award-winning actor, viral
cocktailian. America’s favor-
ite supporting actor finally
has his time to shine in his
CNN series, “Stanley Tucci:
Searching for Italy.” In this
role, Tucci gets to bon vivant
his way around Italy, sam-
pling prosciutto di Parma in
Emilia Romagna, eating his

Stanley Tucci travels across Italy to discover the secrets
and delights of the country’s regional cuisines.
Wormley says. “I especially
love the food shots, and
I think it’s great to watch
Stanley interact with Ital-
ians and learn about the
food they eat. You can tell
it brings him so much joy.”
“Men in Kilts.” For a
spotlight on Scottish culture
and landscapes, there’s “Men
in Kilts” on Starz. The show
follows “Outlander” actors
Sam Heughan and Graham
McTavish as they dive into
the food, drinks and tradi-
tions of their native land.
It’s a love letter to Scotland
told through banter-filled
road trips.
For Angel Lunsford in Sa-
lem, Ala., “Men in Kilts” has
felt both helpful and hilar-
ious. Since before the pan-
cnn/cOurTESy
longtime “Top Chef” host
Padma Lakshmi as she trav-
els around the United States
telling the country’s food
stories. The show, which
stops in places like El Paso,
Milwaukee, Las Vegas and
Honolulu, is a celebration of
the immigrant communities
that shape American culture.
Andrea Alexander started
watching the show in May
2020 at a time when travel
seemed far, far away. She
loved learning about food
and the people who make
it, as well as the show’s fo-
cus on their struggle with
marginalization. While stay-
ing at home with her family,
Alexander says, Lakshmi’s
show helped her travel vicar-
iously in a way other televi-
azon rainforest to bring
awareness to environmen-
tal issues, and he dives into
unique experiences — like
ayahuasca tourism — along
the way.
At home in Santa Bar-
bara, Calif., where she
raises her young family and
a brood of chickens in the
backyard, Katherine Guz-
man Sanders and her hus-
band got into Efron’s show
after watching the trailer by
mistake.
“Their traveling was re-
ally hardcore,” she says.
“But sometimes those are
the kinds of shows I like to
watch, where they do what I
don’t necessarily want to do,
but at least I feel like I had
that experience.”
“Bare Feet with Mick-
ela Mallozzi.” PBS debuted
a two-part special of “Bare
Feet with Mickela Mallozzi”
in February highlighting
Carnival in a year without
Carnival. Host Mickela Mal-
lozzi traveled to the French
Caribbean to showcase the
holiday in the Guadeloupe
islands, exploring the music,
dance and Guadeloupean
Black identity.
Jason Watson, a self-pro-
claimed “PBS geek” in New
Hyde Park on Long Island,
was already a fan of the sta-
tion’s food and travel shows,
such as Eating In with Lidia.
When “Bare Feet with Mick-
ela Mallozzi” came on, he
loved the show’s travel,

favorite pasta on the Amalfi
Coast and drinking from the
country’s centuries-old wine
windows.
From her home in Wash-
ington D.C., Savannah Worm-
ley has been watching Tuc-
ci’s show since its premiere
in February. It fit in with the
other travel and food shows
she has been drawn to this
year, like “Chef’s Table” and
“Foodie Love.” So far, Worm-
ley has loved the show’s cin-
ematography, and she didn’t
expect Tucci to be such a
suave travel TV natural.
“I think it’s such a great
escape from everything
that’s going on right now,”
demic, Lunsford and a friend
have been planning a trip to
Scotland for 2022. They’ve
both been watching “Men in
Kilts,” as a way to discover
more points of interest to see
and cultural experiences to
try. They have also found new
restaurants and types of food
they’ll seek out on their trip.
“It shows you a lot of
places you might want to
go that weren’t on your list,”
Lunsford says. “We wouldn’t
have known about them had
we not seen the show.”
“Taste the Nation.”
On Hulu, “Taste the Na-
tion” follows award-win-
ning cookbook author and
sion shows couldn’t.
“I couldn’t go to restau-
rants. I couldn’t, like, see
the world on a plane, so it
helped in that regard,” says
Alexander, who lives in
Rochester, N.Y.
“Down to Earth with
Zac Efron.” People fa-
miliar with Zac Efron may
know him as Troy Bolton
from the “High School Mu-
sical” trilogy. But with his
Netflix show, “Down to
Earth with Zac Efron,” the
actor has reintroduced him-
self as a champion for the
natural world. Efron trav-
els to places such as Costa
Rica, Sardinia and the Am-
music and dance concept,
which reminded him of An-
thony Bourdain’s work.
“I think it’s important for
people to be able to have that
when you can’t go anywhere;
you can become so within
yourself,” he says. “I think it’s
good for people to see that
gradually things will come
back, and people will be able
to travel and explore the world
and see other people and learn
about other people.”
Carnival fans can find the
episodes on local PBS sta-
tions, Create TV, PBS.org
and the PBS app, as well as
the show’s older seasons on
Amazon Prime Video.
