can someone please explain this show to me. I have not watched... I really like Jeff.. and think I would like to watch him traveling and meeting people around the globe. But I don't understand the premiss. Does Jeff go from town to town and beg for food, clothing and shelter while trying to figure how he is going to bum a ride to the next town?


I just remember a few years back when Amazing Race took the funds away from some racers and they stood on the street corner and begged... I didn't think it made American's look too good.

Jeff is making his connections on line and via message boards. While he has stayed in some fairly humble accomodations, his travel (air, train, bus) tickets have been provided by people who appear to be to be fairly affluent and wishful of helping him along his way.

He does NOT beg on the streets! He posts asking where he should go next, and people make suggestions, offer hospitality, donate transportation. I am really enjoying the show -

Thanks Tntitan... I just watched a couple of "episodes" online. I really like Jeff. One of those guys who can get along with most anyone,

Is there an "episode" a day? what channel is it on? the online seems as if each episode is maybe 10 minutes long... are they a full 1/2 hour?

How do they figure Jeff is going "around the world"? Is he traveling wherever his travels take him for a set period? or does he have a general route which will span the globe? How does he have "fans" in other parts of the world? If I hadn't watched BB I would never be interested in his travels...

There are about 30 episodes up for forty-something days. Most episodes are 6-8 minutes long.

As far as I know, it is only available online.

He left from Chicago and is now in SE Asia. The whole trip is to take 100 days. It seems like he takes the suggestions sent to him for the next place(s) to visit -

I think BB USA and TAR are both broadcast internationally, or perhaps people follow them online?

Thanks for giving Jeff a chance to charm you!

The webisode with Boo is one of my favorites so far. Boo is a hottie!

Bumping this up again - I am surprised that folks around the world are interested and involved and helping and TVCH is pretty much blah!

This time Jeff is able to slow down and really enjoy the different cultures and places he goes - and share them with us!

IKR means what? I don't text!!

I couldn't watch on my usual browser and had forgotten about it. Then early this week, I watched it all over a two-day marathon. What fun! Jeff is perfect for this type of adventure. Though I loved getting to see J&J again on TAR, I thought it was a shame he didn't do that show with a more adventure loving teammate. I hope someone is smart enough to hire him to do some sort of travel show after this is over!

Thanks, Color!

Mak - good to see you around! Will you be wintering in FL again this year?

I will be heading out soon for a three-week trip to VA and MD - see the travel thread for details if interested!

Tnt...yes. We leave here at the end of January, arriving in FL 2/1 - 4/30. I could easily picture you traveling with Jeff. He has such a nice, easy way with people and seems sincerely grateful for everything. I admired his desire to find a way to give charitable service along the way, too.

Are we the only ones watching this? The last webisode when Jeff was staying with the Buddhist Monks was great. He's halfway through this amazing adventure. His journeys have been, thus far,
NY
Boston
D.C.
New Orleans
Austin, Dallas
L.A.
Japan
Korea
Cambodia
Laos
Thailand

I think he is doing fantastic. He is such a humble, nice, personable, genuine guy and you can tell he is appreciating and relishing each moment. I love how he absorbs and fits right into all these different cultures. He is so lucky to have this wonderful opportunity. Watching this is so much more interesting than BB 12!

What else could he be? He's a home boy !!!

I think he's destined to do something in the general entertainment field, but maybe not acting. He's so good with people. He's got the personality and looks.

I think Jeff could host either a traveling show or a reality traveling show. He looks so "happy and content" doing these things.

His enthusiasm is so catchy. I compare his narration to lets say Lane and , well, Jeff seems very genuine.

Late to this party but I do enjoy watching him. Its like watching a kid with a star on his shoulder hitch hike.

Please no acting for Jeff. However I can see him hosting. He is coming into his own as time goes on. I just wish he will use different opening and closing speeches. He has become too repetitive in that regard.

His next stop is India/Bangalore

Jeff is in India now - Bangalore. I think he is at about the half-way point in his 100 days.

Oh Reenie, you're really close! I go to the Target and Panera Bread on Dunlawton a few times a winter. Jag, I think we snowbirds double the population of FL.

Back to Jeff....I am fascinated by his India adventure. I thought he seemed a bit tired in his latest video. He is still soaking up the culture and making great friends. You can tell he really wants to visit all his new friends again. He gets a kick out of being recognized in all these foreign places, too.

My MOST favorite thing about vacationing in an RV was sleeping in the same bed every night! I know Jeff is a lot younger than I, but moving every day or two is hard to do!!

I e-mailed WGN radio station in Chicago about Jeff and his travels. Suggested the overnight hosts hook-up with Jeff somehow.
