Smart Travels Europe |
 |
Shot in high-definition, the photography in "Smart Travels" pops, even on conventional TV sets...
(John Levesque, The Seattle P.I.)
If there is any reasonable reason to go out and spend a thousand or more bucks on a new TV, this program is it..
(Andrew Wineke, The Everett Herald)
From the famous city of Michelangelo's David to Paris's neon nightlife to cozy village churches, Smart Travels—Europe features Rudy Maxa's picks of the best of Europe. Public television's first HDTV series, the half-hour episodes are a new take on the Old World.
Host Rudy Maxa models hassle-free ways of getting to great places, discovering the continent's vitality and character, and plotting a memorable, independent trip. Maxa, a well-known travel personality, writer and lecturer, is an MSNBC business travel columnist, a Pulitzer Prize nominated reporter and the original host of public radio’s “The Savvy Traveler.”
Rudy is engaging, sophisticated, wry, and practical. He shows viewers how to travel smart and take charge of their own trips. Our itineraries lead into the tourist-savvy destinations first and then beyond, making travel easy for first-timers and anyone who can read a map, browse a guidebook, pack light, and enjoy good wines and food. Smart Travels motivates independent travel and appeals to armchair travelers. These are real trips with precise you-are-there details. Rudy highlights a manageable itinerary of famous spots and off-the-beaten-path surprises.
Each episode delves into the rich historical and cultural nature of destinations, and provides practical insights for traveling. Rudy visits famous sites and lesser-known attractions. He barges, walks, hikes, drives, and seeks out local Europeans to learn where they take out-of-town friends. This is thoughtful travel—an engaging way to gain insight into a quickly changing Europe in a new millennium. Through the lens of Emmy-Award winning photographer, Tom Speer, the audience sees today's Europe from Copenhagen to London to Venice and Italy’s Amalfi Coast. |
