The Daytime Emmy-winning travel series Travelscope – now re-titled Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope – scales new heights of adventure, natural splendor and cultural richness this season.

Along the way, he encounters the heights of natural beauty in the Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast region of British Columbia, celebrates Christmas in Switzerland and circumnavigates the tip of South America. The series’ hallmark remains the rich cultural interchanges between Joseph and the local population.
