Travelscope (2005)
Season 5
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. Host Joseph Rosendo journeys from the California coast to the islands of Hong Kong and to Chile’s Tierra del Fuego. 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. He joins the parade of medieval guilds during Zurich’s spring festival, shares devotions with a holy man in a rock-hewn church in Lalibela, Ethiopia and explores the mysteries behind the stone figures on Easter Island.
