26 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday September 7, 2007 Artscene Oakville Beaver www.oakvillebeaver.com Travel Guy does what average guy can By Krissie Rutherford OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF H is face is plastered on billboards and buses all over Norway. Later this month, he'll be on TV screens in more than 1 million households in South Africa alone. Overseas, Oakville's Frank Greco is better known as The Travel Guy. His travel show debuted earlier this month on the Travel Channel in 116 different countries in Europe. The Travel Guy is now broadcast in 14 different languages. "It's been fun," said Greco, smiling. "We get to see amazing places, we get to do amazing things." The show is a concept Greco came up with that sees him ­ the show's main host, along with cohost Lauren Lee Sally ­ go to travel destinations and do various activities unique to each place. LIESA KORTMANN / OAKVILLE BEAVER READY FOR ADVENTURE: Frank Greco, a.k.a. The Travel Guy, and his wife Julia, are enjoying the success of the new show on the Travel Channel and the interesting places it takes them -- from Bora Bora to Rangiroa and from feeding sharks to walking in lava fields. "In French Polynesia, we actually fed a whole bunch of 15-foot sharks. These things just swam right in front of you, it was incredible," said Greco. And, The Travel Guy added, the point of the TV show isn't to just show people what he can do, but what "the average guy can do." "The things we do on the show, everybody can do," Greco said. The first season features 13 episodes as Greco and his fourman team hit hot vacation spots including Italy, Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Canada, Granada, Hawaii, Malta, Belize and Antigua. The Travel Guy isn't your lieon-the-beach type of travel show, because Greco isn't that kind of traveler. Snorkeling, tubing through historic caves, zip-lining through scenery, jumping off waterfalls ­ these are just some of the activities he shows viewers are available See Having page 27 SAVE $ $ Lowest Price Ever!
