"With season 3 underway, we talk to the host and actor about how his views on travel have changed. "Where in the world do I feel happiest?" Eugene Levy muses, gazing thoughtfully around the room. "Well, at home, I guess. When you're away, you're traveling and trying to have fun, but in a way it feels like hard work. It is very natural to be happiest in a place that you're most comfortable, which is home.""
"And survive he does. In the first season, he goes swimming in a frozen lake in Finland, tries sumo wrestling in Japan and comes face to face with safari animals in South Africa. In season two, he learns the art of beekeeping in Provence, tries kayaking in Sweden, and goes jousting in Italy. Season 3 takes him even further out of his comfort zone-he hits the streets of Jodhpur, joins the Day of the Dead parades in Oaxaca, and encounters mukbang in South Korea."
Eugene Levy feels happiest at home and finds travel can feel like hard work despite its pleasures. At 75, a desire to expand horizons remains alongside the wish that "Just surviving would be great." The Reluctant Traveler brings him to extreme and cultural experiences worldwide. Season 1 includes swimming in a frozen Finnish lake, sumo wrestling in Japan and safaris in South Africa. Season 2 features beekeeping in Provence, kayaking in Sweden and jousting in Italy. Season 3 visits Jodhpur, Day of the Dead parades in Oaxaca and mukbang in South Korea. The experiences have nudged him toward becoming a more seasoned traveler.
