GLOBE TREKKER episode descriptions:

Los Angeles
Megan spends a week in southern California, USA, exploring one of the world's most exciting and glamorous cities: Los Angeles. Like thousands of wannabe stars who flock to Hollywood in the hope of finding fame and fortune, Megan starts her trip by signing on at the Central Casting agency with other hopefuls trying to land a part in a movie.

Germany 2
Germany only became a country in 1871, yet no nation has had a greater impact on the face of Europe. Megan and Justine set out on a journey to look beyond the stereotypes and seek out the real Germany.

World War 2 Special
In this Globe Trekker special, Megan, Ian, Adela, Justine and Estelle take viewers on a journey of discovery as they make their way to some of World War II's key locations in Europe.

Planet of the Apes Special
This Planet of the Apes Special looks at efforts undertaken by some to protect man's closest relatives. Travel to Gabon in West Africa in search of one of the world's most rarely-seen primates, the mandrill; visit the gorilla sanctuary in Cameroon; and see how orphaned young orangutans are re-introduced to the wild in Java and Borneo.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade Special
The Transatlantic Slave Trade Special sees Zoe, Ian, Justine and Megan journey through Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and North and South America, to discover the terrible truth about this shameful episode of history, which saw 12 million slaves shipped out of Africa and two million of them killed. 

Volcanoes: Ring of Fire
Globe trekkers Megan, Ian, Justine, Alex and Sami explore the world's most spectacular volcanoes, travelling from the heart of Europe, across the Atlantic and Caribbean to the deadly Pacific Ring of Fire.

Cape Verde & Senegal
Zoe starts her journey in the capital Dakar, the vibrant home of more than two million people. After checking out the city's colourful markets and pulsating nightclubs, she visits historic Goree island to learn of its infamous past.

Honduras & El Salvador
Brianna travels to Honduras and El Salvador, two of Central America's least known but most rewarding destinations for the adventurous traveller.

The Balkans
Zay visits the countries of former Yugoslavia - Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro, and discovers four countries uniquely rich in tradition and history, with a common desire to live life to the fullest.

The Caribbean Islands
Zoe globetreks to the Caribbean islands, a dream vacation spot surrounded by stunning rainforest-covered volcanoes, infused with a hybrid of English, African and French heritage.

Colorado & Utah
Holly sets off on a backpack adventure that sends her across the Rocky mountains and into the Salt Valley basin, where the Mormon faithful found their promised land back in 1847.

Tel Aviv & Jerusalem
Justine's journey through the Holy Land begins in Tel Aviv where she joins the Israeli population in celebrating the start of Shabbat. Traditionally, Friday night is spent with the family but Justine finds a thriving clubbing scene in Israel's capital.
