Globe Trekker featured a variety of hosts who would set out with a camera crew to a particular country or city to take viewers along for the ride to experience the various activities and cultures.

Additionally, for the foodie in you, tune into Planet Food and indulge in the sights, smells, and colorful culinary creations from every corner of the world.
