The Voyager with Josh Garcia is a travel-show/ reality TV series that premiered in 2016 on NBC. The show follows the titular host Josh Garcia as he embarks on a quest to explore the world's most dramatic destinations and immerse himself in culture and adventure. In each episode of The Voyager, Josh Garcia voyages to a different country or region of the world, uncovering the hidden gems and unique experiences that make each location special. Along the way, he seeks out local experts and fellow adventurers to guide him on his journey and offer insights into the history, culture, and customs of each destination.

The show's format is a mix of travelogue and reality TV.

But The Voyager also delves deeper, exploring the social, political, and environmental issues that affect the places Josh visits.

One of the show's unique features is its use of "reverse telecasting." Rather than filming all of the scenes as they happen, The Voyager captures events and experiences in real-time, editing them together in post-production to create a sense of time-lapse storytelling. This technique gives the show a dreamlike, almost surreal quality that sets it apart from other travel shows.

Throughout his travels, Josh Garcia engages in a diverse range of activities, from mountain biking and zip-lining to cooking classes and cultural festivals. In addition to the thrill-seeking adventures, he also visits historic landmarks and museums, meets with local artisans and craftspeople, and takes part in traditional ceremonies and celebrations.

The show's production values are high, with stunning cinematography and expertly crafted sound design that bring viewers into each location. The show's score, composed by a team of award-winning musicians, adds an emotional depth to the action that heightens the sense of adventure and wonder.

The Voyager with Josh Garcia has been praised for its positive and uplifting message. The show seeks to inspire viewers to step out of their comfort zones and explore the world, to embrace new experiences and cultures with an open heart and mind. It also highlights the environmental challenges facing many of the places Josh visits, encouraging viewers to take action to protect our planet.

Overall, The Voyager with Josh Garcia is an entertaining and informative travel show that will appeal to adventure seekers and armchair travelers alike. Josh Garcia's infectious energy and enthusiasm, coupled with stunning visuals and engaging storytelling, make this one of the most exciting and engaging travel shows of the past decade.
