The Armchair Adventurer (2021)

Episodes - (24 X 30')

SYNOPSIS

A 24-minute adventure travel culture comedy that explores the people, food and natural beauty of South Africa through a journey that went awry. After booking an extensive once in a lifetime non-refundable holiday to South Africa, Adam (a Canadian) found himself stranded in the depths of Canadian winter. Not to be outdone; he was able, via the internet, to recruit a local South African artist Gazelle aka Xander to embark and film this adventure in his place. The relationship transcends moments of jealousy, joy, friendship, and self-discovery, as they communicate across the Atlantic. Imagine the opposite version of "An Idiot Abroad", portrayed in a playful exchange set in the mesmerising beauty that is South Africa.

About Insight TV Partners

Insight TV are pioneers of high-quality factual entertainment – passionate storytellers opening hearts and minds across the world through the power of original real-life stories.
We run seven unscripted TV channels that inspire a monthly viewership of over 50 million on 200+ platforms across 56 countries in 12 languages.* 
Launched in 2015, we've been forward-thinking from the start. We created Europe’s first exclusively 4K ultra-high definition lifestyle channel, INULTRA, which is now watched all over the world.
We were among the first to launch free ad-supported streaming TV in the US – with Samsung TV Plus – in 2019. We were the first to create an exclusive FAST Originals content library. And in 2024 we started using AI to support our content scheduling.
In 2025, the launch of the World Storytelling Media Group (WSMG) united Insight TV with Academy Award-winning factual studio Off the Fence to form a family of factual content specialists.
Now, as a TV distributor, broadcaster, and – coming soon – a social media publisher, our ambition under WSMG is to become a true one-stop shop for the global non-scripted storytelling community.
We’re always looking for partners to launch innovative new channels with – and champion the next generation of factual storytellers.
Insight TV is based in Amsterdam, and our CEO is Viktoriia Tkachenko.
