Far From Home

Scott Gurian

Booking Overview

An immersive travel and culture documentary show focused on firsthand stories from far-flung places, with occasional interviews featuring people central to distinctive journeys, social initiatives, and peace-oriented work. PR agencies could credibly pitch international journalists, founders of cross-cultural organizations, human-rights or peace advocates, and experts with compelling firsthand travel experiences; booking difficulty is likely low because the show favors accessible people with unusual stories over highly prominent celebrities.
