Introduction to Departures<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think about travel shows, your mind might immediately jump to glossy, over-produced segments with a host standing in front of a landmark, delivering a scripted spiel. That\u2019s not what you get with Departures<\/em>. This Canadian TV series, which aired from 2008 to 2010, breaks the mold in more ways than one. It\u2019s an honest, raw, and deeply personal look at travel, friendship, and the quest for adventure. It follows the journey of Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach, guided by the ever-talented cameraman Andre Dupuis, as they leave their lives behind to explore the world.<\/p>\n
