The Vice Guide to Travel is a travel show-style documentary show released in 2006 by Vice Media, as part of the VBS.tv online television division of Vice.[1] The show follows Vice employees as they travel to dangerous, weird, and offbeat locations throughout the globe.[2][3]
History[]
In 2006, VICE released the DVD The Vice Guide to Travel, which was funded by MTV[4] and inspired by the long-running series of "Vice Guides" in the magazine.[5] VICE reporters and camera teams visited locations such as the slums of Rio, Congo, and Paraguay. Spike Jonze helped edit the pieces.[4]
Videos such as the Vice Guide to Travel (2006) were made accessible for free on VBS.tv, and the docu-series The Vice Guide to Liberia[6] by Andy Capper won a Webby Award, helping foster a future partnership with CNN.[5] The episodes are currently available at VICE.com, where VBS.tv was later merged.
Hosts and recurring characters have included Shane Smith, , actor David Cross, Derrick Beckles, editor Gavin McInnes, artist David Choe, and Johnny Knoxville of Jackass.
