Unique Culture and Food experience
Moreover,he adds that his unique lodging and food experience was also his topmost reason for his trip to be his favourite.
He was in a hotel that made him feel that he was in a train stationed permanently on top of a bridge over a river.
Whenever he looked out from the hotel, he could see down over the river in the marsh and all the animals, giving him the best memories from The Reluctant Traveler.
The trip with his family
His daughter and Schitt’s Creek co-star Sarah Levy, along with his wife Deborah Divine accompanied the actor on some of his travels. It made him feel very enjoyable on the journey.
He says that his wife joined him in a couple of locations, along with his daughter Sarah.And it was a great feeling to have them on his journey.
He shares how Sarah was with him in the Maldives. It feels great to have your loved ones near you while you are working outside. He used to look over and see her daughter lying and reading a book.
Levy visits eight countries in the new docuseries. But the trailer of the show features that traveling was never one of his favorite activities. He mostly loves being indoors.
Levy doesn’t have a great sense of adventure. That’s why traveling is not the most comfortable thing.
“If I know where I’m going, it’s great. If I don’t really know where I’m going, I get a little frazzled,” he continues in his interview.
In one episode, Levy faces his fear of “creepy crawlies” and heads into the depths of the rainforest in Costa Rica.
Levy explains that he never wanted to experience something like that. But the show made him experience it.
He believes that he is an adventurous person, but he wants to do the best he can. He continues further that The Reluctant Traveler is good for him. It has helped him grow in certain areas.
