I still remember the days when i used to watch the episodes of lonely planet.Whether it is cold artic or hot sahara desert ....... It was a treat to watch this man on action..........Who can forget his jokes and interactions with the locals.
Ian Douglas Wright (born May 17, 1965, Suffolk, England) is a host of Pilot Productions' travel/adventure television series Globe Trekker (also called Pilot Guides in Canada and the United States and originally broadcast as Lonely Planet). He also hosted the short-lived program Ian Wright Live, a show filmed before a live audience and featured discussions on various travel topics.
A seasoned international traveller, Wright is perhaps the most recognizable host of Globe Trekker. He is known for his witty banter and amusing interactions with locals. For the past 7 years, he has hosted over 50 episodes of the program, including more extreme locations like Arctic Canada, Russia, Armenia, Nepal, and Outback Australia. To date, Wright has won three U.S. Cable Ace Awards for Best Magazine Host.
Wright now also stars in the cable channel Discovery Travel & Living show VIP Weekends with Ian Wright.[citation needed]
In 2008, Wright appears in America the Wright Way which airs on the Travel Channel. In this series, Wright travels to American cities and does his usual bit of visiting interesting locations and interacting with locals

Wright is also an accomplished painter, who had an exhibition of his work displayed at Chats Palace. He has also played an active role in several after-school programs for children. He currently lives in London with his wife and family. To relax, Ian enjoys playing football, eating out, and going for walks in the English countryside. Ian is also a vegetarian, though he will occasionally break this for his travel documentaries.
At the end i would like to quote him "A hilarious behind the scenes insight into the comical world that is adventure travel.".
