Eugene Levy, a celebrated actor and self-confessed travel skeptic forces himself into the discomfort of jetting across the globe, visiting dazzling destinations he would normally avoid. With his trademark wit and unease, he peels back the gloss of travel, dipping toes into local customs, natural wonders, and cultural rituals, transforming each journey into a quietly emotional reckoning with what it means to explore, to connect, and to grow.
In episodes 1 through 4, the adventure starts in the Arctic north of Finland, where he tries ice fishing, feeds reindeer, rides in a husky sled and chases the aurora borealis. Then he plunges into the Costa Rican jungle, sleeping high among trees and confronting wild creatures. In Venice he lounges at a historic palazzo, bonds with a gondolier and reflects on his life and family. Finally, a helicopter drops him into the stark desert at Amangiri in Utah, where he absorbs breathtaking landscapes and engages with the Navajo Nation while battling his own nerves.

In the last four episodes, Eugene Levy’s journey turns into a celebration of contrast and courage. In the Maldives, he tries to find his sea legs at a luxurious private island resort that promises anything, anytime, anywhere. In South Africa, he experiences a powerful encounter with an elephant that changes the way he sees connection and empathy. In Portugal, he delights in rich Iberian cuisine, uncovering the soul of local traditions. Finally, in Tokyo, he steps into the ring as a sumo referee, embracing the balance between discipline, culture, and humor in a city bursting with life.
