OUR TRAVEL SHOW

AUTHENTIC ESCAPES

AUTHENTIC ESCAPES

a travel show like no other

The breathtaking photos and videos we see on social media inspire us to get out and see the world, but is what we look at filtered, photoshopped or even fake?

 

Now more than ever, travelers crave authentic experiences.

 

They want to eat, see, feel, and buy it all.

 

With over 25 years of travel industry experience working for the biggest brands in the world and having traveled to over 90 countries, Sandra shows viewers the authentic experiences they can have in destinations around the world.

 

These experiences provide a deeper connection to the destination.

 

Switch out Taco Bell for an authentic Mexican farm-to-table experience. Say goodbye to a banana boat ride and enjoy a camel safari along the beach.

 

The people, culture and experiences featured in each episode close the gap on our perception of a destination, and all it truly has to offer.

Authentic Escapes is a fresh and immersive travel TV series that invites viewers to experience the world through the lens of meaningful connection, culture, and storytelling.

 

Season 1 features six episodes filmed across some of the world's most fascinating destinations.

Season 1 

 

  • Upper Egypt

  • Lower Egypt

  • Austria

  • Hungary

  • Turkey

  • Family Travel

 

 

Each episode showcases unforgettable experiences that go beyond the typical tourist trail.

Season 1 debuts late 2025.

Season 2 is already in production and airs 2026.

Hosting season 1 of Authentic Escapes is without a doubt the highlight of my 26 year career in the travel industry and 15 year career on TV. 

Every day on location I caught myself saying ...

"I can't wait until the viewers get to see this - it's really going to make them excited to come here".

 

And that's my hope, that you're not only avid viewers of the show, but also visitors to the destinations.
