Trekking through the Himalaya (with a short stop at Mt. Everest?s base camp), sailing the Ganges River, crossing the North Pacific Ocean on a container ship, meditating with monks in a Tibetan monastery ? these are not the typical activities you might expect during a family vacation with two young children. But the Kirkby family is on an extraordinary adventure halfway around the globe ? and inviting everyone to come along. Travel Channel?s mesmerizing and cinematic new series, ?Big Crazy Family Adventure,? premiering Sunday, June 21 with back-to-back episodes at 9:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, follows wilderness guide, writer and award-winning photographer Bruce Kirkby throughout this epic trip ? from his home in Kimberley, British Columbia, to a remote monastery in the Himalaya ? with his wife, Christine Pitkanen, and their two young boys: Bodi, 7 and Taj, 3. There?s just one catch: on their 13,000-mile adventure they won?t be taking ANY airplanes. To fully experience the life-changing and serendipitous moments that exploring the world provides, they?ll get to their final destination through surface travel only ? canoe, container ship, ferry, high-speed train, river boat, tuk tuk, pony, their own eight feet and more. The series is comprised of nine, hour-long episodes. To view the Multimedia News Release, go to http://www.multivu.com/players/English/70380510-travel-channel-big-crazy-family-adventure/ Less
