Battle Trip (2016)

If you love travel and food - you'll love Battle Trip!

This is one of my all time favourite shows. Full episodes are available on the KBS World TV YouTube channels.
The original set up (which was the best) pitted two teams - usually pairs made up of Kpop idols, kdrama actors or comedians who go to two different destinations, sometimes with a budget and the audience then votes for the best trip.
It's truly joyful.
They originally focused on asian countries as well as areas in S.Korea but as the show progressed they ventured out to the UAE, Europe and the USA/Canada.
I love how it was educational for the viewers, showing different cultures in a respectful way. It's my go to show if I want to have a laugh, and to live vicariously through the show during lockdown.
I have two negatives however. For 2019 they changed the format half way through, eliminating the live audience and I feel it lost something as a result. The second was that the show was later cancelled in 2020 :(
I love it though and so happy it's all on YouTube.
