The Vice Guide to Travel is a travel show-style documentary show released in 2006 by Vice Media, as part of the VBS.tv online television division of Vice.[1] The show follows Vice employees as they travel to dangerous, weird, and offbeat locations throughout the globe.[2] [3]

History

On October 3, 2006,[4] [5] VICE released the DVD The Vice Guide to Travel, which was funded by MTV[6] and inspired by the long-running series of "Vice Guides" in the magazine.[7] VICE reporters and camera teams visited locations such as the slums of Rio de Janeiro, DR Congo, and Paraguay. Spike Jonze helped edit the pieces.[6]

Videos such as the Vice Guide to Travel (2006) were made accessible for free on VBS.tv, and the docu-series The Vice Guide to Liberia[8] by Andy Capper won a Webby Award, helping foster a future partnership with CNN.[7] The episodes are currently available at VICE.com, where VBS.tv was later merged.

Hosts and recurring characters have included Shane Smith, Trace Crutchfield, actor David Cross, Derrick Beckles, editor Gavin McInnes, artist David Choe, and Johnny Knoxville of Jackass.
