A scene from BBC News’ docuseries, ‘The Travel Show: Traveling Blind in Ethiopia.’

Visiting different societies can be one of the most thrilling adventures a person can take. But sometimes, appreciating and celebrating the iconic landmarks in their hometowns is just as exciting for some people. That’s certainly the case for television presenter Tony Giles on his docuseries special, ‘The Travel Show: Traveling Blind in Ethiopia.’

Giles is known for triumphing in the travel world as a blind backpacker. In addition to being a broadcaster and traveler, he’s also an author, and pens travel biographies of the observations he’s made as a blind traveler.

Giles is featured on the next episode of ‘The Travel Show,’ which is set to air tonight, from 8:30-9pm, on the BBC News channel on Filmon TV. In the second part of a ‘Travel Show’ special from Ethiopia, Giles visits Lalibela, the cradle of Orthodox Christianity in Africa.
