Managed to catch Wrighty at a lecture he did a while ago very entertaining , he was right about Rapa Nui it was very nice . In fact after meeting him that I named my Harris hawk after him because every time I let him out he flys off and I have fun trying to get him back ,he thinks he’s going Globetrekking so we have got him a girlfriend now . We called her Megan ( it was going to be Justine ) hopefully we can have a few baby hawks soon she seems to like him but I think he is afraid of her she is a big girl mind

Dear Mr. Wright, I absolutely love your approach to your work and to travel. I personally in the last few years had a very turbulent time but I always maintained a desire to travel which I feel had brought me through. I was introduced to Globe Trekker (as it’s known in Australia) by my father and I love to travel to Cambodia and Laos among other destinations. I find watching your shows very entertaining, informative and most of all you have that infectious (dare I say) laughter and fun seeking personality that makes even the toughest of days seem not so bad. Thank you for the memories and I can’t wait for more travel stories as I love fulfill my travel dreams, pity there’s a thing called work in the way >:(

Hey Ian, We love your shows!!!! You’re the funniest thing since Benny Hill! Just watched your zip through Tuscany and laughed the WHOLE WAY TROUGH- You crack us up, saying things that everyone thinks to say but usually bites their tongue, the Tuscany trip was the best yet, especially loved the bit on Deliverence- not far from where we live! Anyway keep up the antics, hope to see more from you in the future, you need to paint more nudes!!!! Bob & Pam

Loved all your shows; why can’t we get any of the new ones in the US? I know your Wright Out of Bounds was cut short by the Travel Channel because you were visiting countries that our State Department considers rogue states/state funded terroristic states; but I would have liked to have seen them. Did your programs have any political slant to them? I’d love to see your production company make them available on DVD. Thanks!

I enjoy your humor and adventuresome spirit very much. Watching you on Globe Trekker is a favorite of mine. Thanks for giving me experiences I can’t have firsthand right now. You’ve given me dreams for the future.

Hello my dear Ian. We are a Mexican couple (Rosa Maria (Rosy) and Alfredo = Rosyalfredo) living at Puebla, Puebla, 125 km from Capital Mexico City. We are your fans since 1999 and enjoy so much your TV show, congratulations!!!
Our Cable TV company broadcasted “lonely Planet”, but 3 years ago, broadcast as “Trotamundos” (globetrotter) with many presenter as Megan Mc Cormick, Justine Shapiro, Matt Young but they are not as fun as you are, and besides the Spanish translator is another one speaking different spanish acent. We loved earlier shows. So please tell us what way we can get these TV programs where you are the only one presenter, certyainly in Spanish.
Before sayin goodbye there are 3 important thing we’d like yow know:
1.-We like you very much, and to hold your hand would be a wonderful experience timelife. Its’ a great wish in our mind.
2.-Rosa Maria (they call her Rosy) always is in good mood similar at yours. She always is smiling and laughing
2.- Excuse our grmmatical mistakes. We dont speak English very well. jajjajajaja!!!!

Ian, I’m flying to London for 4 days in 2 weeks. Then I will fly to Oslo and the plan is to go there and find a job (since is legal for foreign people in the summer). I have double nationality, I am Mexican and U.S. Citizen. This is the situation. I have only about300 dlls to survive and I don’t have a flat in Oslo, but at the beginning I can stay at a couchsurfer place. I am diabetic and I will take insuline with me but I have to eat often. I have travel like this before, but before I became insuline. Everything is against me hahahahhaha I know!. The question is: What would you do?
