| Lonely Planet Presenter Ian Wright Englishman Ian Wright has packed a great deal of travel and adventure into his 33 years. Before presenting Lonely Planet, Ian spent three months in Guyana with Operation Raleigh, a Prince`s Trust initiative, traveling in a self made bamboo raft down unmanned rivers, three months in Egypt, seven months travelling around India and Nepal and six months around Europe, including Poland and Romania. An accomplished artist and theatre performer, Ian has had an exhibition of his paintings at Chats Palace. He also devises plays in schools for 9- 11 year olds, runs drama and art workshops for 3- 11 year olds at the Children`s House in Islington during his weekends, and also works with children with behavioural difficulties in special schools. In the last three and a half years, Suffolk born Ian has travelled to all corners of the globe presenting Lonely Planet. "Comforts don`t interest me," he says. "The sort of trips I go on are all about living cheap and getting dirty- which is how I like it." Ian has on three occasions won prestigious US Cable Ace Awards, for Best Magazine Host for his Morocco, Central Asia, and Ethiopia programmes. |
