Holidays! Holidays are a time for relaxing, eating whatever you want and to enjoy life. It can be a great time for some – going travelling overseas or interstate, experiencing a different culture, a different place and delicious food. Holidays can be a tough time for others – experiencing FOMO seeing others going travelling on social media.

This is where travel shows are great. Fulfil your holiday FOMO. Here are the best travel shows when you have FOMO over the holidays.

In the 11 seasons, one of the highlights is Bourdain exploring the culture, food and people of Vietnam with Barack Obama.
