We totally love the "Confessions of..." series by Budget Travel, in which tourism insiders give us some good dish on what it's really like to be a flight attendant, a Vegas massage therapist or a travel agent. The latest column comes from a travel TV show staffer, and includes a super-juicy tidbit we can't let slide.
This particular tipster was on "the production team of a TV show about backpacking" in 2005, which basically narrows it down to Globe Trekker on the Travel Channel. The confessor goes on to say:
Out of the five hosts I worked with, four were lovely. The other one let the position go to her head. Although the budget was tight, she insisted on taking her child and nanny along on the company dime for a shoot in Europe, demanded a separate apartment and constantly disrupted production schedules.
Given that Globe Trekker is about the only travel program with an ensemble cast, we're guessing the diva is one of the hosts there. (True, there's an outside chance it's a different show.) Your guesses as to the trouble-making host in the comments, please. Bonus points if you can ID the "anonymous" confessor.
