The cameras have rolled for the final time, and the beloved Travel Guides are wrapping up another season. But what happens when the show ends? Let's dive into the post-production lives of our favorite travel buddies and uncover the secrets behind their globetrotting adventures. 'That's a wrap' - the words that signal the end of another exciting journey for Matt and Brett, the dynamic duo behind Travel Guides. After six months of non-stop exploration, the show's filming has officially concluded, leaving fans eager for more. But what's next for these intrepid travelers? 'We started travelling back in August and can't wait to share all our latest adventures with everyone a bit later in the year.'
The filming schedule for Travel Guides is an intense one, with the guides and crew typically spending four to six months on the road. This allows them to capture a diverse range of destinations and experiences. However, the question remains: how long do the guides actually spend traveling? Well, it's not just about the time spent filming. The guides and crew often take breaks and return home for a few weeks after each holiday. For instance, Matt and Brett, who are married, return to their home in Newcastle when filming wraps. Brett, a primary school teacher, resumes his job, and while he admits that filming can be a disruption to the school year, he's grateful for the support of his students, parents, and principal, who recognize the unique opportunity it presents.
'It's all worth it when it's on TV because my boss is a big fan of the show, all the other staff love it.'
The guides' lives after the show are a mix of personal and professional pursuits. Kevin and Janetta, both retired, return to their home in Maldon, Victoria, where they fill their time with gardening, reading, and hosting friends. They're bitten by the travel bug and often embark on spontaneous road trips or holidays of their own.
The Fren siblings, Victoria and Jono, also have their own adventures. After spending time with their parents, they head back to Newcastle to see their partners, Nathan and Danielle. Jono and Danielle recently went on a couple's adventure to New Zealand, while Victoria and Nathan welcomed a new family member, a labradoodle named Cosmo. Jono and Danielle are also preparing for the arrival of the first Fren grandchild.
For Karly and Bri, the end of filming marks an emotional goodbye. Karly returns to Perth to resume her hairdressing career and spend time with her boyfriend Jett, while Bri reunites with her partner Tristian in Sydney and gets back to work as a practice manager for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. And what about Kev, Dorian, and Teng? Well, they just can't get enough of each other. Even when Travel Guides is over for the year, they continue to film as a trio and work behind the scenes of The Block in Melbourne. Their dynamic trio also ventures into brand ambassadorships and content creation, and Dorian takes a break to spend time with his girlfriend Camille.
So, while the show may be over for now, the adventures of the Travel Guides continue. From spontaneous road trips to family celebrations and personal pursuits, these guides have a lot going on behind the camera. Stay tuned for more updates on their post-production lives and the exciting destinations they'll explore next!
