Adventure Travel with Reality Stars

Don't know how much you're into the reality television thing. To be honest, I more or less wish it had had its 30 minutes of fame and died a few years ago, but alas, it is still with us, which means that lots of folks who have done the reality show travel thing are finding ways to capitalize on their "success".

To wit: we have a company called Reality Trips, run by former Survivor stars Burton Roberts (pictured...Survivor: Pearl Islands, Eco-Challenge Fiji) and Jenna Lewis (Survivor: Borneo, All-Stars, Eco-Challenge Fiji). The team leads trips to many of the same, or similar, exotic locations where they discovered their TV fame. Places like Morocco, the Inca Trail in Peru, and Belize, where they will take you diving.

Actually, I think it's cool that these folks are doing this It's far better than leveraging your fame in some other, less-savory way, say doing commercials for toothpaste or something. In fact, given the chance, I'd probably take one of these trips. But then, I'd most likely get voted off the island.
