Rosenthal told Forbes that he wanted to inspire people to plan trips and try different cultures and cuisines.

He said: “I find no matter where I travel, people enjoy both a wonderful meal and a sense of humour. These are the human traits I love most.

“The way you process every experience has to do with your attitude. If you’re positive and open, the world is a better place.”

When asked what he wanted viewers to take from the series, Rosenthal said: “One word: Go! I want them to go. Get off the couch. Plan a trip. You will feel better just planning it. Then when you go, your life is changed. Travel is the most mind-expanding thing we can do - I think that the world would be better if we all could experience a little bit of other people’s experiences.

“What you get in return is nothing less than a changed perspective. A new way of looking at the world and you bring that home with you.”
