Visitors GuideThe Travel Channel program, “Stranded with Cash Peters” will be filming throughout the St. John’s area June 29 to June 30. The premise of the program consists of Cash Peters, the show host, being dropped off at a destination he knows nothing about and must rely on the hospitality of strangers to explore the area.
The film crew will be visiting Signal Hill and Cape Spear as well as filming throughout the downtown area. http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/stranded/stranded.html
Keep an eye out for Peter Cash and show him what Newfoundland Hospitality is all about!
From the Travel Chanel Website: Cash Peters, author (Gullible's Travels) and travel correspondent for National Public Radio's Marketplace, is in trouble — he's stranded. Dropped off with no money, no place to stay, no food and virtually no idea where he is, Cash is out to explore the world. On a globe-trotting journey from country to country and town to town, Cash will throw himself on the mercy of the locals as he explores the places they call home.
Cash Peters tells it like it is, with a no-holds-barred humor that is paradoxically merciless and endearing. The perpetual outsider, Cash will see if he can truly count on the better part of humanity to let him into their lives and hearts — and hopefully provide a bed and meal along the way.
Stranded will explore locales both iconic as well as unknown and destinations both domestic and around the globe. Cash will do his best to become one with the cultures and subcultures he encounters; however, things don't always work out as planned, and Cash isn't afraid to say so.
Funny, exciting, refreshing, fascinating and often jaw-droppingly honest, Stranded takes on the world — one town at a time.
