Ted Danson on Meaningful Trip to Southeast Asia

It was such an honor to host Ted Danson and his friends in Southeast Asia. The truth is our guides and drivers all raved about how fun it was to travel with Ted, Mary, Jim and Penney! Kind, warm and clearly very funny, Ted was a wonderful traveler who embraced the countries and communities he visited and made the most of the experiences. We all loved having him travel with us! – Andrea Ross, Journeys Within Founder and Wild Frontiers Southeast Asia Travel Specialist

True Story: I was outside of a restaurant, with my cousin, waiting for some friends... and out of nowhere, Mr. Ted Danson just walked up to us and asked: "How is the food here...and what is going on tonight... any live music?" We acted like he was just a regular guy asking for our opinion on the place. He was a complete Gentleman, very friendly... and never acted superior, arrogant, or anything like that. We showed the same class, and did not bother him for autographs ... or a tacky selfie. It goes to show you... the really big stars... are humble.

Love Ted Danson, funny as hell in The Good Place

What a nice guy Ted Danson is, endorsing the small travel company he travelled with, Journeys Within which is actually part of a UK company called wild Frontiers Travel. Really nice of him to give them a plug.

What's a wonderful person I have met. As a Cambodian and Journeys Within team member (part of a UK company called Wild Frontiers Travel), I was so proud to show my beautiful country to Ted, Mary, Jim and Penney. While you are in Cambodia, nothing better than visit Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm and get water blessing by the monk then dinner at a training restaurant. Thank you for visited Cambodia : ) - Narla Phay

I visited Vietnam for 2 weeks a few years ago and I feel the same way. Lovely country, friendly people and amazing food!

Jimmy genuinely laughing is life. Ted danson is hilarious

[jsimmons]

SE Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, etc) is VERY interesting. Different cultures, languages, and contexts of life. Changed my life perspective, though no tour for me. Couch surfing and hostels....real life. LEarning, people are people...cliche but so true

[HumaKhan-rsek]

Love Ted Danson. Nice beautiful personality.

[Daswars]

Ted Danson is so respectful and educated. So unlike the rest of US Americans.

[crazymessywife]

I wish you he would have talked about Cambodia. People don't normally know about that difficult story.

"It's been 40 years, but when I hear of Vietnam, I think of the war"

One of them is a boomer in his 70s, another is a Gen X that can relate to millenial and the modernities... guess which one said that stupid thing above?

[tantran]

his pronunciation of Vietnamese names is not bad actually.

[jspinks]

well you'd have get accustomed to eating their crab and raw fish food.

[Madagon]

He experienced what basically each and every Vietnam tourist experiences if you pay for a tour guide. Obviously blew his mind. What a strange bubble these rich and famous people in Hollywood live in.
