I found a copy at the local Dollar Tree of the first six episodes of the 2002 season of My Global Adventure, a show I was not familiar with in the slightest. It was the inaugural one, I think. The DVD was buried in a pile of mostly low-budget, poor quality television and movie projects.
The hostess for these 26 half-hour episodes was Canadian Anastasia 'Asia' Nelson formerly of Calgary. (Personally I prefer the name Anastasia.) It originally aired on the Life Network. Prior to being selected from hundreds of audition tapes, Asia wrote copy for the news broadcast at a local station, a job which she hated.
MyGlobalAdventure.com is supposedly the series website, but I don't see much related to the show. However, there are quite a few videos there on travel. Telefilm Canada has a page on it as does Minds Eye Pictures. Asia is really into yoga and has a blog. She is also on Facebook and LinkedIn.
