Big Crazy Family Adventure
Bruce Kirkby, Christine Pitkanen and their 2 young sons — Bodi and Taj — take the road less traveled. From container ship to tuk tuk, these explorers have tried it all. "Big Crazy Family Adventure", Travel Channel’s newest show, tracks the epic journey of the Kirkby family. Without taking a single airplane, they travel more than 13,000 miles, from Kimberley, British Columbia, to the Himalaya. Together, they discover untouched landscapes, unique cultures and life’s simple pleasures. Whether it’s encountering challenging climates or navigating obscure villages, this family manages to disconnect from the barrage of daily technology and information overload to enjoy quality time with one another.
