Departures (TV series)

A 2008 Canadian Travelogue Show made by Scott Wilson and Adré Dupuis.

Scott Wilson and and Justin Lukach drop everything and travel the world for a year. They go as off the beaten path as possible to find remote villages, architecture, and communities to experience the rarely-seen and non-tourist places. It has three seasons and they've covered 30 countries.

Not to be confused with the Japanese film of the same name.

Tropes present in this series:

 * Adorkable: Justin. Ever so much.
 * Canada, Eh?: Where the guys come from. It becomes obvious when they "about" or "out".
 * Escapist Character: Or rather, series. Justin, Scott and André are not famous hosts with an entourage, but just three guys and a camera.
 * Friend to All Living Things: Justin loves animals.
 * Fun T-Shirt: Several, but most notably, Scott has one that says "Department of Redundancy Department" on it.
 * It Seemed Like a Good Idea At the Time: Playing hide and seek in a giant, abandoned labyrinth of a town in Libya...
 * MacGyvering: Whenever they're out in the desert and encounter a breakdown.
 * Mr. Exposition: It's usually Scott who introduces the history and culture of the new location. Often leaving Justin with nothing to say.
 * My Girl Back Home: There was a bit of drama surrounding Justin's girlfriend in season one.
 * Needs More Love
 * Opt Out: There were two occasions in the first series where Justin, Scott and André considered this. Ultimately averted.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Scott (blue) is calmer, more mature and has obviously brushed up on the historical facts of every place they visit. Justin (red) just approaches everything with a childish glee.
 * Scenery Porn: Boy howdy. Adré is one hell of a cameraman.
 * Shirtless Scene
 * The Smart Guy: Scott
 * Three Amigos: Although André is seldom seen.
 * Walking the Earth
 * The World Is Just Awesome: Quite!
