The Travel Detective: Season 6, Episode 5

This week on The Travel Detective (PBS, check your local listings), a special report on one of the most popular islands in the Caribbean. During the past two years, the U.S. State Department has issued a number of advisories and warnings to Americans traveling to the Dominican Republic. But, as I’ve learned with other State Department alerts, while well intentioned, they may be painting with too broad a brush. And to prove the point, I went to the Dominican Republic to investigate. That’s our cover story. Plus, a different take on bicycle travel — many of us like to explore destinations on two wheels. But how would you like to extend your range — and increase your speed…. and still do so at your own pace? Welcome to the brave new world of electric bikes. And then from Poland to Portugal and Florence to Melbourne, I’ll give you a rundown of some of my favorite and surprising food markets around the world.
