Just learned that the season 3 will be aired in UK (channel 5) and US (some travel channel). No idea if it's started there yet, but we kicked it off few weeks back in Finland.

If you're bored to the normal travel shows, you might try Madventures.

Madventures is a Finnish travel show that premiered on the Subtv channel on October 13, 2002. The show concentrates on so called backpacking instead of tourist attractions. It is presented by Riku Rantala (born July 20, 1974), and Tuomas "Tunna" Milonoff (born February 26, 1974), the show's director and cameraman, travel around the world exploring different cultures. The two emphasize that they are on a journey, not on a holiday.
The travel documentary is made on a relatively low budget with no major production crew but rather just the two presenters traveling together with the shooting equipment.
The first two seasons were made in Finnish, but for the third season the show was sold to Travel Channel and Fiver and the language was switched to English.[1] The third season began airing in Finland in early April 2009 with each episode being 10 minutes longer than the international version.
The show is renowned for its "MadCook" section, in which the travelers attempt to eat some of the least favored dishes around the world — for example, monkey brains in the Amazon Rainforest and dog meat in Bali. In 2002 the show received an Anti Animalia award[2] for this section from Animalia, Finland's largest[3] animal rights organization.
