In Episode 6, Part 1, Ian and Justine pulled back the curtain on what it was really like to have "The Best Job in the World." Now, in Part 2, Ian & Justine are back to tell us what they've been up to since hosting #globetrekker .


Ian, never one to stay still for long, went on to host a string of raucous, irreverent #travel shows that felt tailor-made for his infectious energy. Between adventures he retreated to his studio in Norfolk, #England, where a lifelong devotion to drawing, painting, sewing, and making has remained his quiet constant — a creative anchor through decades of wandering.


Justine embraced motherhood, raising her son while channeling her curiosity about the world into documentary filmmaking. Her films include #promises — an intimate portrait of #palestinian and #jewish children navigating life in Israel and the #westbank — earned an #academyaward nomination and won two #emmyawards and continues to be the most widely used documentary film in classrooms and think tanks on the subject of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.


And then, as life tends to do, the years filled up with everything in between — the extraordinary and the mundane, adventures and misadventures, setbacks, joy and the quieter weight of loss and change. In 2025 Ian and Justine reunited to launch Our Looney Planet.


Yes, there is life after #globetrekker . A lot of it.
