It is a travel program whereby the cast travel around various countries in the form of package tours alongside participating travellers and invited guests, but without the usual managers, talent agents and various staff behind the scenes tagging along.
For Season 2, slightly different from Season 1, the cast, invited guests and participating travellers travel around various countries experiencing local cultures, based on the schedule tailored from the wish lists of the fixed cast and invited guests, and following local package tours.
For Season 3, instead of following package tours, the cast members (or only groups of special guests) go on backpacking trips on their own, with every aspect of the trip to be planned on their own, from accommodation to food to places of interest.
