Janson Media Releases 'Richard Bangs' Adventures with Purpose: Switzerland'

Janson Media today announced the release to international television, VOD, and DVD/video markets of Switzerland: Quest for the Sublime, the third episode in the series Richard Bangs' Adventures with Purpose. If there is one word that writers through the centuries have used to describe the great peaks, the glaciers, waterfalls, and grand scenery of Switzerland, it is the word 'sublime.' Many consider Switzerland the birthplace of adventure travel and the wellspring for ecotourism. Mountains fill the human spirit with awe and wonder. They absorb the imagination offering challenge, veneration and exhilaration. In early writings they"re associated with the divine. Mountains have both a physical and spiritual attraction. They are the backbone of the earth rising to rip the sky. No matter how one perceives them, mountains have power. According to Bangs, it"s no longer enough to just tick another destination off the list. It"s no longer enough to just check in, do some shopping and check out. Some travelers are looking for greater adventure and a deeper connection with the world around them. They"re hoping to make a difference. They"re looking for adventures with purpose. Bangs" purpose this time takes him to the middle of Western Europe, and the small country of Switzerland. He begins in Lucerne, travels to St. Moritz, and boards the famous Glacier Express train.
