Global Child Travel & Purpose comes to Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A top international travel organization filmed in Bowling Green just a few months ago and is continuing to make a big splash.

The episode aired Christmas Day of 2024 in 65 airports across America and will continue to play into February. News 40 spoke to Global Child show creator Augusto Valverde and Western Kentucky University’s Innovation Campus Director Buddy Steen about the production, both who said it was unbelievable.

Valverde said filming in Bowling Green was one of the most special episodes in the series thanks to the large communal feel the city provided. The show’s host said that traveling is always worth the journey because it breaks down those preconceived ideas of a place.

Steen had many things to say about the 10 day stint of filming from sun up to sun down, sharing that it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

The show is actually owned in part by the city of Bowling Green as well, and can be viewed on Tubi, Peacock, Vizio, Roku, Plex, Pluto TV.

Steen said there will also be a community showing with Valverde and his crew will return to Bowling Green on Feb. 1 for three shows at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
