This three-part series takes ordinary people with ordinary jobs, and asks them to clock on with the locals in places that are wildly different from those they are used to: a paramedic in Guatemala City, a bus driver in Manila and a midwife in Liberia, West Africa. Armed only with their skills, they live and work a 'normal' life with a mentor and see just what life is like in some of the most risky environments on Earth. "[The] ultimate job swap series." - Guardian "An entertaining slant on the travelogue." - Independent
