ABOUT Darley Newman
TV host, producer, author, and entrepreneur Darley Newman travels the globe for Emmy-Award winning TV, digital series and brands she’s built through her production company DCN Creative.
She is the host, producer and creator of Travels with Darley on PBS, Amazon Prime and international broadcast networks. A pioneer in new media, the series also appears as video shorts and 360 videos on AOL, MSN and over 2,000 partner sites. She created the globally recognized brand and Emmy-winning Equitrekking series, which broadcasts on PBS and networks in over 85 countries, including Horse & Country TV in Europe and the Tabi Channel, a division of Turner Broadcasting in Japan.
Recognized in Forbes for her “PBS Travel Empire” and most recently on France’s largest news network for her work in driving tourism to France through her series, she consistently innovates as a media entrepreneur, storyteller and adventurer. Cited by BusinessWeek back in 2006 for her niche dive into online travel video with Brightcove, most recently she’s teamed up with top media and brand partners including The Washington Post for Facebook Lives, Scripps Networks Interactive for a digital original series and AOL, MSN and state and country tourism boards to gain traction and views with immersive 360 content.

She’s spent over a decade riding horses around the world and penned the “Equitrekking: Travels Adventures on Horseback” book, published by Chronicle Books, documenting her journey. In her quest to showcase each destination from a local’s perspective, Darley provides viewers with authentic, culturally enticing experiences that they can recreate on their own through her multi-platform series.
Darley’s travel experiences have ranged from the exotic and challenging to invigorating and serene. Getting charged by an elephant in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, whisky tasting in Scotland, biking through Brussels, horseback riding with gauchos in Uruguay and dining with award-winning chefs are just some of the interesting adventures she’s enjoyed to help educate and excite her dedicated fans, who travel in her footsteps and take the trips featured on her series.
