Sustainable Travel + Human Connection Expert, Michaela Guzy’s Series Greenlit for 21 Episodes on M/LUX; Earns International Tourism Film Festival Nomination

NEW YORK, NY, USA, May 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — With 117 countries and counting, Michaela Guzy, founder + creator of OTPYM Productions has been “SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY” all across the globe. In 2020, Michaela broke up and gave up her home in New York City and boarded a plane with a one-way ticket to document that it was in fact safe to travel again in her viral hit series, “SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY”. With #RevengeTravel in full force and no signs of slowing down, this jetset gypsy has lived intentionally houseless, not homeless ever since. Michaela happily lies her head on many hotel, cruise and luxury safari tent pillows around the world.

As of May 2024, the series has been picked up by Modern Luxury Media’s new M/LUX APP available to 135 million households on Samsung +, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, mobile iOS, and Android, as well as at mluxnetwork.com or modernluxurymedia.com. First, Michaela invites viewers to snuggle in with her to watch five episodes of “SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY in Croatia” now streaming on M/LUX, including: Zadar, Istra, the Dalmatian Coast, Kvarner and Zagreb + Dubrovnik. Stay tuned for 16 more episodes from Singapore, Kenya, Italy, London, Paris, Alaska, Seattle and Traverse City – Michigan, airing on May 17, 2024.

The Istra, Croatia episode has been nominated for an award at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa (ITFFA) in Johannesburg in June 2024 (watch the nominated episode: https://mluxnetwork.lightcast.com/player/50492/647300). This is a first nomination for the series. OTPYM Productions “OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET with Michaela Guzy” series won Director’s Choice at ITFFA in Cape Town in 2023. The New South Wales, Australia episode is also a finalist at ITFFA in Johannesburg this June – watch the episode on M/LUX.

“During the dark days of the pandemic, when I almost lost my business, I lost my love and my home, I realized I had an important role in working alongside the travel industry to get the world back on the road again, safely. I poured my heart and soul into the ever changing storytelling around being a single woman navigating the globe as the world reopened. In a million years, I would have never guessed how viral the show would become or that I would still be houseless four years later! Every crisis breeds innovation and it’s so exciting to see how “SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY” continues to evolve post pandemic,” says Michaela Guzy, Executive Producer + Curator of Local Hosts.

Guzy adds, “The real question is, can you guess where we are “SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY” next?”
