Things To Try Before You Die was a television series that aired on the Nine Network in 2007, hosted by Jules Lund and Livinia Nixon. The show was a travel and adventure program, with each episode highlighting a different destination and the unique experiences that could be had there.

The premise of the show was to inspire viewers to step out of their comfort zones and try new things in life, whether that be through travel, food, or activities. Lund and Nixon led the charge by trying out these experiences themselves, often with hilarious and entertaining results.

The destinations covered in the show ranged from far-flung international locations to more local Australian experiences. Some of the places featured included Thailand, New Zealand, and the Australian outback.

Viewers were treated to a variety of different experiences throughout the show. From bungee jumping in New Zealand to trying out traditional Thai massage techniques in Bangkok, Lund and Nixon were always game to give things a go.

The show also had a strong focus on food and drink, with many segments featuring the hosts trying out local cuisine and drinks. This included everything from spicy street food in Thailand to wine tasting in the Yarra Valley.

One of the unique aspects of Things To Try Before You Die was the way in which it approached travel and adventure. Rather than simply showing viewers beautiful scenery and tourist attractions, the show emphasized the importance of getting out of one's comfort zone and trying new things.

Lund and Nixon were the perfect hosts for this type of program. Both were charismatic and full of energy, and their sense of humour and willingness to try new experiences made for entertaining viewing.

Overall, Things To Try Before You Die was a fun and inspiring travel show that encouraged viewers to live life to the fullest. Whether it was trying out extreme activities or sampling exotic cuisine, the show reminded viewers that there was a whole world out there waiting to be explored.

Things To Try Before You Die is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between July 16, 2007 and on Nine Network
