“Deadline and Last Call for 2011 Around the World
Travel Adventure Competition”
SANTA MONICA, CA (5 January 2011)
– Outside magazine calls it, “One of the 50 Most Amazing Trips
in the World,” Peter Greenberg says that, “Unlike
The Amazing Race,
this challenge is more about your ability to connect with cultures…,”
while NationalGeographic.com says the travel competition is,
“like Survivor, The Amazing
Race and the
Eco-Challenge
all rolled into one except with much more
cultural interaction."
The 7th annual
Global Scavenger Hunt
does bring back the romance of travel and is designed to test Indiana
Jones-like participants travel IQ, while traveling to at
least 10 countries performing highly participatory, exciting and
authentic cultural scavenges…but the deadline for entry for the 2011
event is January 17th.
The around-the-world travel adventure competition crowns The World’s
Greatest Travelers™ and also serves as a travel-a-thon of
sorts raising funds for some great international humanitarian causes.
Here’s what a few
former travelers have said: "It is an Amazing Race for regular
people!" said one. “It's like Christmas and
looking forward to opening another present each day and not knowing what
it will be…” said another, “A cross between Abercrombie & Kent and
Lonely Planet,” was said; and finally, “I
found The Blind
Date with the World
aspect just a wonderful way to let go and see the world in a whole new
light…”
