Alex Boylan, the second season winner of The Amazing Race, is off on a new world travel adventure. This one is a bit different from his TAR adventures, though. First, he's starting out with no money. He's depending on the kindness of strangers directing him via the internet television show site for the trip. Second, FanRocket, a social video firm is taking on the task to create a community around the show, webcast episodes, handle the blogs, and more.Accompanied by a two-man filming crew and carrying only a huge backpack, the journey kicked off this morning from New York City.
From my understanding of the adventure show, Alex doesn't really plan to beg for money along the way -- he'll work, he'll immerse himself in the local cultures, and he'll barter for food and travel. But he's hoping folks will offer him lodging as he travels. He hopes to make it around the world in six months.
I'll probably keep some tabs on this one and check out the latest episodes on the website. But, in a way, the concept seems a bit iffy for me. If he starts begging on the streets, I'm out!
