The Amazing Race

As the challenges of the pandemic continue, seemingly unabated, I have found solace in the unlikeliest of places. Watching old reruns of The Amazing Race. 

It's not so much the frazzled pairs; leaving their comfort zones, sorting out their relationships, or facing their fear of heights. It's the beautiful surroundings that form the backdrop.

The windmills of Holland, the congestion of Mumbai, the rugged peaks of Peru. It is all there and so much more. 

Travel is a feast for the eyes. But more than anything, the immersive experience that travel offers changes us in a way nothing else can....

"You cannot understand the otherness of places you have not encountered. Travel is a set of corrective lenses that helps focus the planet's blurred reality." – Conde Nast Traveler
