The Amazing Race: Alex Boylan's Trek Around the World...for Free

oscardahl · 04-08-2008, 05:56 PM

Alex Boylan is a hero to many people, myself included. If you're a fan of The Amazing Race, you probably know who Boylan is. Maybe not – The Amazing Race has been on TV for a long time. However, if you've ever fancied yourself a world traveler, or have ever longed to be one, Alex Boylan is someone to admire. With friend Chris Luca, Alex won the second season of The Amazing Race in a footrace. After winning The Amazing Race, Alex got into the world of television and producing. He hosted a couple of little known shows, but in July of last year he embarked on one of the most ambitious traveling experiences of the internet age. He called it Around the World for Free.

Okay, I feel sheepish, but I never heard of this. If I had, I would have opened my own door to the guys! Great they did it all on the web, but I wonder if they will make a special out of it too. I think it's great to see how positively Amazing Race can affect people - that's why it's the only "reality TV" I watch. It's reality in the best possible way. Seeing new things, watching potentially spoiled people be humbled. Nothing bothers me more than idiots talking about how places smell bad or look bad, but nothing pleases me more than seeing someone have an unexpected experience or make an emotional connection. So I am glad he did this. I am going to check out that website now! Thanks Oscar.

This is so fantastic- I knew nothing about it but will definitely check out the website. I admire those who can step out of their comfort zone and do something as extraordinary as this. Thanks for sharing!
