Welcome to the official website of
The World's Greatest Travelers™.

GreatEscape2010: The Global Scavenger Hunt is scheduled to take place between April 9th and May 1st, 2010...and we are still accepting online applications as we have a few
Team spots open!

For those interesting in participating for the 2010 event, The Global Scavenger Hunt is limited to just 25 two-person Teams (but singles may apply)...and unlike those drama-inducing, well-cast, and oh so scripted reality TV shows, GreatEscape2010 considers all who apply on their true travel bona fides alone--there are no losers or elimination's on
The Global Scavenger Hunt™.

Here's what is being said about the event in the press:

Frommer's upcoming book, 500 Best Adrenaline Adventures, which features high-octane experiences for both passionate travelers and adventure seekers, has included The Global Scavenger Hunt in the exclusive list; Peter Greenberg has said that, "Unlike The Amazing Race, this challenge is more about your ability to connect with cultures than speed and agility." Outside Magazine billed it as, "One of the most amazing trips in the world!" And recently National Geographic says that the event is, "like Survivor, The Amazing Race and the Eco-Challenge all rolled into one except with much more cultural interaction."

The past being prologue...last spring between April 17th & May 9th, 2009 our Teams traveled from Seattle to Boston--the long way--visiting 10 countries across 4 continents trying their best at completing over 600 challenges while taking
A Blind Date With the World™ with us.

We were pleased to have crowned the 2009 winners of
The World's Greatest Travelers™ trophy to
Zoe Littlepage and Rainey Booth!

Zoe & Rainey will be back in 2010 to defend their title
against all worthy travelers who dare challenge them.

We would also love to thank Sherry & Ken Fardie

for helping us help others by raising the most charitable funds during the course of our 2009 event. We have also invited them back in 2010 to do it again! Psst...Sherry & Ken came in third and really wanted that crown/tiara...Thank you!

Those travel savvy enough to apply and make the cut will be participating in a real world travel adventure race from start to finish. They will be sight-doing not just passively sight-seeing, while accumulating points for completing a series of stimulating once-in-a-lifetime scavenges and participating in extraordinary real life cultural-oriented activities in extraordinary off-the-beaten path global travel destinations. This is not a tour in any way. This is not a prepackaged holiday. This not a sleep on the beach vacation. This not a simple whistle-stop visit to Europe's predictable capital cities staying in cheap hotels. The Global Scavenger Hunt is a true travel adventure competition that crowns The World's Greatest Travelers™.

And indeed everyone is a winner just by taking part, because participants are helping to raise money for some very worthy causes. The unofficial motto of our global travel adventure competition is to: "trust strangers in strange lands," and aside from challenging our travelers like never before, and having them meet people around the world in uncommon ways, the true goal of this event is to help raise our million dollar goal for some wonderful international humanitarian organizations.

 So all you true travel adventure enthusiasts, global jet-setters, Amazing Race-wannabes, and competitive tourists who might be interested in participating in a real life travel adventure designed for real travelers, our next annual global travel adventure event will be held between April 9th and May 1st, 2010...and we urge you all to get the ball rolling ASAP as participation in our event is both limited and on a first come first serve basis...you may APPLY HERE for 2010!

 We also of course welcome your questions, comments and  queries, so please feel free to Contact Us anytime...
