FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Alex Boylan, winner of “The Amazing Race” is heading to your part of the world on his trip of a lifetime

December 15 2007, Arusha, Tanzania -- Want to explore the remote wilds of Kruger National Park, South Africa and Arusha, Tanzania without having to leave the comforts of your own home? Around The World Productions introduces a multiplatform interactive reality travel show, Around The World For Free , that allows you to do just that and more.

The show follows the travel adventures of “Amazing Race” winner Alex Boylan as he circumnavigates the globe without a cent in his pocket. Boylan’s adventure relies on the internet fan community at www.aroundtheworldforfree.com and the kindness of strangers as its guide. The internet fan community and the strangers that Boylan meets along the way are able to dictate the outcome of the show. Boylan says, “[i]t is an honor to be welcomed into a complete stranger’s home and treated as a member of their family where I can experience and learn about other people’s culture. It makes me want to seek out new locations, new stories and new experiences to share with the Around The World For Free community.”

In three months alone, the internet fan community at ww.aroundtheworldforfree.com has already seen a wide variety of countries and people. In Peru, viewers travelled alongside Boylan as he arrived at the ruins of Macchu Picchu, where they were able to marvel at the beauty of this natural wonder. While in Chile, they walked alongside Boylan as he trekked and got lost in the Atacama Desert, the driest desert on earth, bordering Bolivia and Peru. In contrast, they got entangled in the ruggedly beautiful Kruger National Park in South Africa where they went on an unforgettable safari with Boylan and met rhinos, hippos, black mambas and enjoyed the passing parade of wildlife. Other features of Around The World For Free’s adventure portfolio have included parasailing, rafting, surfing, 4 wheeling, walking through the jungle, working at a winery, working on a banana farm, and working as a camp counsellor – experiences that are all part of the Around The World For Free adventure.

Around The World Productions delivers a travel show that exceeds the expectations of its viewers.

One of the show’s producers, Burton Roberts says, “[w]e at Around The World Productions are dedicated to delivering adventure travel experiences that exceed the expectations of our multiplatform viewers. We are committed to providing unique travel experiences in an unmatched style and in doing so, have worked hard to ensure that we stay true to our vision of producing the first truly interactive reality series. For this reason, if a fan writes in and offers to help Alex move ahead in his journey and to check out a particular location, then if possible, we will take them up on their offer and document it as a webisode on the site.”

Boylan will shortly be heading to your part of the world as he makes his way north through Africa and then on to India and Asia before returning home.
