5 reasons you need to do the World Race!

Look at this picture. It’s a magical scene from a town called Dumaguete, in the Philippines. It was just posted by Ashley Huizenga to her World Race blog. And it reminds me of why I love the World Race so much. It’s full of moments like Ashley experienced when she captured this shot – seeing things around the world for the first time.

By Shannon Morgan
After leaving the Garden of Gethsemane, we plodded along the sidewalks of the busy streets in anticipation of our next sight: The Wailing Wall. For those of you who don’t know much about this, the Wailing Wall, also called The Western Wall, is all that’s left of the Second Temple. According to Jewish tradition, it was believed that the mountain upon which the Temple was built was the focal point of all creation.

Off The Beaten Path
By Matt Ruple
