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.
