If I could participate in any reality TV show without a doubt it's "The Amazing Race". Which is exactly why John organised 'The Amazing Race' for my 30th birthday party - what an awesome best friend, I'm so lucky!
While I've been unwell over the last few weeks I've been catching up on the last few seasons of "The Amazing Race". They have just finished airing season 20 in the US. 20! I remember watching the first episode of season 1 while in Sydney when our family was on our way to Bali in 2001. Over that time I'm pretty sure that I've watched every season, or almost every season, I'm probably going to go back and rewatch them to check.
Anyway, it occurs to me that Phil must have one of the most amazing jobs. I figure he goes ahead of he teams to the next venue, films all the task intros etc and waits for them to come flying up to the mat. After 20 seasons you got figure he's been to so many amzing places. So I looked them up and here's where Phils been (in order from most visited, to least visited):
