brings it all back. The sounds, the smells, the stress. From the highs of sipping delicious red in Argentina to the lows of La Paz domestics, what a journey it was. One that only few lucky duos get to experience. My husband Rob and I are part of an elite club, bound by the Race, the night buses, wearing the same pants for several days ..

Robbie and Jen with fellow contestants Dom and Lizzie from ‘Race Across the World’ series two, in Mexico City Talking of the edit, there is so much that viewers don’t get to see. The crew are with you 24/7, filming around the clock – the highs, the lows, of which there are plenty. You are always with two crew members and a medic, with a local fixer close behind. The crew really don’t contribute, despite what people think – however nonsensical our decisions might be. I remember crossing into a different time zone and almost missing a vital transport link, and the crew just had to roll with it.
