The travellers will follow a route similar one to that taken by Phileas Fogg, the main character in Jules Verne’s famous book, Around the World in 80 Days (published in 1873) and will stop in Lisbon, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco and New York.

The winner and partner will be teamed up with Levison Wood – a modern-day explorer and adventurer who has walked the length of the Himalayas from Afghanistan to Bhutan and attempted to walk the full length of the Nile.
