'Bucket List' Travel Destinations
The 'Amazing Race 13' tours the world
Traveling upwards of 250,000 miles per year -- for business, pleasure and in his role as host of CBS' Emmy Award-winning series "The Amazing Race" -- Phil Keoghan knows a thing or two about up-and-coming and off-the-beaten-track adventure travel destinations. His personal record for miles flown in a year? Somewhere north of 467,000.
During a recent layover in Los Angeles, I interviewed Phil about his travel philosophy and quizzed him about his top travel destination nominations for 2008.
Watch the video for footage from a few of Phil's favorite locations that "The Amazing Race" has visited during its first 12 seasons: Ethiopia, India, Ireland, Argentine Patagonia and, most recently, Croatia.
Check our Daily Travel Blog for coverage of the final two episodes of Season 12 of "The Amazing Race," which will air the next two Sundays, Jan. 13 and Jan. 20, at 8 p.m. PST, on CBS.
