Rumors are swirling that the next season might take teams through Southeast Asia or the wilds of Canada. Can you picture it? Racing from Bangkok to Bali on local buses, or dodging moose in the Yukon. Honestly, anywhere works because the show’s magic is in the journey, not the finish line.

If you’re jonesing for a fix, rewatch old seasons with a notebook. Map out the routes yourself. Or better yet, plan a tiny, no-phone weekend trip of your own. You’ll realize how addictive it is to be lost in a good way.
Also, follow the show’s social media—they sometimes drop little breadcrumbs, like a shot of a ticket counter in a mysterious city. It’s the ultimate slow-burn tease.
