What scares you most about traveling?: I don't have a great sense of direction, so I’m most worried about getting completely lost in a foreign land.

What excites you most about traveling?: Getting to see the world! I’ve never been outside of the country, so experiencing different cultures will be awesome. I’m also excited to put myself in situations that the average human would never find themselves in.

What qualities do you hope your partner has?:I'm looking for someone who can stay positive in any situation. I want someone who understands that the race will not be a smooth ride, and they must be able to keep calm in the most stressful times.

What qualities will be hard for you to put up with in a partner?: Someone who gives up easily.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)?: Being on this show is my biggest dream, so I just hope to push myself harder than I ever have before and enjoy the ride!

Race History
Notes: Becca & Floyd initially checked in 5th, however, Floyd soon discovered he lost his passport, and were told they couldn't check in without it. They were able to find Floyd's passport, and the second time they checked in, they dropped to 8th. Becca & Floyd U-Turned Liz & Michael, who had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it. Becca & Floyd received a 10 minute penalty for speeding. They served it on the racecourse, thus didn't affect their placement, and was left unaired.
