Are you mildly jealous of the contestants on Amazing Race? Come on. Admit it. Yeah? I am too.

Although after thinking about it, the entire situation does leave much to be desired: Racing through beautiful, foreign destinations when you should be savoring the location; cameras focused on you 24/7. If those are the two things holding you back from submitting your application (or maybe you did submit one but to no avail), a new travel competition, Competitours may have the adventure of a lifetime that you’ve been waiting for.

Competitours is Amazing Race, minus the cameras, the rush and the free trip. You and a teammate will compete against 16 other teams on a two-week, five country European vacation. It offers “a more immersive and genuine interaction.” Instead of speeding through destinations, careful consideration into the game schedule, point system and routing ensures that the teams will be able to get close to the European culture, people and places. The best part? No one gets eliminated!

Challenges focus on teams’ mental abilities, like creativity, resourcefulness and inventiveness. The grand prize, while it may not be $1 million, is up to 40 nights at any of the 115 Starwood hotels around the world, up to four economy seats and spending cash that could be as much as $6,500. A standard trip costs $2,950, including international airfare, double-occupancy lodging, Eurail pass and game registration.

Don’t have 14 days or $3,000? Competitours offers express and budget options, so you too can have the adventure of a lifetime. Dates for the standard trip are July 9-July 23, but express and budget dates vary, so check the very fun and interactive website for Competitiours at www.competitours.com.

So, who’s comin’ with me?
