Last year, Alfie Watts made history as the youngest winner of BBC’s Race Across the World, where teams race without air travel, smartphones, or bank cards. After a 50-day journey from Japan to Indonesia with his friend Owen Wood, they won the finale against a mother-daughter duo by just eight minutes, earning a £20,000 prize. Now 21, Alfie shares his travel experiences and offers advice to this year’s contestants as the show’s fifth season begins.
