Route 66 - FORMAT

image

Forget the ordinary bus trip for old folksand take the trip of your life.

When we are older, we all have a secret desire to have become something else; a second profession we always thought we would be good at but never got the chance to materialise. In Route 66, we give participants over 66years of age the chance to get closer to these dreams –and get a real first hand taste of what “plan B” feels like. Emma always dreamed of running her own restaurant and now she gets a chance to work in one. Albert dreamed of being a painter and now he gets a chance to try wall graffiti. The Route 66 travelers earn money for completing these challenges and the earnings then go into a pot which is reserved for the winner. Whoever has the best attitude and contributes the most to the experience will be awarded the prize. The Route 66 contestants will have the opportunity to take the journey of their lives – an adventure that neither participants nor viewers will ever forget.
