Indie Travel Take Down – Round 2

The first round of games in the Indie Travel Takedown is over, and just like the NCAA tournament, upsets made the big headlines.  

#1 seed Italy is out as is the #2 seed in Europe, Spain.  Powerhouses Brazil and the US have been eliminated in the Americas region, while India and Australia barely held on in the Asia/Oceania region.  Things went mostly as planned in the Africa/Middle East region, with only a minor upset of #6 seed Tunisia.

Here are the match-ups for the second round – simply click on the “Rate It” button on each flag to give your Indie Travel Rating to your pick for the best country for indie travel in each match-up.
