Similar leg wishlist design in my old post: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15213.msg1189014.html#msg1189014

START: Pasadena, California, USA
Leg 1: Melbourne, Australia (2 flights, arriving 30 minutes apart in the morning)
Leg 2: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia (fishing task, mountain bike riding task, snow task if filmed in like July, SELF-DRIVING)*
Leg 3: Nagoya, Japan (search ninjas in Nagoya Castle, find a clue at either Tsuruma Park or Kosho-ji and pit stop at Port of Nagoya)
Leg 4: Siem Reap, Cambodia (eat tarantulas at Psah Chas Night Market, search a pendant onto a monks in Angkor Wat, Pit Stop at Pre Rup)
Leg 5: Phnom Penh, Cambodia (visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum to observe silence for Khmer Rouge victims, becoming tuk tuk driver task)
Leg 6: Paarl and Stellenbosch, South Africa (winery tasks)
Leg 7: Cape Town, South Africa (bungee jump roadblock; searching gems task)
Leg 8: Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland (visit Santa Claus' house, dog sledding task in summer, take a sauna, SELF-DRIVING)**
Leg 9: Gothenburg, Sweden
Leg 10: Madrid, Spain
Leg 11: Dublin, Ireland (Irish beer, camogie/hurling)
Leg 12: San Francisco, California, USA

*At the immediate start of Leg 2, teams must book a overnight ferry from Melbourne to Devonport, Tasmania. Upon arrival,
 they would choose a marked car to drive to Cradle Mountain for a Detour, then Roadblock and Active Route Marker task in Hobart just like TAR 29 Leg 8.
**Prior to arrive in Rovaniemi, teams must take a flight to Helsinki and catch a overnight train ride to Rovaniemi.

Australia (18) + Japan (26) + Cambodia (15) + South Africa (7) + Finland (10) + Sweden (25) + Spain (24) + Ireland (12) = Total combination would be 137.

Leg 1: NEL/TBC/KOR
Leg 2: F11 elimination
Leg 3: F10 elimination
Leg 4: F9 elimination
Leg 5: F8 elimination
Leg 6: F7 NEL
Leg 7: F7 elimination
Leg 8: F6 elimination
Leg 9: F5 NEL
Leg 10: F5 elimination
Leg 11: F4 elimination
Leg 12: F3

Bourkie would be proud if TAR 30 will get its Tasmania visit ever in the franchise, thus three recent TAR seasons did traverse the eastward route, so let's get the westward route that is a way overdue.

On a wider scale, 1st 3 legs easily remind me of TAR18, both in countries and pre-determined pit stop type. However, Australia is overdue, and Nagoya was never visited, so I wouldn't call this a bad route. :)

I like this route a lot. I'm happy to see that someone put Cambodia on their route. However, I would replace Ireland with the Dominican Republic in the Carribean. That would be the last country visited before flying over to the U.S. My route is something similar to yours. Every race has three countries that are visited for two legs. For me, those countries are Cambodia, Mozambique, and the Dominican Republic. So, that's something to keep in mind.
