Zac Efron has takenmany formsover the course of our (my and Zac Efrons) shared lifetimes.

His thighs burst forth from skintight denim.
His flannels hug his only slightly degradedBaywatchmuscles.
Sometimes he is heavily bearded; sometimes he is not.

At one point, he puts on a very long shark bathing suit.
He wears sunglasses on his shirts, but rarely on his face.
Ostensibly, the shows central point is for Zac and Darin (again, whomst?)

In Costa Rica, he dresses like a Brooklyn media professional circa 2017.
Iceland
My understanding of Zacs understanding of Iceland is that it is literally made of ice.
And Zac hates ice.

He wears multiple beanies in various colors, seemingly purchased from Moosejaw.
Even so, he looks powerfully good at all times.
France
The theme of Frances episode is water.

(This is Anna Kendrick.
We do not see or hear from her again.)
At several points he literally breaks out a skateboard and rides around the French countryside.

Why is Zac dressing like a California boarder in France?
Ostensibly, because of water.
Zac spends the episode studying eco-villages; at one point he explains the word ex-pat.

I feel 12 percent closer to understanding both this show and his new lewk.
Its not a place conducive to living a long, happy, mentally sound life.
Four seconds later, he comes back in voiceover: No, Im not leaving Hollywood.

I would never do that.
If youre confused, thats okay, so is our dear Zac.
He explains that he feels like Im getting dressed for a runway show every day.

I do want to stand for something in life.
(World famine is just a whole other situation, he observes.)
At one point they eat a potato dish that looks exactly like the coronavirus.

Did Zac Efrons travel show predict the coronavirus?
He wears no hat whatsoever (!
Zac very sweetly helps a local woman scrub the debris from the ruins of her home.

Sometimes, helping other people is the best way to get out of your own head, he says.
I will not fall victim to this malevolent scheme!!
But he also wears a beekeeper outfit twice, and its notnoterotic.

He and Darin ask an actual beekeeper about which types of bees are the happiest urban or country?
and at one point, Zac sighs, Everything is better in Europe.
At this point, it has devolved from scruff daddy to American Who Thinks Everything is Better in Europe.

Maybe hell redeem himself in the final episode.
Its a gift, and I am grateful.
Probably sweating profusely, Zac cruises down the Amazon.

I cant believe this place exists, he says.
