I just finished this one today, so it won't be for my 2022 challenge, but I'd recommend it for others looking for something for this prompt:

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun. It's a m/m romance set against the backdrop of a "The Bachelor"-type reality dating show. The bulk of the book is set in the United States [North America], but they do go on "quests" in Munich, Germany [Europe]; Cape Town, South Africa [Africa]; and Bali, Indonesia [Asia].
