Have you been to the Lonely Planet website recently? They
have a competition running to win $10,000 from Visa which is great and all, but
we all know that only one person wins that and it’s unlikely to be you or me
(So cynical Gemma!), enter the competition all the same I say but enter it for
different reasons!
To enter you must create a Lonely Planet book of your own
and submit a travel tip. Creating the book involves choosing your destinations,
your budget and what kind of things you are interested in. The website then
compiles this into a Lonely Planet book format and presents you with a PDF that
can be saved onto your computer. I think that this is such a fun tool, of course
it doesn’t give you as much information as an actual Lonely Planet book does
but it does give you some suggestions and they are free and easier to carry around
than a whole book! Anyone thinking of travelling soon should get on it as well
because for every guide you create there is a $100 voucher that can be used at
STA travel until the 31st December 2012.
So enter for the sheer pleasure of creating a personal guide
book for your upcoming trip and make sure to thank me if that voucher comes in
handy. :P
As an aside note, how gorgeous is the background of the
website? I would love to take a photo like that!
