The Travel Companion


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!
