It’s been waaaaaaay too long since I’ve had a giveaway on my blog. Forgive me!
But there is always something to celebrate, and I feel like I don’t get the chance to say thank you to all you guys enough, something I’m trying to work on.
It’s not often that I check my blog stats. I find the less I know, the less I worry about trying to keep up with the rat race, or comparing myself to others. All that time I could have spent worrying, I can instead use on something productive – like planning a giveaway!
Where am I going with this?

So I finally logged into my analytics a few weeks ago, and low and behold, I found that I’ve had over a million visitors since this New Years. Holy crap! What a surprise!
A million?! That’s a big number for a blogger. I mean I think that means I’ve made it, right? A million is quantifiable and it sounds pretty good when I am trying to make myself sound legit to mom and dad (I’ll let you know how it goes when I tell them, and see if they still tell me to get a “real” job).
So I wanted to say thank you to the million of you guys for putting up with me this past year and sticking around through everything. You rock! I’m not one for getting all emotional, but when I think the incredible feedback, messages, and positivity I’ve gotten over the years, especially this past year, it makes me so happy I could cry. In fact, sometimes it does make me cry, but please don’t tell anyone. Thanks.
To say thank you, I’ve organized a big surprise this week for you all. Dun, dun, dun….drumroll please!!!

I’m giving away a 7 day JUCY camper rental!!!
You can use it in New Zealand, Australia, or the USA too! ( Not I’m not biased or anything but PICK NEW ZEALAND!!!)
2 months ago I did my first campervan trip in New Zealand with JUCY and it completely changed how I travel. Now I want to share that experience with you all and give you the same chance.
Campervanning is a kiwi past time, and it’s one of the best ways to see the country. Going from place to place with your house on a back like a turtle allows you to experience a country in a whole new way. I’m hooked! I’m already planning my next trips in a campervan around the world.


JUCY first caught my attention here with their bright purple and green vans, cute logos and taglines, and kickass social media presence. It’s hard to miss them.
They are fun, hip and with it, in every sense. And that’s what we want on vacation right?
I was really impressed on my 2 week roadie around the South Island with JUCY in winter, and can’t wait to get back on the road.
So are you ready?


Here are the details:
This contest is for a 7 day JUCY camper rental with basic insurance to be used in one of the following places:
The T’s and C’s vary country to country, and they’ll be a few black out days over the super busiest time of year, depending on the county. Otherwise it’s all yours!

How to enter?
Be sure to fill out the giveaway form below, following JUCY on Facebook and tweeting and sharing about the contest for more entries as well as subscribing to my newsletter for future freebies. And don’t forget, please leave me a comment on this post telling me where you dream of taking your JUCY camper around New Zealand, Australia or the USA!
The contest will run this week, October 20th 2014 and end on Monday, October 27th at 5:00pm EST (or Tuesday 10am New Zealand time) when I’ll announce a winner!
Good luck and thanks a million!
Update – this giveaway is now closed – congrats to Jess from Tennessee for winning!
I would take it to New Zealand, hands down! Campervan-ing around New Zealand is on my bucket list… and my parents’! I would love, love, love to treat them to a trip that they’ve been talking about long before I fell in love with New Zealand. We’re over in the states, but I think this would be the perfect motivation to finally get over to see New Zealand. Ah! Thanks Liz!
Wowsers! I’m in NZ right now and would use the 7 days to get my LotR geek on and whizz round to famous places like Mount Ngauruhoe (Mount Doom) and Hobbiton. If there’s any time left, I’d head to Martinborough for the wine festival (no driving for that bit!) and onto Napier for some Art Deco. Then I’d drop the car in Auckland and sail over to Weiheke to recover 🙂
Great roadie!!!
I would love to travel with my sister in California! Road trips are my absolute favorites! Thank you so much! I’ve been reading your blog since I lived in Spain! It was super helpful when I was an Auxilar as well!
Hi Liz, my name is Mariza, i am from Indonesia. At the moment i’m doing my one year working holiday adventure in Australia (you can check my tweets on @iamMariza with hashtag #1YEARinOZ). So far the last 6 months in Australia has been amaziiiing!!!!
The next destination after Australia is [of course] NEW ZEALAND, baby! So can’t wait to explore both islands, especially the south island. So many beautiful places to explore, 7 days won’t be enough. But if i won the free JUCY campervan giveaway, i will definitely extremely happy doing a 7 days road trip in a cool campervan, in addition to my 2 weeks adventure in NZ. Having a road trip in a campervan will definitely be a dream come true, since campervan doesn’t even exist in Indonesia. Yeah i know right, JUCY should start open a new branch in S.E Asia!
Anyways, to whomever wins the giveaway, have an awesome adventure!
Cheers,
@iamMariza – who can’t wait to be in New Zealand, next April!
