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!
About the author
What a great giveaway idea! Traveling by car is definitely the best way to travel! If I were to be fortunate enough to win, I would travel cross country in the US – starting in New Jersey (where I live) and head to California! If more money magically appeared somehow, I would definitely hit up Australia or New Zealand!
Man, oh man, I LOVE Jucy! I stumbled across their webpage more or less on accident while browsing rental car companies for our trip through NZ in 2012 and immediately liked the design and the whole story behind it. Being a social media manager myself, I highly appreciate companies that take it up a notch and really engage with their customers on a personal level. Jucy does that so well, I even presented their social media channels once in a meeting as a ‘how you should do it’-example. In 2012 we rented a Nissan Sunny (unfortunately not branded in purple and green) and experienced five weeks of perfect road trip bliss. But obviously, five weeks are not enough – by far – to see all there is to see (although we managed to make 6.666km – I’m a sucker for that kind of quirky coincidences 🙂 )
That said, if I am lucky enough to win, I’d seize the opportunity to see more of the North Island, especially Hawke’s Bay, Tongariro and Coromandel; aaand take my boyfriend who has never been there and is really, really jealous everytime he sees the pictures I took (or reads your blog, that is).
Awesome! Great spots, I still need to check out Hawkes Bay!
