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
Me and my friends already booked a trip to Austalia from Norway in December, can’t wait! Also we would love to get a juicy camper to go roadtrippin’ in!!! It’s perf! But my next trip I’ll defiantly plan on going to NZ after reading your blog, sweet!
Liz I first went to NZ and particularly the South Island in 1978.
I FELL MADLY IN LOVE TOO! and have never got it out of my system.
My Dad (he’s 80 now) was reading your blog with me and he said it was as he was reading the exact phone calls I made to him and Mom when I was there then.
Even down to the language I’m a bit expressive when over excited!
I was in my early 20’s then and being an Aussie have been back many times, loving Otago the Most and WANAKA especially.
He knows that when he passes I’ll be going to live in my own heart home Wanaka and is happy about that.
It’s been an absolute delight reading your blog, like be a youngen’ all over again. I’d love to win the Jucy van so I can take him to see Otago so he knows where I’ll be when he’s gone. Love your style and btw I’m soooo stoked you loved Curt and Fleur’s dog sled tours, they are acquaintances of mine and my favourite dog is Merlin, not sure if you got to meet him.
Stay loving Wanaka, not a hard job hey!
Thank you for telling me this story, it means a lot to me. Good luck! I hope to see you in Wanaka one day!
I live in New Zealand and run an inbound tourism company called TakeMe2NewZealand. I widely travel across NZ to discover unique and off beat experiences, which is what our specialty is. I am ashamed to say that I have never done a campervan trip in my whole life! Your giveaway would help me fill that gap, and also help me understanding our potential guests’ requirements better with respect to campervan experiences 🙂 If I win, I would take the campervan to Bay of Plenty surely! The region offers so much to the visitors!
Peel Forest to Fox/Franz Joseph Glaciers…with a stop off at a few lakes and rivers and waterfalls, and that place with the tree along the way 🙂

Then up to Jackson’s Retreat, and Craigieburn – Cave Stream.
LOVE IT!
