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
I would LOVE to take the Jucy campervan to Australia so I can visit one of my good friends 🙂 I haven’t seen her in forever and this would be the perfect way to catch up! 🙂
New Zealand – Central Otago and the Catlins next year! Would be pretty awesome to take one through Alaska too – hard to choose!
Good choices!!
OPTION 1:
I would use a JUCY camper to drive from Las Vegask NV to Humboldt County, CA! From Vegas I would hit up Joshua Tree then L.A, and follow Highway 1 all the way up. I could stop in Santa Barbara, camp at Big Sur, then visit my favorite Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. Finally I would meander my way up to my old stomping grounds in Arcata. It wouldn’t be a road trip without first stopping at Point Reyes National Seashore, Fort Bragg, and (finally) taking a photo of myself driving through a giant Redwood on my way there though!
OPTION 2:
Start off in San Francisco, then slowly make my way over to Lake Tahoe for the first time ever. I would stop in the state capital, Sacramento, which I’ve never visited before either. Hang out in Reno for a bit, just because, and then head up to Humboldt via Lassen Volcanic National Park and a yellow coconut curry dish at my favorite Thai restaurant in Redding. After hugging Redwoods and friends in Humboldt, I would complete the road trip triangle and head back down to my favorite Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. I wouldn’t forget to grab that picture of myself driving through a tree on the way down! On this trip I would take Highway 1 down to the city, stopping at Glass Beach in Fort Bragg and getting Pad Thai at my other favorite Thai restaurant in Mendocino.
I LOVE ROAD TRIPS!!
two kickass options, I love it!
Definetely the South Island, I am in New Zealand right now and to have a campervan for one week would just give me te opportunity to see all the stuff independent from the bus and sleep whereever I want (and it’s possible) I don’t think that 7 days would be enough to see the South Island but it would be a start. I would probably go down the West coast, visiting fox glacier, Fjordland and Catlins. And then maybe finish in Queenstown, heading over to Wanaka to thank you 😉
Btw what if I don’t have twitter?
