I keep telling people to chase their dreams. I know that dreams can come true! Some of my dreams have come true! And there is no reason I should sit back and not try anymore… Right?
I believe in preaching by example. It is the best way to prove you’re right. And I am about to do it.
My best friend just sent me an email, with a link to Wow Airlines’ website, who are currently hosting a contest. They are offering a summer-long project of blogging and vlogging, through Iceland and different other destinations, covered by Wow Air’s network. The winning person or duo gets to be paid to travel for free for 2 and a half months, starting June 1st, and share their wanderings online!
Guess who’d be in for that?
Ok…. My video subscription has to be sent by Monday…. And I know my boss would be less than excited to see me leave for 10 weeks (Chéri probably wouldn’t be too happy about it either). But hey! What are the odds of me actually winning this contest anyway??
So, you guessed it, I’m trying it out! Even if it means sending an anything but professional video to enter the contest, and probably just making myself look silly…
I’ll try anyway. And by the end of next week, I’ll know if this was meant to be! We all know it probably isn’t, but the only way to be sure I won’t win is by not participating.
So wish me luck! And if by any chance you are good a video editing, have a little bit of time off this weekend, and would like to help me out… Please let me know!
Just in case you want to read more about the contest, click here.
Good Luck!!!!

Not really, unfortunately… but I am thinking about posting a “Send me to Iceland” post, so people could “support” my subscription, and I would link it in my application! Also, if I understood well (I did read the rules a little fast – I was getting ready for work) I think I have to post the video on YouTube, so, in that case, you can also come and give a thumb up to my 2 minutes of fame… Plus, see me live! That will be a first 😛 Poor Internets!!

Yes! We took our two and four year old kids and took off to Australia and traveled around in a campervan for 6 months. Everyone said we were mad but not the older people we knew. They applauded and said there is no point waiting for tomorrow. If this is meant to happen for you it will and if not something else will appear!

Our son, who was four, remembers the trip but our daughter , who was only two does not remember too much. However i remember notable things about her there. Her first full sentence came when she stepped out , barefoot, onto the metal step of our campervan in the hot sun. She pulled her little foot up and said; “This bloody step’s HOT.” The Aussies say ” bloody” a lot and i found this hilarious that she had picked it up.
