If you’ve clicked your way around Europe then you probably have at least one perfect shot. The shot that instantly became your Facebook cover photo and will likely be featured on your Chistmas card, or maybe printed out and hung in a place of honor.
Well get a little more mileage out of that photo by entering Rail Europe’s “Picture Perfect Photo Contest”. Just upload, get your friends to vote, and hope to win fancy prizes. Or maybe a t-shirt.

G Adventures isn’t just a travel company, it’s a group of people who believe in changing lives through travel and the exchanging of ideas and cultures. I think they’re very cool.
And now they’re putting their money behind their travel beliefs with the G Project, a contest that lets all of you submit ideas for simple ways to improve life for people around the world, and maybe win something.
Here’s how they describe the contest:
“The G Project is amazingly simple: Just think up an idea, submit it, then encourage other people to vote for it. You can adjust your idea at any time during the voting period based on the feedback you receive from other participants, too. Four of the highest-scoring ideas will earn their authors a ticket to Costa Rica to attend the first-ever Summit in the Jungle, an ideas conference chaired by G Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip. There, the ideas will be assessed by a panel of experts who will choose one to be turned into a bona fide Planeterra project with $25,000 in start-up funding.”
So you don’t even have to *do* anything to get to Costa Rica. You just have to think of a fantastic idea and get other people to think it’s fantastic, too.
Submissions will be accepted from April 3 to June 3, 2013, so start thinking!
Want to swap lives with a stranger? No, it’s not a new MTV reality show. It’s the Big Blog Exchange, Hostelling International’s project to have 16 people around the world trade lives, travel, and blog about it.
You have until April 15th to enter and get votes, so get your friends and family to spread the word for you. If you’re selected you’ll get to spend ten days walking in someone else’s shoes. (Although you don’t have to stay at their house, and they won’t stay at yours. Hostelling International will take care of your accommodation, so don’t worry that you’re subjecting some stranger to living with your parents.)
Go to bigblogexchange.org to get started on your journey!

G Adventures wants to take you here!
No money for a tour? No money for airfare? Then keep your eyes on the G Adventures blog next week as they run a contest for a free trip to Jordan, including your flight.
They’ve hit 300,000 Likes on Facebook and they’re so excited about it they just had to celebrate with a free giveaway.
The basic rules:
“Check out this blog during Jordan Week (August 13-17). Each day we’ll post a new article about Jordan and ask a trivia question at the end. Simply provide the correct answer and you are entered. Pretty simple huh? Come back each day that week, because you can enter up to five times to increase your odds of winning the adventure of a lifetime to Jordan!”
I’d love a trip that let me feel like Indiana Jones! I’ll even bring my own fedora!
Start reading and entering next week.
Not only does Busabout want you to win a year-long hop-on-hop-off bus pass for Europe, but they want to give one to your friend, too.
And not only are they giving away the pass, they’re also throwing in trips to La Tomatina, Pamplona (Running of the Bulls) and Oktoberfest. It’s pretty much the untimate Travel Around Europe package.
Still not convinced? The contest is called Win to Sin. If that doesn’t say “you’re going to have the adventure of a lifetime” then I don’t know what does.
To enter, visit the Busabout Facebook page.
Good luck!

I love G Adventures’ new “You’ll Never Forget It” travel campaign. They’ve declared “Tourist Season Is Over” and posted videos of travellers on every continent to show what satisfying, substantial travel is all about.
If 90 seconds of your time could ever motivate you to get off your butt, start saving some money to go on the trip of your dreams, and eventually change your life, these little films will do it.
And if you want to skip the saving money part of that process, enter their contest. Share one of your unforgettable travel moments and you could win a chance to make a lot more of them.
