I have literally gone nuts about travelling these past few weeks, from planning a long weekend break this chilly winter to a big long haul vacation next year. Places that have sprung to mind are South America, the Far East, South Africa, Australia .. Pretty much all over the globe where there are hidden Jems to be discovered. What I am about to show you are for those stylish, near-stylish and want-to-be stylish individuals. Something that has helped inspire me, to say the least, are these funky, pocket sized, truly fantabulous travel guides by LUXE. You want to know what makes these LUXE guides absolutely fab? The recommendations in the guides, are from local residents from the actual cities, how great is that! It isn't just a tourists guide, its a local's secret haven!
They really are expressive, each and every one of them. Take a look at the individual designs, each giving a teaser of secrets held within. LUXE guides look small, but they are packed with so much information, you will be super-impressed you won one!
I have been so excited all week to tell you about these great prizes!
HOW TO ENTER: All you need to do to enter the competition is to comment on the blog with a fascinating fact about the country you would like to visit {and hence want a LUXE guide for}. Check out the website for a complete list LUXE travel guides. Your fact can be geeky, funny, intellectual, obscure or damn right random. Our favourites will be selected and two winners will be drawn, each winning a LUXE guide of their choice.
Competition deadline is Monday 14th November, there is limited time and it will fly by. I look forward to hearing your wacky and wonderful facts!
Good luck xoxo
