An iPod Giveaway!! (and other exciting news)

The iPod Giveaway details! 

Alright guys, I'm giving away a brand new iPod to one lucky Facebook follower!

I've created a new Facebook page, and while it is still a work in progress to be completed with my site redesign, I want you guys to have the first opportunity to "like" it. More details of the contest will be coming soon, but the first 50 fans will be in a raffle to win another exciting prize (in addition to the iPod!)

So click the link below! It takes a few seconds, and you might win an iPod! How cool is that?

Some other exciting news!

Some of you may notice that the "Google Friends Connect" (followers) widget has disappeared from my sidebar and instead replaced by a Facebook badge. The reason for this, is that I've decided to go pro.

With travel blogging that is.

This means a new, self-hosted website, and in addition to my travel blog, there will be a section for guides, an e-book in the near future, and much, much more!

While many great things will come of this, unfortunately it means the end of my GFC. If you currently subscribe to my blog by feed or e-mail (as 250+ of you already do), nothing will be changed as my url (confessedtravelholic.com) will stay the same.

For those who follow through GFC however, it means that you will no longer receive any of my new posts once my site goes live. Therefore, I highly encourage all of you to subscribe to my blog via my feeds, e-mail, or Facebook.

The new site will go live in a week or so! Stay tuned for more details! If you have any questions at all, feel free to e-mail me! :)

End of Summer Contest

It's time for a giveaway!

The winner will receive an Archie Grand notebook ($19 link) and a Baggu bag ($8 link). I love Archie Grand for all his clever notebooks and the Baggu bag is an eco friendly reusable bag, which is great for traveling.

The deadline for this contest is September 15th.

To enter, make sure you either follow or subscribe to my blog to qualify. Then simply post a reply to the question: if you can travel around the world with anybody for a year, who would it be?

Personally, I would love go with James Franco. He seems like he's always up for an adventure, and 95% of the time you see him, he always appears either really stoned or really happy. How can you go wrong with that?

The winner will be chosen at random. 

Good luck everyone!
