Craziest Travel Story |Giveaway|

Have a weird/crazy travel story!? We want to hear it! 

As most, if not all of you know, we spammed the crap out of your feed on Saturday as we recently took on the Adventure Hunt. Though we didn’t win the trip to Panama, we had the best time ever completing the activities. Throughout the race we ran into quite a few interesting situations that reminded us of all the funny/weird stories we have encountered on previous adventures/trips. And it got us thinking, does this happen to other people too? Or is this not normal? 

If you find yourself always in random situations or even scary situations while traveling, we want to hear all about it! Whether it be a run in with law enforcement, having your passport stolen, getting played at the local public market (they get us every time), meeting someone famous or even just getting food poisoning – we want to hear it! Don’t be shy, whether you think it’s BEYOND crazy or not crazy enough to share, we want to hear it! Everything is worth sharing because every story is a conversation starter which is truly the main purpose of this contest.

How can you share your epic story with us? Well… we figured typing on an actual keyboard is easiest so please feel free to either fill out our contact page here or simply send us an email. Just be sure to use the Subject Line: Craziest Travel Story. 

To sweeten the pot a little bit, we’re giving away this amazing mini globe by our favorite Etsy shop, SimplyGypsyDesigns, to one of you crazy travelers so share, share, share! 

Contest closed - Congratulations to Ivan from Italy!

• Seat Pak – this bad boy is our seat pouch superman. How annoying is it to dig through your carry on bag/purse to find your headphones and iPod? Or dig through your pockets to grab some lipbalm? OR! The worst, having to fumble through your bag just to find your ID at gate check in? Worry no more, Seat Pak will make all pre-flight, in-flight and post flight items easily accessible throughout your entire traveling experience. Simply place this bad boy on tray table latch in front of your and breathe easy all flight!
