In honor of my newest “Where To Travel,” blog section, last Sunday I asked the following question to enter to win some great swag from #Eventbrite LA and #ThreePeasProductionLLC:
If you could travel to one place in 2013, where would it be?
Feel free to share why you want to go there and photos of the location,
although optional, are always welcomed.

Now, before I announce the lucky winner (selected at random) I just have to say, I was completely floored by all the fantastic responses! Forget typical beach and European vacays; people had plans to travel to so many places off the beaten track. And the reasons behind why they wanted to go there were so diverse, inspirational, fun and at times, even touching.
And before I announce the winner, let me just recap what the winner will win:
- Two tickets to the Grilled Cheese and Beer Night!!! on Friday, Feb. 1st at Andrew's Cheese Shop in Santa Monica
- An Eventbrite Grey Sweatshirt (pictured to the left)
- An Eventbrite Duffle Bag … to pack all your belongings in when you go on your trip!

- Two tickets to the new play "The Build UP, " a unique, intimate, interactive experience on Thursday, Jan. 24th at a private venue in Hollywood

Congrats!
Thanks to everyone who participated, and look out for another giveaway/contest soon!
Backpacking across Europe would be really amazing. Having that no sense of direction, just relying on wits, maps and pennies would be a great adventure. It would really make my dream come true.
