Liberty Travel has issued a “casting call” for new travelers to appear in their Destination Confidential web series.

 

The series has travel partners sent on surprise trips by one of Liberty Travel’s consultants.
To win, you need to submit some pictures of yourself on the road along with a 500-word essay on how you immersed yourself in a destination on a recent trip.

 

You also need to: have a valid passport with an expiration date that is at least six months out; be available to meet with a Liberty Travel consultant for up to five hours in the days leading up to the trip; be free to travel out of the country with limited notice; be 21-years of age or older.  The goal of the series is to show how using a travel agent can make even the most last minute travel, hitch-free and easy in comparison to booking yourself.

 
The second contest will change a traveler’s life forever.
A Canadian filmmaker who has made her home in Luang Prabang, Laos, is giving away that life to one lucky traveler (who wants to stay put in Luang Prabang as an expat bookshop owner).

 
Isabel Dréan is an award-winning filmmaker from Montreal, Canada. The French Canadian is the owner of L’Étranger, Books & Tea, Kopnoi Gallery in Luang Prabang, Laos. She’s decided to “pay it forward” and rather than sell her $250,000 business and home, she’s giving it away in an essay competition.  The winner gets the bookshop and a fair trade gallery, a motorcycle, foreign investor residence status and $10,000.

 
“I landed in the world heritage town of Luang Prabang as a tourist planning to stay for two days and ended up staying for 10 years. It was a life-changing decision but it’s time for a new chapter, so why not give this chance to someone else?,” she said in a released statement.
Contestants of the “Ultimate Dream Life Abroad” competition have to answer the 200-word question, “Why me?” or give a video answer.  The competition closes June 6, 2017.
You can enter here and decide if a move to Luang Prabang is part of your life story.
