How to Win!
It’s not difficult to be in the running for this amazing prize, as long as you take a close look at these and other requirements. Remember, only the best entries will get voted by the public and by our judges, so give yourself the best chance possible.
The themes covered on the Destinations website:
If you love to travel, I think you’ll enjoy this article about Fred Finn, the 15 million-mile man.
“Today, Fred has crossed the Atlantic 2,000 times; he’s taken 718 Concord flights and visited 139 countries. Having clocked up over 15 million miles he is the Guinness World Record holder for the World’s Most Travelled Man. Not bad for a man who claims he used to get car sick.”
So where else does Fred want to go? Maybe he should ask Chris Guillebeau, the younger version of Fred, who has visited every country in the world, except one I believe it’s Norway, before his 35th birthday.
Fred Finn, a man who has been to over 139 countries, says his highlights have been:
- Paragliding and big game fishing in Florida
- Croatia has also won him over
- For beauty Fred recommends the Seychelles
- For history he adores Romney Marsh in south-east England
- For warmth of welcome the Ukraine
“The Ukrainians are the most hospitable people, they really are magnificent.”
With so much under his belt is there anywhere still on his bucket list?
“Antarctica,” he says after careful consideration.
So should I enter the contest?
- What kind of video should I make?
- What angle should I take to stand out from the “young people?”
- What would interest you ?
- What can I bring to this competition?
- Would you support me?
What about you? Do you want to give it a shot?

HELL yeah!!! GO for it! I intend to too. You have so much to offer, Sonia. You’re used to the camera, you’re sassy and well travelled with your head screwed on…so GO for it!
I shall also put my thinking cap on. We’ve got time after all.
Good luck!
Sonia Marsh says
Bex,
I knew you would. I am just thinking about a great video, just like you are, I’m sure. I can’t compete with the bungee jumping crowd. I also wish I had video from Belize, instead of California. Are you doing something about Greece or a vacation you took?

Penelope J. says
I know you’ll go for it in a big Gutsy way! If I were entering, which I’m not, I’d probably film a quirky, crazy video with Tierra del Fuego as my destination. In your case, perhaps you can film something related to the first chapter in your book – in a storm – though I don’t know how this would relate to a destination. Oh well, just a thought.

Pennie,
Yes, that is the tough part. To make it different and interesting enough.

Mary Hertslet says
When I first read about the BBB contest, my heart skipped a beat. Then I realized that I would not be entering. If I were younger and had my wonderlust husband by my side it would be a different story. So, since that’s not going to happen, I would pick you above anyone else to win. You are so qualified for this, it seems. With the background you’ve built up while writing and publishing your book and other travels you’ve had, it would be a natural progression in your career to travel and write about it. I hope you and Duke come up with a great video to seal the deal.
Sonia Marsh says
Mary,
That is so kind of you, and I don’t see why you couldn’t try as well. It just has to be someone who is keen on traveling and likes to share their adventures with the world.

It would be wonderful to have more of Belize, as it’s so close to paradise!
But Denmark could be a good idea too, as it would be a fabulous discovery for many of us.
Either way, it would be great to see plenty of photos, and learn about those countries from a historical and cultural angle.
Best of luck!

I love San Francisco! Check out AT&T Giant’s baseball stadium from the field, the sea lions at Pier 39, and China Town during Chinese New Years in my video at:
