Help Me Win A Free Trip To Costa Rica

I need your help!

A few weeks ago I entered a contest being held by Nomadic Matt and GAP Adventures. The prize is a free two-week trip to Costa Rica (airfare included). To enter, you simply had to write a blog post or create a video about why you wanted to go to Costa Rica. I decided to make a video!

I assumed a million people would enter the contest… and I thought my chances of winning would be quite slim. But as it turns out, only 42 people entered to win the free trip and I was selected as one of the 15 finalists.

In order to win, however, I need to get a bunch of people to go to this page and vote for me (#10 Darren Alff).

So… if you have 5 seconds to spare, I could really use your vote!

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to this website.
2. Scroll down until you see my name in the voting area (I am #10 Darren Alff).
3. Click the bubble next to my name and cast your vote!

• If you really want to help me out… leave a comment at the end of that same page and tell Nomadic Matt and GAP Adventures why you think I would be the best person to win the trip to Costa Rica. Maybe you could tell them about something you learned from me? Or a way that I’ve motivated you? Whatever you feel like saying!
• And if you REALLY want to go above any beyond, it would be great if you could tell your friends, family and co-workers to vote for me as well. Every vote counts!

Finally, a ton of readers here at BicycleTouringPro.com have already sent their votes my way, so I want to thank those of you who have already voted, left a comment, or emailed me to share your support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

But if you haven’t voted yet (or left a comment), I could really use your help. The voting ends of March 1st and as of this moment, I am currently in 2nd place.

If you want to watch the video I made to make me a finalist in this contest, simply press play on the video below.

Click here to visit the voting page and cast your vote for #10 Darren Alff. Thank you once again!
