Announcing The Contest Winners!

It was great fun reading through all of your submissions over the places you want to revisit, seeing the stories you all had to tell and the reasons you held nostalgia for the trips you once took, and aim to take again. These stories are precisely what we love to see here on TravelFeed, so we want to thank you all for taking the time to share those stories and contribute to the community. 

We don't want to take too much of your time, however. Those new travels await, after all! So let's take a dive into our three contest winners!

First Place: @lauramica - 15 HBD.

The walk progressed and the landscapes became more and more beautiful. We started to see some snow, which we didn't expect in the middle of summer. Although the trail was not marked, it was fairly marked and very intuitive. We walked for a long time, until the two girls who had hesitated to continue, decided to turn back. We tried to convince them, but there was no point and they backed down. But one of them and I were still very excited about finishing the tour so we split up.

Second Place: @koenau - 10 HBD.

This is still important in the first hours of the 160-kilometer tour (stage description), which is divided into twelve days, through the Helambu Valley to the Langtang area with the almost 5,000-meter peak of the Tsergo-Ri. But anyone who flies to Nepal to go trekking, like the extremely fit friends Ewa and Rosi in their mid-fifties or the 74-year-old world traveler Herbert, knows that this is not a race, but an endurance run.

Third Place: @new.things - 5 HBD.

Another of our reasons for visiting Japan in Winter was to ski and that did not disappoint either. Japow they call it as Japanese power snow is so dry and fluffy which makes skiing and turning a delight. So much better than the wet heavy or sheet ice snow cover we get back home in the Australian ski fields. I have skied and snow boarded in a few places around the world. New Zealand, Canada and Switzerland. It is hard to make a call on which is the best but Mount Isola in the Rusutu Resort had a lot going for it. Great snow conditions probably the best I have experienced. The Mountain is not that high above sea level only 994 metres but as it is so cold and very close to the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan which seems to help make for great dry, light and fluffy snow. The other thing I like about skiing up north on the Island of Hokkaido was there was next to no lift lines queues or crowds we could pretty much just ski straight on and back up to the top quickly and easily.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this contest. We aim to continue releasing them and finding fun and engaging ways for you all to earn a little extra during your travels as you blog about them. Keep an eye on our front-end and in the Hive community for future details.
