WIN $25,000 worth of travel from Intrepid

Intrepid Travel are offering a US$25,000 travel prize.

Imagine the possibilities!! The website also came up with a few possibilities, see below. But here is my ultimate U$25,000 ideas.

1) Fly business to Africa, do a short tour, then join the Intrepid tours to Antarctica.
2) Fly business to UK via Dubai. Join a Rome to Paris tour and end with an indepth experience in Mount Blanc

1988, The epic African overland adventure

If you’ve got time to spare, why not follow in the footsteps of our founders, whose overland trip through Africa in 1988 marked the start of Intrepid. You could recreate this epic journey on an overland adventure from Cape Town to Nairobi on Africa Encompassed, discover the wild landscapes of the Ethiopian Highlands or any other African experience you can imagine!

1989, The sultry South-East Asian escape

We ventured into South-East Asia in 1989 when we ran our first trip in Thailand. Since then, Thailand has become a gateway into the east for many of us. So would your adventure be complete without a trek through the northern hilltribes, a Real Food Adventure through Thailand’s incredible cuisines or a sailing adventure over Thailand’s balmy seas.

1990-1992, A diverse delve into Asia

In the early 1990s, we wanted our travellers to experience the full diversity of Asia, so we started running trips in Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. With $25,000 to spend, you could take the Vietnam Express from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and discover beautiful Bali, or delve into the diversity of Malaysia.

2002, The philanthropic adventurer

After thirteen years of adventuring, we set up The Intrepid Foundation in 2002 to support projects in the communities we visit. Since then, we’ve raised over AUD 2.4 million, and have met some of the world’s most inspiring humanitarians. Our travellers can see some of the great work The Intrepid Foundation is supporting, as many of our trips visit one of the projects. So you could meet some of the world’s most diverse wildlife at the Charles Darwin Foundation in the Galapagos or learn about the work being done to help Russia’s homeless at the Nochlezhka Organisation on the Classic Russia and Ukraine trip. Now that's a feel-good adventure!

2004, A European odyssey

Wind back to our 15th birthday in 2004, and Intrepid was just venturing into Europe. Its rich culture and history blew our minds, and we swore we wouldn’t stop until we had adventures through every cobbled avenue of this ancient continent. And with $25,000, you could traverse cultural hotspots from Barcelona to Rome, explore Croatia’s gems and maybe even discover what’s so unique about Iceland.

2007, Lusting after Latin America?

Exploring Latin America can be daunting for any traveller, and we were no exception when we started running trips there in 2007. But those alluring Latino ways had us hooked from day one, and we have been enamoured with South America ever since. The adventure of your dreams in this part of the world might take in the majesty of Peru, the complete Columbian coffee experience and the tasty treats of Argentina on our new Real Food Adventure.

2008, Born to be wild - the big country adventure

Until 2008, we hadn’t run an adventure in North America. But we soon fell in love with the landscapes of northern America and the lure of the open road. And with $25,000, you could enjoy the tropical treats of Hawaii, discover the west coast on a Wine, Desert and Coast adventure or travel east and explore from New York City to Niagara Falls.

2010-2013, A polar expedition

By 2010, we realised there was still one final, elusive continent that we didn’t visit. So we set sail to Antarctica for the first time. Since then, we’ve become experts at leading adventures in both the Arctic and Antarctic. So why not spend your prize exploring the Antarctic via the Falklands and South Georgia or take an exclusive trip to the Spitsbergen led by one of the world’s most famous adventurers, Tim Jarvis.
