I’d go to Krubera, the deepest cave in the world!
Brad Carmichael — June 23rd, 2011, 6:31 pm
Currently Deployed to Afghanistan and when I get back I would take my wife to Kauai. Thanks for all you do and keep it up.
Andy — June 23rd, 2011, 6:33 pm
Flight to Vegas, rest on black 23, rest is up to the wheel
Katie — June 24th, 2011, 11:20 pm
I will go to Southern Spain so that I can finally become fluent in Spanish. I have wanted to go to Spain since I was young. I would be working for eco-resorts or family-run businesses as well in exchange for room and board.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Katie
Azzy — June 30th, 2011, 4:38 pm
If I win I am going to AUSTRALIA.
M-S — June 23rd, 2011, 4:13 pm
Congrats to Sheila!
Now I can move on with my life and not check Tim’s site every 30 minutes.
Best wishes to all the other contestants.
Sheila McCarthy — June 25th, 2011, 8:06 pm
Thank you! I’m so jazzed about going
Rock On!
mehdi — June 23rd, 2011, 4:18 pm

It will go toward my savings to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Von — June 23rd, 2011, 4:25 pm
How many winners are there going to be for the $1,000 Travelocity promo?
Ranjith — June 23rd, 2011, 4:33 pm
Hi Von, one lucky winner will get a $1000 Travelocity gift card.
Rabbi Issamar Ginzberg — June 23rd, 2011, 4:27 pm
Fantastic Job, Tim!
I’m constantly amazed at the way you do things… I may be an expert but from Tim Ferriss there’s always a new angle to learn from!
Kennick Vermeille — June 23rd, 2011, 4:28 pm
I want to go to Japan and learn Kendo while party rocking
Erica C — June 23rd, 2011, 4:29 pm
I’d like to use this voucher to go on a relaxing vacation, maybe Maui?, after I finish my MBA!
David Schloss — June 23rd, 2011, 4:29 pm
If I win, I’d use the Travelocity points to visit, and actually move, to New Jersey. I’ve been considering the move for some time, but cannot travel back and forth to find a place and then move because I’m in Florida (too costly of a process). These additional points would help the overall cost of the initial moving process.
Ross — June 23rd, 2011, 4:29 pm
Thailand & it’s islands have been on my list for some time now and I’ve finally managed to talk the wife into it. All we need to do now is win the voucher and we can go
David Khem — June 23rd, 2011, 4:29 pm
If I win, I’ll travel to London and check out all the best tourist attractions
Alisa — June 23rd, 2011, 4:30 pm
If I were to win, I’d go to an all-inclusive resort, maybe in Puerto Morales, Mexico. I’d read, walk, snorkel and try really hard not to work at all. I’d also take my Mom, who could really use a vacation. We’d go back to the Dos Ojos cenote and swim in the gorgeous underground lake….
Lee — June 23rd, 2011, 4:30 pm
If we win, we’d love to return to Scotland, sample some whiskys, and and enjoy the countryside!
Brendan O'Neil — June 23rd, 2011, 4:31 pm
I would travel to the Dominican Republic to visit my best friends whom I don’t see enough in January while they are all there for winter break. Thanks for the opportunity!
Lesli — June 23rd, 2011, 4:31 pm
I want to go to Greece, i want to hike every inch of it. i want to spend the night outside next to fountains, and eat my lunch while sitting on an ancient relic.
Alexander — June 23rd, 2011, 4:32 pm
Argentina, no question.

JD — June 23rd, 2011, 4:34 pm

I’d head to Osaka, Japan in search of collecting more unwanted Japanese instruments. I’ve acquired a shamisen and 2 unwanted kotos so far and am bringing them home to Los Angeles.
Frank Agz — June 23rd, 2011, 4:35 pm
If I win, I’d go to Punta Del Este, Uruguay for New Years and enjoy reverse summer on the beach.
Jeremiah Warren — June 23rd, 2011, 4:35 pm
If 1k covered it, I would go to Israel, but I don’t think that is enough so either Colorado where I’ll take my family and visit some friends we have up there, or LA, California where I’ll network with some filmmaking contacts I have.
Ryan Maguire — June 23rd, 2011, 4:36 pm
If I win I’ll go to Argentina and study Spanish.
Heather — June 23rd, 2011, 4:38 pm
I’d use the voucher toward the cost of a flight back to Australia — just returned to home (Virginia) after living in Oz for a year. I’d go in time for Oz-famous pastry chef Adriano Zumbo’s Macaron Day. It’s in November and I want to go to Macaron Day so I can continue my “No Macaron Left Behind” challenge (http://theresnoplacelikeoz.com/tag/macaron/)! I’ve tasted 67 flavors so far and need to get back to Sydney so I can continue my quest.
Jeff Tom — June 23rd, 2011, 4:38 pm

Christine — June 23rd, 2011, 4:43 pm
If I won, I’d travel to china to explore tea farms. Using Tim’s book 4hww, I’m starting my tea business and it would be a great experience!
(Or I’d go to Turkey because the art is absolutely mind blowing.)
Tom — June 23rd, 2011, 4:44 pm
I would go to Toronto, but instead of possibly sleeping in my friends car and showering at a fitness center, we would stay in a highly rated hotel.
Sam — June 23rd, 2011, 4:44 pm
If I win I will go to Germany and explore Bavaria (where my family is from), the Alps, and Berlin.
Sarah — June 23rd, 2011, 4:45 pm
Hmmmmm. Ecuador or Chile would be high on the list. But I’m going to Alaska before that.
Anthony D — June 23rd, 2011, 4:46 pm
I have been lucky enough to go around Asia, but where I have always wanted to go most is Italy. Me and my girlfriend would eat ourselves silly in the motherland!
Howard — June 23rd, 2011, 4:46 pm
Travel around Asia! Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea!
DaveMarkel — June 23rd, 2011, 4:47 pm

Nathan Bailey — June 23rd, 2011, 4:47 pm
I would travel to Turks and Caicos
Weaves — June 23rd, 2011, 4:47 pm

JTetrault — June 23rd, 2011, 4:48 pm
I would go to the Dominican Republic for some much needed R&R. I’ve been dealing with health issues for 3 years and I think that a trip would be a great way to put it behind me!
Christian — June 23rd, 2011, 4:48 pm
Maybe Australia
Joseph — June 27th, 2011, 8:06 pm
I would get a ticket to Belgium to visit a beautiful girl I know there, and we would visit Amsterdam together.

Jason — June 23rd, 2011, 4:49 pm

Seth T. — June 23rd, 2011, 4:58 pm
With $1,000 from Travelocity, I would take me and my girlfriend to Florida to visit my best friend before he has his new baby!
And before coming back, I’ll make my girlfriend my Fiance` while we are boating out into the crystal clear waters of the Gulf. She’s Puerto Rican and was too young to remember being down there.
Dave Holden — June 23rd, 2011, 4:58 pm

Alex — June 23rd, 2011, 4:59 pm
Would love to fly out to LA.
Katherine — June 23rd, 2011, 5:01 pm
I would take my 2 year old to Hawaii to tandem surf with him for the first time.
Nick B — June 23rd, 2011, 5:01 pm
My first choice would be to take my parents to Scotland and Ireland. It’s been a dream of theirs for many years. After much research on our family history, my father has found that we are descendants of the Cambell Clan in Scotland. He also uncovered that Robert the Bruce was a relative of the Cambells. This was amazing to learn about, and I would love to give this opportunity away to them to realize their dream.
My other choices include a tour of South America starting in Costa Rica and ending in Buenos Aires. Also, I’ve been researching my lifelong dream of traveling to SE Asia and exploring The Great Wall of China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This trip would be at least 6 months long so I could take in all of it’s mysteries and beauty.
Good luck to everyone and safe travels to the winners!
Shirley — June 23rd, 2011, 5:02 pm
My son and I would like to go to Egypt. I would like to see the pyramids and he wants to play in the sand
Colin — June 23rd, 2011, 5:03 pm
As much as I would love to travel back to Ireland, or have an exotic adventure, I’d probably use it over several trips to visit friends and family across the country (many that I haven’t seen in years).
Gina Fanara — June 23rd, 2011, 5:04 pm
I would go to the Caribbean, specifically St. Croix, because I have never been to the Caribbean and think it would amazing to experience some paradise on Earth!! I would go hiking, snorkeling, and maybe even some parasailing and ziplining! But most importantly, I would lay out on the beach and just…RELAX.
Neville — June 23rd, 2011, 5:05 pm
Head to Eastern Europe /Central Asia and explore the street food scene.
Jamie Lynn Kellogg — June 23rd, 2011, 5:05 pm
This irregular and imperfect yoga-girl (well, not sure girl really fits; more like middle-aged, kinda hip Mom) would go on a first time yoga retreat somewhere in South America to calm this CrAzY mind and to really get into the swing of practice. Yep, I hear yoga requires you to do it more than once a month.
Stirling Gardner — June 23rd, 2011, 5:06 pm
I will go to Malaysia and get my blood oxygenated by the best hospital in the world for such things.
Sean — June 23rd, 2011, 5:07 pm

Natalia — June 23rd, 2011, 5:15 pm
If I win the Travelocity Voucher, I want to go to Japan and spend some quiet time there. The past few years have been stressful due to the abundance of college work, so giving myself some “me time” would be splendid.
Kelly — June 23rd, 2011, 5:15 pm
If I win I’ll go to Japan and find a way to help with the relief efforts there
Tanapat Dangmeon — June 23rd, 2011, 5:16 pm
I will go to northern India and follow Buddha’s journey to enlightenment and nirvana.
Russel Maxwell — June 23rd, 2011, 5:17 pm
Giveaway ends June 31, 2011? Does that mean it never ends?
Melissa — June 23rd, 2011, 5:17 pm
If I win the contest I will take a trip through the Turkish part of the Abraham Path. A path set up, in part, by Ted Ury. He is a Harvard anthropologist who has spent the last 20 years helping to resolve conflict around the world. He believes the Abraham Path is one step toward finding common ground in the Middle East and I would like to see it in action. Also, Istanbul, the Great Bazaar and the Blue Mosque would be fantastic to see!
If you are interested in the Abraham Path check of Ted Ury’s Ted Talk.

Gary Taylor — June 23rd, 2011, 5:18 pm
I will go to Macchu Picchu and learn it’s ancient secrets, then write a book and sell it to you then travel the world some more. I will also, in this order, kiss an alpaca, probably eat guinea pig and / or monkey parts, while being told it’s chicken, and most likely contract malaria. Let’s roll, Tim Ferriss!
Michael Saccardo — June 23rd, 2011, 5:18 pm
If I won the $1000 travel voucher Id like to go to Hawaii but dont have anywhere I could stay because it would cost atleast $800 for plane ticket so I would like to go to Tampa and St Petersburg Florida for week vacation and when the money for hotel room and rent car runs out I;ll find some friends to stay with
Christopher C — June 23rd, 2011, 5:20 pm
I would go to Israel. I’ve always longed to see the Holy Land, and if the fates granted me such a prize it would no doubt be a sign to fulfill this wish.
Joshua Lowman — June 23rd, 2011, 5:20 pm
Virgin Islands. Chill on a beach, snorkel. Enjoy.
Benedict Westenra — June 23rd, 2011, 5:21 pm
Congrats to Sheila! You’re a true entrepreneur.
For myself, since entering the competition I’ve followed Tim’s advice (quoting Machiavelli) to “make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth” and obtained £6,000 ($9,611) of investment to write a musical.
Now can everyone please put their kimonos back on.
Best wishes,
Benedict
Sheila McCarthy — June 23rd, 2011, 8:44 pm
Thanks Benedict!!
It was a fun contest and great way to connect
I’d still like to do a ‘final 9′ tips/tricks/lessons learned for the 4HWW community. Let me know if you’d dig it
Duke Ionescu — June 23rd, 2011, 5:22 pm
Been meaning to start exploring Asia, if I win I would start with visiting Buthan. I’ve heard amazing things and want to see for myself firsthand!
jenndelaney — June 23rd, 2011, 5:25 pm
Oh to travel, I would find myself somewhere exotic, but truth is I would go to Grants Pass, OR. I love that small river valley… the river, summer concerts in the park, hiking the wild and scenic area of the Rogue River, Crater Lake… the voucher would allow both myself and my husband to be home when my daughter sings the National Anthem at C.I.P. in August.
Christienne — June 23rd, 2011, 5:27 pm
I would take my girls to Europe and study local cultures! I loved the history in Perugia and lets not forget the wine tasting!

I will travel home to Chicago and Hilton Head, SC to visit mom and dad for some needed family time.
Gaby A. — June 23rd, 2011, 5:30 pm
I would go to Japan, no questions asked. A fantastic country, a warm people, and a land that doesn’t deserve the paranoia the press has given it. One of my dreams is to visit Kyoto and also see a traditional katana being made.
Lew Ayotte — June 23rd, 2011, 5:32 pm
If I won the 1000$ Travelocity voucher, I would go travel to Mexico to explore Mayan temples and watch the “snake” on the Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza during the Equinox.
Tristan — June 23rd, 2011, 5:36 pm
I would backpack through Guatemala.
Russel Maxwell — June 23rd, 2011, 5:37 pm
For travel though, I would want to take my family to Germany and learn about my family’s history and perhaps meet some long lost cousins.
Sam Rogers — June 23rd, 2011, 5:38 pm
I’m going to Bali to learn more about Kecak and Gamelan music, then swinging back through Australia & New Zealand where I love it so!
John — June 23rd, 2011, 5:39 pm
I would take my girl to Mexico for some much needed sun and sand.
Leonard Irwin — June 23rd, 2011, 5:41 pm
Hey Tim
You picked a great lady to be the winner. Talked to her on facebook and first to say congratulations for winning the kimono contest.
Hope all of you have fun in Napa. All the best to the other winner(s) too.
Leonard
Sheila McCarthy — June 28th, 2011, 11:44 am
You Rock Leonard! Thank you. You’re up to big things, I think everyone will enjoy your ‘Take the Lead Role in Your LIfe’ seminars/meetups where you combine your acting/teaching experience will helping people live ‘as if’ they have all the things that are important to them.
Sheila McCarthy — June 28th, 2011, 11:47 am
Thanks Leonard, You Rock! I enjoyed talking/brainstorming with you and look forward to you developing your seminars/meetups helping people try on their ‘role of a lifetime’
harmony — June 23rd, 2011, 5:44 pm
I’d go to Spain and tour the Balearic islands: visit Mahon and photography butterflies in Menorca, hike in Dragonera, camp in Cabrera and of course relax on the beach in Ibiza.
I’d like to stay long enough to learn some Catalan.
Matt Mrozinski — June 23rd, 2011, 5:46 pm
I would fly to France to bike and visit with family and friends I haven’t seen in a decade!
Adam — June 23rd, 2011, 5:46 pm
If I win, I would go to Australia. As for what I would do there? Well I’ll have to figure out what kind of adventure to go on if I win.
Heather Paulo — June 23rd, 2011, 5:48 pm
My husband and I would go to France and drink wine…and mark that off our bucket lists
and we’ll be skinny since we’ve lost 70 pounds between the two of us on 4HB.
Chris K — June 23rd, 2011, 5:49 pm
I want to get closer to the my heritage so I’d use it to fly to Europe and visit Italy and Sicily to explore the culture and possibly meet some relatives.
Jennifer — June 23rd, 2011, 5:55 pm
If I won the $1000 voucher, I would go to Belize to relax, explore, and pick out my future dream home.
Luke McAllister — June 23rd, 2011, 5:57 pm
I was researching a family trip to Disneyland when I saw this pop up on Facebook.
Odd timing? Fate? You decide! -coupled with the fact of how OUTRAGEOUS ticket prices to Disneyland are and the number of kids we have made (3) This contest is coming at a perfect time. $979 is the cost for the 3day park hopper tickets we were planning on purchasing. If that doesn’t work out the voucher will also be a drop in the bucket toward our future plans to move to NZ (as soon as we are done reading the Four hour body (lost 20 lbs so far! 4th cheat day coming up on Saturday) and the Four Hour work week.
Thank you for your consideration! Off to eat more eggs/spinach/lentils.
Joshua G. — June 23rd, 2011, 6:00 pm
After following the 4HB for 3 months now I am feeling like a machine on my road bike. Cut my BMI in half ( down to 6%) and stamina is through the roof. Looking to put together an epic National Park’s bike tour, probably North West US.
Morgan — June 23rd, 2011, 6:00 pm
I would go to Australia. It’s been at the top of my list for forever, but I’ve never had enough dough. My best friend is also moving there so seeing her would be an added bonus.
Lori — June 23rd, 2011, 6:03 pm
Will head to Bolivia (again) if I win. Want to build a new school for the non-profit I founded for kids.
Monika Rules — June 23rd, 2011, 6:04 pm
I will go on a cruise around Alaska, and take in the sights!
paulke — June 23rd, 2011, 6:14 pm

Spain!
fulltext — June 23rd, 2011, 6:21 pm
Barcelona, Spain for the food, wine and lifestyle
Chris — June 23rd, 2011, 6:22 pm
After reading 4HWW for the first time, I decided I would make a plan to visit the Greece monasteries. I am not a religions man, but there is something about these places that holds a childish fascination to me. The Holy Monastery of Rousanou/St. Barbara is the single place on this Earth that I would travel to if I was ever given one and only one opportunity to travel across the world.
CL — June 23rd, 2011, 6:22 pm
I would go to Egypt to get a feel of what’s going on there. I have a goal of going to all the continents and I have never been to Africa.
Jon — June 23rd, 2011, 6:28 pm
Seattle. It’d be pretty awesome to attend the Child’s Play charity auction.
Stephanie MacGregor — June 23rd, 2011, 6:28 pm
Hey Tim,
If I win, I would love to go to Brazil with my 6 1/2 year old daughter. We saw the movie, Rio, a couple of weeks ago and she said, “Mom, I want to go there!” I already had the travel bug but it was the first time my girl expressed it. Very exciting! As for what we would do: I would love to teach her how to body surf, connect with the kids, taste new spices and food and feel the thrill of being in a different culture and loving it! And of course, we would have to pay a visit to Christ the Redeemer (it’s on my must-see list).
Thanks for the opportunity,
Stephanie
Chris Walters — June 23rd, 2011, 6:31 pm
I would love to go to Greece, and sail around the islands. That would be incredible. It is definitely on my bucket list.
jeff — June 23rd, 2011, 6:32 pm
Uh, the rules have June 31, 2011 as the end date of the contest. Thirty days hath September, April, JUNE and November…might want to fix that!
Don W — June 23rd, 2011, 6:32 pm
I will be heading to Costa Rica. Roca Bruja and Ollie’s Point are calling my name.
Cindy Lee — June 23rd, 2011, 6:34 pm
I would go to Ireland with my fiancee and we will photograph everything!
NurAy — June 23rd, 2011, 6:39 pm
I would go to Turkey with my son instead of just sending him alone. I would visit family do some tours and really relax….
Adam — June 23rd, 2011, 6:41 pm
Aylmer, Quebec. Best poutine ever.
Morgana — June 23rd, 2011, 6:47 pm
I would go meet my Dad in London since it’s always been a dream of his to take me on a tour. (He’s lived in Europe since I was 9 years old – I’ve never left the states in all my 27 years- sad, but true. Gonna break that soon.)
James — June 23rd, 2011, 6:49 pm
If I win the $1,000 travelocity gift card giveaway I’m flying to europe to compete in an adventure race and live it up!
Doug Johnson — June 23rd, 2011, 6:49 pm
I’d head to the mountains of Mexico. I live in Cleveland and while we are here in the midst of summer, come October/November the days grow short and the clouds get gloomy. My wife and I finally figured out that I am strongly affected by SAD. Wintering on the plains of Colorado a couple of years ago proved the theory. This year I’m planning on Mexico…the biggest expense, of course, is getting there by air. This would make all the difference, doncha know.
Thanks for the chance.
Jason Honeycutt — June 23rd, 2011, 6:50 pm
Headed out to Korea to see my girl!!
Jason — June 23rd, 2011, 6:52 pm
I would go to Melbourne, Australia. Probably stay there for 6-months or so and learn how to kite-board — something I’ve always wanted to do!
Jennifer — June 23rd, 2011, 6:55 pm
I would go to Ireland!
Dillon — June 23rd, 2011, 6:57 pm
I will go to India with my wife. Great food, beautiful sights, and rich history!
Jamie AnneMarie — June 23rd, 2011, 6:57 pm
I am currently saving up to go to Yosemite, it’s the LAST National Park on my list! I’ve been saving up to spend a couple of weeks in the park with my camera and my journal to bring myself back to centerdness!
Cindy K — June 23rd, 2011, 6:58 pm
If I win, I’d go on a cross country road trip with my family.
Francesca — June 23rd, 2011, 6:58 pm
I’d take the the $1,000 and put it towards a ticket to Mongolia. I’m planning a solo expedition there for 2012 to ride my bicycle across part of the Gobi desert. I’m super stoked about doing something physically and emotionally challenging.
Nick Williams — June 23rd, 2011, 7:00 pm
I’ll head to Jakarta with my brother, so we can start up a travel blog. He’s a great photographer, and I love to write, so it would be perfect.
Andrew — June 23rd, 2011, 7:04 pm
I’d take my fam to Costa Rica for a month. Rent a house on AirBnB, learn how to surf, and get my kids immersed in a little Spanish.
Vince Wong — June 23rd, 2011, 7:05 pm
hahaha Tim my apologies re: drunk pic but you knew it would surface some day
What we need now is footage of you downing 2010 Argentinian Vintage in Wine County like a dry man in the desert, correct?
Congrats to contestants, there were really some awesome finalist submissions. As a somewhat private person in real life I know how it’s like to put your face out there and push your comfort zone to make something like this. It certainly pushed mine…
The real challenge was finding out about the contest for the first time only 48 hours prior to deadline and meeting the 2k view counts to even be eligible LOL (barely!). I knew this particular video wasn’t going to win based on view count alone, but I did it anyway to challenge myself and also learned a few new things on video marketing, so it was still worth it…
In the last few hours of the post going up I’ve received a few emails asking how I got started. So here’s the original unlisted and unedited version I made that explains more of my story, exclusive for 4HWW fans:
http://bit.ly/mN6rxB
This was never previously published because it was a little long for the purposes of this contest, but it does go a little more into my background and how I began…
Thank you for the honorable mention (despite the photo LOL). I’m sure it’s going to be a great event. Wish I could be there, but will have to just live vicariously through you other lucky buggers
cheers
Vince
rob — June 23rd, 2011, 7:05 pm
I will go to Mexico and drink and eat everything.
Terri — June 23rd, 2011, 7:08 pm

Harper — June 23rd, 2011, 7:09 pm
I would go to New York and eat amazing food with my cousin Corinne. Oh, also, I want to go to some zoos >_>
Tristan — June 23rd, 2011, 7:11 pm
I’d take my wife to New Zealand, go white water rafting and see if she’ll bunji jump (even though I, surely, will not
).
Caitlyn Hauswirth — June 23rd, 2011, 7:14 pm
I will be going to the Dominican Republic with my best friends at college since freshman year. We will all be graduating this coming year and going our separate ways com May 2012 and we want to get together and enjoy each others company…somewhere warm!
Jason Lovett — June 23rd, 2011, 7:22 pm
Hey Tim! I know, it’s not exactly across-the-globe travel, but right now I’m going through a huge transition from RI to MI, to move all by my lonesome. I’m 18, and I’m going there to establish in-state residency for future college at MSU (to be a Game Designer! :]), though I’m definitely going to travel a LOT before then, maybe even indefinitely if I can get my future Indie Game Company a-rolling! Thanks a lot for this opportunity, Tim!
You’re an inspiration to us all, for sure.
-Jason
Steve — June 23rd, 2011, 7:34 pm
I’d go to Brazil and train Brazilian Jiujitsu for at least a month (yeah, I know it will cost a lot more than $1,000 hehe).
Tanner Campbell — June 23rd, 2011, 7:34 pm
The 2nd Season of Wonderful World of Beer (look at me getting ahead of myself we’re not even done with the first season!) is meant to be a European tour – that’s what we’d use the voucher for! BEER ME!
Hecke — June 23rd, 2011, 7:35 pm
I would road trip across the states. Do some hiking and get some good eats.
Andrea M. — June 23rd, 2011, 7:42 pm
If I win, my family and I will take a trip to New Zealand. My kids and I have never been out of the U.S., but we’ve always wanted to go there. We may stay there for good, if we can find a way. Either that, or Disneyland. The words “New Zealand” and “Disneyland” sound the same to my 5-year-old.
Mike P — June 23rd, 2011, 7:43 pm
If I win, I think I’ll go to the Pacific Northwest. I’ve always wanted to check out Washington State and Vancouver…
David — June 23rd, 2011, 7:46 pm
If I win this I will do something like volunteer at conservation patagonia, work in refugee camps in Africa,or go skateboarding in Barcelona. Alright the last one now seems ridiculous compared to the other ones, so I guess Im stuck with the former (I do love skateboarding though…
Sure overseas will cost a little bit more, but hell, for $1,000 dollars off I pitch the extra for an unbelievable experience.
Luke Westlie — June 23rd, 2011, 7:49 pm
Los Andes, Chile. Explore the Andes and do humanitarian aid work in nearby communities.
Marcie — June 23rd, 2011, 7:49 pm
I’d love to go to Costa Rica
Kyle Morrow — June 23rd, 2011, 7:55 pm
I would go to different areas of Africa to make videos and take photos to use for awareness about the need for clean water. I would use the material for the movement/online business I have been working on thanks to the tips and inspiration from the 4HWW. Your awesome Tim. Thanks for doing what you do.
Kyle
Maddeline Lussier — June 23rd, 2011, 7:55 pm

Frida — June 23rd, 2011, 7:57 pm

Heidi — June 23rd, 2011, 8:05 pm
I would love to take my 2 sons to Italy to visit the glass blowers of Murano and of course enjoy the great food and relax.
Zach — June 23rd, 2011, 8:07 pm
I would take my family to Wingaersheek beach in Massachusetts to see cousins and an Aunt/Uncle I havent seen in 20 years.
I would also (more likely) fly my Aunt/Uncle down to be with my mom as she cares for my terminal stepfather.
David — June 23rd, 2011, 8:10 pm
Thailand for Rotary International conference in 2012
Mark — June 23rd, 2011, 8:10 pm
I’d take a trip to Thailand to lie on the most beautiful beaches in the world, eat amazing food, and train Muay Thai. I can’t think of a better trip than that.
Gavin S — June 23rd, 2011, 8:16 pm
I’d go to Cape Hatterus, North Carolina to learn kiteboarding.
Mark — June 23rd, 2011, 8:18 pm
Id go to Sao Paulo and eat Churrasco and Brazil nuts until my testosterone levels are off the charts. Then Id go to Rio and use that testosterone to bang the girl from Ipanema.
Mark — June 23rd, 2011, 8:21 pm
Then I would give her a 15 minute orgasm.
Troy — June 23rd, 2011, 8:26 pm
I’ll go to South America starting in Venezuela, and keep going for as long as I can!
Ambriss — June 23rd, 2011, 8:26 pm

Greg — June 23rd, 2011, 8:27 pm
I would go to Chile, and work on a farm through http://www.wwoofchile.cl/ for four months or so, learning about the culture and maybe piano, always wanted to learn piano, I’ll find a piano teacher down there and make it happen. I’m continuing my journey.
Sheila McCarthy — June 23rd, 2011, 8:36 pm
Woohoo!! I’m soooooooo excited
Thanks Tim for the opportunity to win the scholarship.
Looking forward to the event in Napa–learning,fun, connections, expansion…
Thanks to everybody for all the <3
Devin M — June 23rd, 2011, 8:37 pm
When I win I’m going to Argentina to see what all the fuss is about in Buenos Aires, starting playing guitar again, learn to tango, and then to Brazil to find my long lost great grandfathers family! And hopefully check out a few distilleries along the way, woohoo!
Sonya Yonash — June 23rd, 2011, 8:40 pm
If I win I’m headed to India!
Rob Spencer — June 23rd, 2011, 8:48 pm
There are so many places I want to go. Can I post more than one comment?
One place I want to go is wales (my last name is Spencer. Although, I am far from royalty. My dad is a school custodian, and I’m certainly not rich). Then I’d go to Wolverhampton (near Birmingham) and visit my Grandpa.
furetosan — June 23rd, 2011, 8:51 pm
Easy as pie: I’ll add some hard-earned bread of my own and fly to hong kong to get me some practice on the skills of Neil Strauss’ game.
Liz | Two Weeks to Travel — June 23rd, 2011, 8:52 pm
Without a doubt I’d do Africa. I just always have thought it must be one of the most amazing and beautiful places in the world. I’d love to bring my camera, relax at a camp, take some amazing pictures and just learn from being in such a special place.
Jonathan — June 23rd, 2011, 8:59 pm
I’d go to Mt. Whitney CA and climb the summit
Becky — June 23rd, 2011, 9:00 pm
I’ll go to Palau — scuba dive in the ocean, snorkel with the jellyfish, kayak through the Rock Islands and learn about the culture!
LORENA — June 23rd, 2011, 9:02 pm
Definitely I’d take off to Bali..
$1000 should be enough for at least the flight, lol.
Why Bali? Because there are beautiful beaches, culture & history, spirituality, and fantastic hotels / hospitality – most of the things that make a destination worth visiting at least once in your life
tanya crino — June 23rd, 2011, 9:08 pm
I would use the money to go to New Zealand to celebrate New Year’s in Gisborne!
Graham — June 23rd, 2011, 9:13 pm
Vietnam, baby. I cook for a living, and Vietnamese food is one of my passions. To see it firsthand would be incredible.
Christine — June 23rd, 2011, 9:14 pm
We’re going to Italy to eat gelato, and I’m going to zip around the streets of Rome on a Vespa.
brad white — June 23rd, 2011, 9:16 pm

Im currently traveling the world for a year, Inspired by the 4 hour work week. Im in New Zealand and going to Australia next to dive the Great Barrier Reef, its always been a dream of mine. I would use the voucher to further expand my trip in China to learn a Martial Art at a Temple. After seeing Africa, Europe, and South East Asia I would like to learn Tai Chi from a Chinese Master at a Temple.
Jerren Taylor — June 23rd, 2011, 9:23 pm
When I win I plan to hit up Japan for a week and visit family.

Mike L. — June 23rd, 2011, 9:47 pm

Eoghan — June 23rd, 2011, 9:49 pm
i would bring my girlfriend to your beloved argentina… to experience the contrasting winter of patagonia and summer of buenos aires (this is all relative to galway weather)… my reason? she doesn’t believe in a 4 hour work week… i hope to convince her
Cody McKibben — June 23rd, 2011, 9:55 pm
Awesome Tim, thanks for your continued commitment to sharing cool opportunities with your readers! Lately my whole life has changed and I’m no longer held back by some obstacles I had until now, and also recently I’ve been questioning a few times why I got started in my business in the first place. It’s time for a reset, and to reexamine my business and my commitment to the people I set out to help. I’ve been enjoying Krabi, Thailand, for the last 9 months but I’ve let myself slip quite a bit. I’d take the $1,000 to spend the next 3-6 months in Bali, find a nice quiet place tucked away somewhere with a little solitude, and work on centering back on my mission, getting my business back on track in the right direction, working on self improvement, and aligning once again with what I’m truly all about.
Susumu — June 23rd, 2011, 9:56 pm
I will go to Finland and watch Aurora!!!! It’s on my 6 months dreamline and I’m working on it.
david — June 23rd, 2011, 9:58 pm
I would fulfill my wish and go to China to learn probably the most beautiful language in the world
(@Tim Why doesn’t a Facebook click get me +1 entry? It’s only Twitter based..)
Ranjith — June 24th, 2011, 8:34 am
Hi David, thanks for your feedback. This will be integrated soon, hang in there!
Natalie Bauer — June 23rd, 2011, 10:20 pm
Congratulations to Sheila & Jacqueline!
If I won I’d probably have to pick destinations from a hat.
I could drop into Tokyo and visit my brother from another mother who I haven’t seen since 2006 then hop over to Korea where I lived before and catch up with my amazing friends.
I could visit Austria where half of meine Familie ist in Wien. I haven’t seen them since I was seven. I can get to know them again and dig into my culture and family history.
Or I could tick a dream destination off my list like Tibet, Morocco or Tahiti.
Ah, what the hell – all of the above.
Alles Gute und Liebe Tim!
Sheila McCarthy — June 28th, 2011, 11:52 am
Thanks Natalie! Good luck getting to all of your dream destinations
James — June 23rd, 2011, 10:22 pm
If I win I will go to the island of Svalbard where I plan to go polar bear watching, explore glacial caves, check out the day-glow aurora borealis and kayak with Narwhals.
Shannon D — June 23rd, 2011, 10:24 pm
I would go to India to join my good friend and travel blogger Colin Wright of Exilelifestyle.com while he is living there, and hopefully use this as the starting point to travel full time. My father died 6 years ago, my grandmother died last spring and my grandfather died yesterday.Although I’m only 26 I’ve wanted to travel full time for a while now but have been “planning” to do it, after all this shit has happened to me… there is nothing left to do but to do it.
I’m hoping to find some money someplace by selling all of my stuff and doing freelance social media jobs on the side… any help with finances, including this free travel money would be aah-ma-zing!
Sob story over
Chris Montone — June 23rd, 2011, 10:45 pm
I’d go on a week long cruise down the Mexican Rivera. Cruises are awesome, food, hotel & travel all rolled into one.
Nick — June 23rd, 2011, 10:49 pm
I will go to brazil, learn Portuguese while learning Capoeira and hopefully find a few beautiful women along the way…
Ryan B. — June 23rd, 2011, 10:53 pm
I would take my soon to be wife (this Nov.) on a honeymoon to Northern Italy and drink the best Nebbiolo we can find with a “na zdrowie” to Tim… Thanks for the chance! Good luck everyone.
MsJ777 — June 23rd, 2011, 11:00 pm
I would visit Knossos, Crete–visit the “palace” ruins.
Grant — June 23rd, 2011, 11:07 pm
I would take my wife and two daughters to Azores islands off Portugal. My wife has ancestry there and we’ve not yet explored there first hand.
Scott — June 23rd, 2011, 11:13 pm
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Was there for just a few days in 2006 and loved it. Would go back and re-learn Spanish, and travel throughout the country a la Tim.
Jen — June 23rd, 2011, 11:30 pm
Depending on the responses from each place I would go to Vietnam, Kazahkstan, Albania or Nigeria and use the trip not just for sightseeing but as a chance to further my approach and ideas for increasing cultural integration in international English based education. These are three areas where there is a strong focus in English language education but little to no attention given to the cultural gap leaving the students of their system culturally outside the western world despite their education. (While I’m overseas at the moment I’m still a US resident.) The other place I really want to go would be India – that would be more for fun and only a little bit of career development. Where ever it would be up I’d couchsurf my way across the country.
Eiji Morishita — June 24th, 2011, 12:04 am
With the $1000 Voucher, I would plan to go to Japan with my wife to visit the natural hot springs and do a tour of the country.
Anouar — June 24th, 2011, 12:20 am
I’dd go to SF and meet some cool people
Rob — June 24th, 2011, 1:04 am
I would love to take my wife to Switzerland to visit her grandparents!
Joseph Landry — June 24th, 2011, 1:05 am
I would go to New Zealand to go boar hunting
Trevor Wright — June 24th, 2011, 1:06 am
I’d go to Moscow, because it’s the most expensive city in the world and I don’t speak a word of Russian.
Carlos — June 24th, 2011, 1:09 am
I’m going to Paris! And never coming back!!
Daryl — June 24th, 2011, 1:24 am
For some reason, I’ve had a hankering to go to Brazil and hone my capoiera. Or perhaps Argentina and work on my tango and spanish.
Pat Phelan — June 24th, 2011, 1:41 am
Tim
I would like to offer 10 of your winners maxroam global sim cards for roaming with 100 euro credit on each

Bert — June 24th, 2011, 1:43 am
I will go (whether I win or not) to Asia and visit as many countries as possible while getting as much cultural shocks and crazy experiences as possible (never been to Asia)
This will certainly expand my world and give me lots of learning opportunities.
Thanks.
Bert
Karenn — June 24th, 2011, 1:48 am
Hi
I would take my children across Europe by train into Italy (I am from the UK!) and go visit Pompeii, Rome (again!) and the Amalfi coast. I would love to hire a boat as well and cruise round the coast – oh and learn how to handle the boat so I could go back and do it myself next time.
Karenn — June 24th, 2011, 1:55 am
Oh – didint read the T&C’s – was just too damned excited. Now realise this is only open to you lucky guys in North America. Please feel free to follow my dream if you win though!!

Chris Odell — June 24th, 2011, 2:06 am
I’d go to China to meet my manufacturers in person and maybe stop by Thailand on the way home for fun
Jackie — June 24th, 2011, 2:44 am
If I win the Travelocity Voucher I will take my girlfriend to Costa Rica…unless I can convince her to run the Athens Marathon. If she agrees then we will be off to Greece!!!
Adam Hansen — June 24th, 2011, 3:07 am

Camila Prada — June 24th, 2011, 3:47 am
Thank you so much Tim and team for the honourable mention!
Kevin Sterling — June 24th, 2011, 4:16 am
I would go horseback riding across the Mongolian Steppes–chasing falcons and making plans to invade China, where I would trade my horse for a camel and ride it Hong Kong before the flight back
Jesus Salgueiro — June 24th, 2011, 4:25 am
I would go to Tibet to see the prayer flags.
Ryan Maloney — June 24th, 2011, 5:33 am

Dan G — June 24th, 2011, 5:42 am
Sailing off the Dalmation Coast.
Christina Martinez — June 24th, 2011, 5:55 am
I’d go 90 miles south of Key West to see my family, who I haven’t seen since 2003… I’d practice/improve my Spanish and Salsa skills and introduce my 2yr old daughter to our homeland.
robearpres — June 24th, 2011, 6:00 am
I would take a trip to Sydney, AUS and partake in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival. I am training for the St. Jude Marathon this December in Memphis, TN, and I want to be able to feed my runner’s high addiction.
Tom Meitner — June 24th, 2011, 6:02 am
Thanks for the giveaway, Tim (and PunchTab!)!
My wife and I are planning to tour Europe in October of 2012 as our last official big-time vacation with just the two of us before we start having kids. We would most definitely take that voucher and use it to help pay for that dream trip!
Lara — June 24th, 2011, 6:16 am
Thanks Tim!
If (or should I say when?!) I win the travelocity voucher I’ll fly to Costa Rica for some surfing and snorkeling fun or take a Caribbean holiday for the same.
Lara
Len Williams — June 24th, 2011, 6:29 am
I’d go Black Marlin Fishing in South America.
Aylon — June 24th, 2011, 6:29 am
Thanks for the opportunity Tim!
I am planning a yearlong cross-hemisphere trip between undergrad and law school, in the spirit of vagabonding, and this would definitely help out if I win.
Thanks again!
Carter B — June 24th, 2011, 6:33 am
I have a long laundry list of places I want to go, but if I had to pick the next one on my list it would be Israel (below that is Thailand, India, and Jamaica).
Carter B — June 24th, 2011, 6:38 am
Oh, and for activities, we would definitely go sight seeing and do the touristy stuff. I would probably try to sneak in some networking while I’m there (Israel is known as the “Startup Nation” and I’m working on getting a tech startup going)!
Thomas Moviel — June 24th, 2011, 6:40 am
I plan on going hiking and exploring in Iceland.
Maxwell — June 24th, 2011, 6:43 am
Hey Tim,
I’m a student working in Haiti for the summer. I would use the $1,000 to travel to London to surprise my girlfriend (who is living there temporarily) for a lil R&R when I get back home in August. Then I would make a bomb youtube video hyping you and travelocity for hooking me up!
-Max
Andy L — June 24th, 2011, 6:44 am
I’d go to Argentina. Great mix of the big city in BA and the raw beauty of regions like Patagonia.
Daniel Hagan — June 24th, 2011, 6:46 am
I’ll take my fiance to Ireland and explore my family’s homeland!
Todd Banks — June 24th, 2011, 6:48 am
BELIZE!
I HAVE A COUSIN I’VE NEVER MET (long story) WHOM I’M FRIENDS WITH ON FACEBOOK AND SHE IS STARTING UP A SPIRITUAL/ECO COMMUNITY THERE; I’D LIKE TO MEET HER AND HELP!
EXPLORING THE MAYAN RUINS, TREKKING THROUGH THE JUNGLE, MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND USING MY BARE HANDS TO HELP BUILD SOMEONE’S DREAM… SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO ME!

DD — June 24th, 2011, 7:16 am
I’d go to Greece to finally meet my childhood penpal, with whom I recently reconnected on Facebook.
Dodie Jacobi — June 24th, 2011, 7:16 am
Hmmm. Liked and tweeted, but not getting credit for it; can you help me!
Ranjith — June 24th, 2011, 8:32 am

Zainab Zaki — June 24th, 2011, 7:17 am

My boyfriend and I will be using the Travelocity voucher to fly to California and take the drive up Pacific Coast highway, capturing gorgeous pictures all along the way. It’s something we’ve always wanted to do, so I hope we’ll get the opportunity from you!
Kristi Bonner — June 24th, 2011, 7:23 am
If you win where will you go and what will you do there?
I would travel to Japan – I have dreamed many times of flying over Tokyo, seeing the city from out of the airplane, and crying tears of joy.
I have always loved Japan, Japanese Culture, and it’s language. Deep down in a way I could never explain. I have always dreamed of travelling there to see the country and the temples and hopefully discover the connection I feel I have with it.
I would meet people, speak as much with people as I can and learn about their lives. I would hope to find a way to connect what I do and love with people there in some way. Maybe I would find a way to help others in a way I don’t know how yet.
Best of luck to all,
Kristi
Cameron Deutschendorf — June 24th, 2011, 7:24 am
I’ve never been to New York City, so that’s pretty high on my list of places to go.
If I was lucky enough to win this thing, I’d definitely have to fully embrace what it means to be a tourist and take in ALL of NYC : )
Steve Latronica — June 24th, 2011, 7:30 am
I would use the voucher to take a trip to St. Thomas where I am interested in re-locating to and changing my life drastically!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
Marina — June 24th, 2011, 7:30 am
I would visit one of my closest friends that I met on my last random last minute trip/ adventure. She lives in Malta. Either meet in Malta or meet in Italy. She is amazing and living across an ocean when we don’t make much money means we won’t see each other very often.
David Harwood — June 24th, 2011, 7:31 am
I’d go to Hawaii and chill on the beach. Get completely off the grid and relax with the wife.
jose — June 24th, 2011, 7:31 am

Shonda H — June 24th, 2011, 7:46 am

Lauren Guidroz — June 24th, 2011, 7:47 am

Roque — June 24th, 2011, 7:48 am

brian — June 24th, 2011, 7:48 am

Jim Mackay — June 24th, 2011, 7:48 am
In September, I am heading to Iceland for what we call ‘The second annual bachelor party’ for a friend. Last year we did Oktoberfest in Munich.
In Iceland, I am planning on enjoying Reykjavik for a few days then heading into the interior – by mountain bike.
Brandina Vines — June 24th, 2011, 7:50 am
I would go to the Philippines and visit a friend of mine who has been working over there for the past year. Been promising to go before he returns home next fall….so this would be all kinds of awesome!
Jennifer Jasiczek — June 24th, 2011, 7:51 am
Awesome giveaway. Congrats to the Kimono winners – I’m so jealous!
If I won the giveaway I would use the travel voucher to send my husband home to Thailand to visit his very old grandmother. He was born there. Left in 1977, only been back twice and needs to see the rest of his family, especially his grandmother who raised him for the first 7 yrs of his life. Good luck to everyone entering. I love punchtab!
Daniela D. — June 24th, 2011, 7:51 am
Not exactly sure where I would go… possibly Australia. Maybe somewhere in Europe. I want to take a vacation away from the US and experience somewhere I never have before so I can have the time of my life and take a million pictures.
dvb — June 24th, 2011, 7:53 am
i would try to go to as many different places as possible and couch surf so i could spend it all on flights.
Michele — June 24th, 2011, 7:59 am
I would love to go to Australia and New Zealand. I would snorkle the Great Barrier Reef and run the rapids in NZ. This has been a hope of mine for years!!
Thanks Tim for the opportunity and your book 4HB.
eric m. — June 24th, 2011, 8:00 am
hi Tim– cool giveaway. If I win, I’d put the $1k voucher towards a romantic weekend with my boyfriend in the South Pacific… as for what I’d do, well, I’ll leave that to your imagination
Anni S. — June 24th, 2011, 8:01 am
I would use it to help get my parents on a vacation to either Cape Cod or Cape May – they’ve both been unbelievably stressed out, and really deserve a getaway.
Grant Hartman — June 24th, 2011, 8:03 am
I’d go to France and visit the beaches of Normandy.
Rocco Chappie — June 24th, 2011, 8:03 am

Daniel — June 24th, 2011, 8:07 am

Gerry Green — June 24th, 2011, 8:09 am
I would go to New Zealand… Completing one of my “dreamlines” to see one of the most beautiful places on earth….
Paula R — June 24th, 2011, 8:10 am
Hmmm…where to go? Would definitely want to go somewhere warm (but not too hot like it is here in Texas – 100+). Maybe to one of the adventure tours. River rafting tour would be awesome. Someplace I haven’t been, doing something I’ve never done before.
Jen — June 24th, 2011, 8:14 am
I will go to Medellin, Colombia, and to Uruguay. Plan to do an intensive spanish course and look for a new place to live!

Lauren Seymour — June 24th, 2011, 8:17 am

Mike — June 24th, 2011, 8:17 am
I’d take my wife somewhere far west of the Mississippi. Either LA, the Pacific Northwest or Hawaii depending on our mood.
Andrew — June 24th, 2011, 8:18 am

Jonathan K — June 24th, 2011, 8:25 am
Head to Greece and single-handedly boost the Greek economy by eating as much lamb, fish, cheese, and greek pastries as possible! Also maybe find Alexander the Greats tomb while I am there ; )
CATHY — June 24th, 2011, 8:28 am
So many places to go in this world, so that’s hard, either use it towards a trip to go back to England to see my family and eat all the foods I miss. Or use it towards my Vegas trip in Feb!! Which would free up cash so that we could pay for one other family members ticket to go with us!
Ivor Lewis — June 24th, 2011, 8:30 am
Thanks for letting us know that the rest of the world is excluded. If you had put that in the header, I wouldn’t have needed to open it.
I could have slogged on learning about: SEOs and affiliates, and how to get my blog started on a cheapskate budget and make it appear high-end; and how to outsource all this stuff and give the impression that I know what I’m talking about.
Well, I suppose I’d better get going then. I’ve got loads of work to do. Thanks, the rest of the world loves your stuff.
Tara — June 24th, 2011, 8:31 am
I would go to the Andalucia region of Spain and then head to Morocco. Sherry and tasty eats!
Aimee — June 24th, 2011, 8:32 am
To Antarctica:
The last wilderness. Serenely frozen yet a maelstrom of storms. Buried Atlantis? The cold and white twists reality, morphing size, distance, shape and horizon. A rock looks like a faraway mountain. Pilots fly upside down without realizing it! Mummified animals look recently dead but are thousands of years old! A compass doesn’t know where to point and time stands still. What a glorious change from our over-scheduled lives.
I am a trekker off the beaten track. This would be a redefinition of reality, and a step to living my 4HWW life.
Pauly Dalfonso — June 24th, 2011, 8:34 am
I would go to Multiple destinations in Asia (Thailand, Bali, Phillipines, Guam, Grajagan, Ubud…..ya know tropical places with amazing things to see). I would not have any plans. My life is structured enough. I just want to go where the world takes me and make it a point to learn a local custom every place I go.
Lukas Thao — June 24th, 2011, 8:37 am
July 4th is around the corner, I would visit our nations capital. while I am at it, swing by and see lady liberty.

Take care,
Dustin
Sheila — June 24th, 2011, 8:41 am
Darn, I wish I would have found out about PunchTab a few weeks ago! I could have definitely used their help with a giveaway we’re putting on right now. I searched for a giveaway management program and the only thing I could find was Wildfire and wasn’t really impressed with what they had to offer. Noted for future reference!
Congrats to Sheila and Jacqueline!
Off to enter the giveaway…!
Sheila McCarthy — June 28th, 2011, 11:56 am

Amisha — June 24th, 2011, 8:53 am
I would take my husband and new baby and travel to Italy for a month, stay in the beautiful historic cities there, drink wine, eat gelato, get to know the people and speak only italiano the entire time.
Trevor — June 24th, 2011, 8:57 am
I’d use the Travelocity credit toward buying a multi-leg airline ticket, starting in China to practice Chinese and then heading west through Central Asia along the old Silk Road.
Bryan — June 24th, 2011, 9:01 am
I’m a professional chef working for a private family. I have never been to Europe and have the month of August off. I would love to travel through 3 countries, preferably spain, france and italy. Toledo spain is of great interest in particular for their knife and sword craftsman. Of course my main focus would be eating my way through each country.
thanks!
-B
Andrew "Mullet" Bryant — June 24th, 2011, 9:09 am
I will go to Kyoto Japan and watch the cherry blossoms.
Jesse — June 24th, 2011, 9:15 am

Sheila — June 24th, 2011, 9:18 am
I’d take my husband and visit our friends in Germany (who we keep telling we’re going to visit really soon) and go with them to Oktoberfest!
Ian Cable — June 24th, 2011, 9:18 am
I’d take a few days in San Fransisco: try and do some mobility work with Kelly Starrett and the good folks at CFSF, visit a couple of old friends, take a zeppelin cruise, check out the Palace of Fine Arts and generally soak it all in.
Zachary — June 24th, 2011, 9:18 am
I would go back to Florianopolis, Brazil and learn how to surf from Hans at Nexus Surt and then go back to Rio de Janeiro and actually get to jump off the mountain and go hang gliding. Bad wind conditions killed my last attempt. While there I would use your language learning techniques to take my Portuguese from conversational to 95% fluent.
Andrea B — June 24th, 2011, 9:18 am
Maui for sure! There some hiking in a bamboo forest, and sitting in the pools underneath the waterfall at Twin Falls. Makes me feel more peaceful just thinking about it…
Peter — June 24th, 2011, 9:20 am
BEWARE This is not an authorized offer and the Travelocity Voucher is not real. From Travelocity Gift Cards Team
Steve Pascarella — June 24th, 2011, 9:23 am

Matt — June 24th, 2011, 9:24 am
Definitely Venice.
Jeff D. Jenson — June 24th, 2011, 9:29 am

Shannon Burchard — June 24th, 2011, 9:30 am
I would find my way back to Turkey and travel the streets like I did as a student there.
Yvonne Kucher — June 24th, 2011, 9:38 am
Maui, my second home, for some much needed fun in the sun, sea, biking, canoeing, boogie boarding, and lots more.
John Xavier — June 24th, 2011, 9:39 am
Norway; the northern part. There I will charge boldly through frostiness and bond with long lost relatives. Also crazily chase reindeer.
Karim — June 24th, 2011, 9:44 am
If I win, I would go for a road trip in south-east asia.
Joshua Stein — June 24th, 2011, 9:45 am

I will return to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; I left my heart there with a carioca.
Francisco — June 24th, 2011, 9:55 am
I would go to the Philippines with my wife and baby girl (who have never been) to visit family, see the sights, and maybe find some new VAs.
Sharra J — June 24th, 2011, 9:55 am
I would take my 13 year old daughter on a volunteering trip. Location could be any where. It would be more about the “need” than location. Could be a children s hospital in Argentina or in a low income community in the Appalachian mountains. Spending time with her , helping others and teaching her compassion and life isn’t about your hair, make up, mtv and for God sakes, Jersey Shore. It would be a win – win. Thank you so much.
Ashley — June 24th, 2011, 9:59 am
I will go to Iceland to visit two dear friends, enjoy the nightlife, and relax in the hotsprings.
Jordan — June 24th, 2011, 10:00 am

Jon Kennedy — June 24th, 2011, 10:06 am
The Land of Chocolate, obviously! Wait… what do you mean, it’s not real? It’s Cheat Day! I thought I could go wherever I wanted?!

simon — June 24th, 2011, 10:13 am
I’ll use it to park myself in the south of France for a month for some needed r&r!
Gordon Richter — June 24th, 2011, 10:13 am
I would love to use the voucher to be able to take my sons to see some of the wonders that I have enjoyed in Costa Rica. It’s not every day you get to hike through the jungle to the base of an active volcano at night! Living an adventure instead of looking that them on flickering pixels!
Mitch — June 24th, 2011, 10:17 am
Tim-Paris, France. First time for me; return visit for my wife and stepdaughter. The latter has been pining for a second visit since returning from her 1st 3 months ago or so. Would love to make that happen for her!
Kim — June 24th, 2011, 10:20 am
After reading your book and doing some research, I really want to go to South America. Not sure exactly where yet. All over.
Justin — June 24th, 2011, 10:24 am
I’d got to Thailand or Singapore and live like a king for a couple weeks. While there, I plan on roaming the cities and trying tons of different food. Another option would be going to Spain to visit a close friend and to brush up on Spanish.
When it came down to it though, I’d got to Argentina and learn real tango, hone my Spanish, eat great food, and meet the beautiful women down there. I would consider stopping in Chile to meet the people from Start Up Chile.
Danielle — June 24th, 2011, 10:27 am
If I win I will spend a few months getting in better shape (with 4HB of course) then bike through Italy. I studied there and I’d love to return! It will be a great series for the travel blog I’m currently working on too.
Thanks for this great opportunity Tim!
Noah — June 24th, 2011, 10:29 am
I would use the money to visit places in Pennsylvania that were part of my childhood so I could go back and take pictures to use in a Childrens Book Series I am currently writing. Working on my muse!
Rebecca Dreiling — June 24th, 2011, 10:30 am
I would go to Ibiza, Barcelona & Madrid!!!
Krista — June 24th, 2011, 10:43 am

Christian Gangitano — June 24th, 2011, 10:44 am
Egypt to see the pyramids…the one thing in this world I have promised myself I will see at some point in my life…then maybe to Sicily to find my families origins…
Lara — June 24th, 2011, 10:44 am
I have no idea where I would go – I’d look for a last-minute deal to somewhere interesting that I’ve never been. I would show up with no itinerary and go exploring!
Joe — June 24th, 2011, 10:49 am
Vegas or Palm Springs, anywhere where the sun is hot and a pool is nearby.
Zane — June 24th, 2011, 10:50 am

Michael Hong — June 24th, 2011, 11:09 am
I will visit Tokyo. – I would do the typical tourist stuff. shopping. shooting photos.
Jenna — June 24th, 2011, 11:10 am
I recently fractured my foot kickboxing and haven’t been able to exercise properly for 2 months so I’d love to go anywhere on my bucket list that involves exercise and adventure (but, as per usual, won’t decide until the last minute)! Surfing in Costa Rica, snorkeling in Bali, or exploring the beauty of Belize.
I also started the Slow Carb diet this week to get rid of the bit of weight I gained while injured (today is my day off
) and would love to be able to show off my 30 day success on the beach!
Michael Hong — June 24th, 2011, 11:10 am

Skye — June 24th, 2011, 11:21 am
I’ve always wanted to check out north Africa. Ideally spend about a week traveling through Egypt, maybe take an excursion down the Nile looking at the various ruins as I go. After that, catch a quick flight over to Morocco. Do a little lounging around the sea before jumping across to Spain. Catch a soccer game in Madrid… and maybe even run with the bulls.
Jeff — June 24th, 2011, 11:22 am
I’d use the voucher to help pay for a ticket to SE Asia where I would backpack through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.
Annalis — June 24th, 2011, 11:29 am
My parents had me instead of going on their dream trip to Australia. I would take them there!
Vanessa Martinez-Williams — June 24th, 2011, 11:30 am
I’ll go to Montreal and Quebec City. My late husband spent some time in Montreal for fly training when he was in the Army. He knew how much I liked both architecture, nature and food! that would be the perfect place for me, he said. We wanted to drive up there with our travel trailer and spend a couple of weeks. We planned for years and had finally decided on going on the summer of 2009, but during the fall of 2008 he was diagnosed with ALS. By June of 2009, he had died. Going to Montreal would be both my husband’s and my dream.

Japan: climb Mt. Fuji for sunrise.
Benny — June 24th, 2011, 11:34 am
This comes at a perfect time. I’ve been in a long distance relationship with my fiance who lives in Taipei, Taiwan for 2.5 years now. We’ve been physically together for 12 months and the other 18 months or so we’ve had to be apart. Finally she will be coming later this summer on a fiance visa and we’ll get married in October!
Well after we get married we can’t leave the country cause of her visa. So we’ll have to honeymoon in the US and we thought Hawaii would be perfect. We’ve both never been.
We will definitely enjoy the beach, the blue waters, and see the beautiful sights of the many islands of Hawaii! Not having to be apart anymore is the best gift. The second best would be if we won the $1,000 voucher.
Michael Hong — June 24th, 2011, 11:38 am
Tokyo. eating ramen in shibuya.
Tony Camacho — June 24th, 2011, 11:39 am
I will jet to a couple of locations where introspection and calm reins. I realize we can only find that from within but being present where it is actually their religion would be quite restful and enlightening. Maybe come back a better person.
Michael Ray — June 24th, 2011, 11:46 am
Travel to Boston and Philadelphia and record videos at historic sites for my students and to build my educational video muse/business.
Tony — June 24th, 2011, 11:49 am
If I win, I’ll fulfill a life long dream of going to Australia and visit Sydney and Melbourne. I’ll probably couch surf for a full month, go on adventures, get lost, make random friends, network, learn how to surf, etc. I think the best plan is to not have a plan and figure it out when you get there.
PS – Thanks for turning me on to PunchTab! I’m going to try using this for my site.
Chris Kummer — June 24th, 2011, 11:54 am

Bryce McCormick — June 24th, 2011, 11:54 am
I’d use the travel voucher to thru hike the Appalachian Trail by myself. Springer Mountain Georgia all the way to Katahdin Maine! I’d take a small voice recorder to record thoughts, ideas, lyrics, and melodies to my next album that will be recorded when I get back. I think this would be an amazing exercise in solitude and simplicity.
Chris Kummer — June 24th, 2011, 11:58 am
Neat, have you read Bill Bryson’s book, “A Walk in the Woods”?
Hilary — June 24th, 2011, 11:56 am
Part of me wants to say Paris or Switzerland or Bermuda or Australia or Venice but I know that the plane tickets would eat up most of the $1000 on those.
So realistically I would probably use it for multiple shorter distance trips. Maybe go to one of the Carolina’s, Florida or Texas. Definitely try and get something in where surfing would be involved.
Christopher — June 24th, 2011, 12:02 pm
Kuau’i. Learn to surf and hike the Na’pali Coast. And be the hippie I want to be.

Matt — June 24th, 2011, 1:20 pm
I want to take my wife to Argentina. We were both asked recently where we’d go the next day if we had the money, and Argentina was her #1 choice. That surprised me! Mine, South Africa. The wife always wins… Argentina here we come!
Kim Kirkley — June 24th, 2011, 1:23 pm
I would go to Egypt to see the pyramids — a dream of my father’s that he never got to experience.
Rick A. Griffith — June 24th, 2011, 1:34 pm

Marcy — June 24th, 2011, 1:46 pm

Jeromy White — June 24th, 2011, 2:45 pm
i’d hit up Whistler for some skiing next winter.
Jeromy White — June 24th, 2011, 3:15 pm
have to ask a dumb question. can someone tell me how to add a picture to my post? i set up a Gravatar account, but still not sure how to include it on my posts?
thanks!
Sheila McCarthy — June 28th, 2011, 12:14 pm
Hi Jeremy,
Just make sure you’re using the same email address in your comment that you used when you set up your Gravatar, that’s what makes the connection.
Sean Oliver — June 24th, 2011, 3:01 pm
When I win I’m going to Japan and creating a lookbook of every sight that captures my fancy.
Brett Hagen — June 24th, 2011, 3:18 pm
I would go to the Philippines to visit some friends who moved there a while back.
Paul Wainamo — June 24th, 2011, 3:43 pm
Where will I go?
Galapagos Island and Australia.
My wife and I are newly married and expecting our first child. she has been a fishermens daughter all her life and never travelled. I, by the good graces of an Aunt who love me, have travelled a little bit around the world and fallen in love with travel.
I want to take my wife to experience the world and these two areas are the highest on our list.
We now have dear friends who we have come to know initially through facebook and many of them have ministries that minister to the needs of those who have been involved or abused through human trafficking and prostitution/drug abuse. We would love to be able to go and minister alongside them for a period of time.
Ilhan Kudeki — June 24th, 2011, 3:47 pm
I would go on a trip to Turkey and visit the places where my parents grew up.
Paul Gillespie — June 24th, 2011, 3:59 pm
While I’ve wanted to go to Russia from the first time I finished a Tom Clancy book (“Hunt for Red October”; late eighties) and would love to visit Red Square, the Kremlin, Bunker-42 and Lubyanka…I’m thinking Oktoberfest.
While Oktoberfest alone I suspect would be an absolute 2-week blast, I’d like to see some of the European countryside, as well. So I’m thinking a trip to Munich for a few days of beer, food, beer, music and beer, then hitting the train for a couple of days to let my liver recover and my mind take in a relaxing trip to Luxembourg or Paris or Zurich before flying home. Or maybe that in reverse. Itinerary: flexible.
Regardless, I’d expect to come back content with about a billion pictures, a few new stamps in the ol’ passport and a new appreciation for how beer is _supposed_ to be.
Jesse Pichardo — June 24th, 2011, 4:06 pm
If I win I’m gong to Hawaii. I’ve never been and living in California I’m running out of excuses for not having been there yet. If possible I’ll also take my 15 y/o boy who has never been anywhere.
Jamie B — June 24th, 2011, 4:36 pm
I would take my husband Carter B to visit where I used to live in Chile. On the tail end of the trip after visiting the Atacama desert, we would hop over to Peru to visit Machu Picchu and the Nazca lines. If he wins, we will be off to Israel. Either would be fantastic!
Weston — June 24th, 2011, 4:38 pm
Tim,
If I were to win this voucher I would travel to Ibiza, Spain to see Tiesto play during spring break. And also partake in the Yacht Week ( http://www.theyachtweek.com/ ) with all of my friends.

Carter Bailey — June 24th, 2011, 5:23 pm
The next location on my list is Israel. We would go see all of the ancient ruins and sights! Plus, Israel is known as the “Startup Nation,” so I’d like to sneak in some networking while I’m there! Never hurts
Zeb — June 24th, 2011, 5:30 pm
If I won I’d head over to puerto rico to visit my college buddies then over to Afghanistan, which is where I’m originally from but have never gotten to visit since we left when i was one.

I’m go scuba diving in Sipidan with turtles and sharks =)
Olivia — June 24th, 2011, 8:34 pm
I’d go to Costa Rica and earn my Yoga instructor certificate whilst learning Spanish fluently.
I would then take my knowledge to Brazil and take salsa/flamenco classes that would complement my bellydance knowledge so that I could teach women here in the US how to fully actualize their feminine power through a beautiful, integrated, and global art form. (Their business would follow, naturally.)
I mean, could she balance tequila shots on each buttock while doing arm undulations? Teach them to be free of the need for a man’s undivided attention and you have given them the gift of personal autonomy.
Dale — June 24th, 2011, 8:45 pm
Hosteling in Europe with my daughter for her Sr year grad gift.
Alexander Grgurich — June 24th, 2011, 9:41 pm

Lyna Tran — June 24th, 2011, 9:48 pm
I recently picked up boxing and would like to learn different styles of fighting while diving into a completely different culture. Muay Thai in Thailand comes to mind. To pick up lessons on a beach shore would be ideal. But not to forget to check emails once a week and disconnecting your cell phone.
Lyna
Emily — June 24th, 2011, 10:09 pm

If I win, I’m going to Bali, Indonesia. I’m going to meet up with my friend Dan from TMBA, do some freework for him in exchange for the business knowledge I would gain watching how he operates, and create a floating restaurant off of the popular Bali beaches for expats and locals alike (anlong side pursuing other online businesses).
and if I don’t win you ask?
well I’ll just have to carve my own way there xD

My brand new (well, she’s been around for a few years, so *she’s* not new) wife and I will use this $1,000 for a honeymoon. In Singapore.
We realize the $1,000 won’t get us from LA to Singapore including lodging and food, but we would kick in some of the money received as wedding gifts to make this an awesome adventure. Thanks Tim!

I’ll go to Vegas and marry my girlfirend.
Laura Wood — June 25th, 2011, 1:36 pm
I would go to Indonesia, besides all of the beautiful things, and cultural experiences, I would like to use my time there to help others, perhaps by teaching or helping the sick or disabled. I hoped to one day join the Peace Corps, but I believe I would like to do it on my own, and spread the love and help in my own way.
Sheila — June 25th, 2011, 1:38 pm

Kelly Saponaro — June 25th, 2011, 4:19 pm
I would love to go to Europe. I have only been off the East Coast once in my entire life so while I would be pretty game to go anywhere, i have always wanted to go to Italy. It has always seemed like such a far fetched idea to me though, but to experience the lifestyle there would be amazing!
Erik Truby — June 25th, 2011, 4:49 pm
I’d go to Ireland, but as to why, I’m hoping to find out while I’m there.
Diego — June 25th, 2011, 5:15 pm

Grove — June 25th, 2011, 10:05 pm
I would take my wife on a surprise trip to Rome to celebrate our 11th anniversary and the discovery of her becoming pregnant – mini-retirement style. Timeless carelessness and a chance to renew the spirit!
Otherwise – Toronto to both join in a Systema Russian Martial Arts Seminar! We both love that too and what fun!
StatVoid — June 25th, 2011, 10:55 pm
I would use it as an opportunity to finally learn how to surf. While I live 20 minutes from the ocean where I live, I want to go someplace known, particularly west coast or Hawaii or wherever, for it’s surf culture and be totally immersed in it and cap it off by getting lessons.
Since I am able to remote work, if I *had to*, I’d be able to get in some work between surf lessons and, possibly, dance lessons. However, the less I must do, and the more I want to do, the better!
I would also use the voucher when I can use it as a reward for losing 100lbs*. While I’m not there yet, I have I figure 6-7 months until I reach that goal thanks to the 4HB…which should give me plenty of time to figure out exactly what else I’d like to do while I’m surrounded by surf culture.
*I was once at my ideal weight after losing 100lbs 7 years ago, gained it all back in the past 2 years. Pre-4HB and pre-4HWW, now I’ve got my bearings in order and carving the life I want, not the life I’d haphazardly fallen into.

Having been all over the world (went to Bali in March), I want to appreciate places in the US that I have neglected. This California Girl would get in touch with her Southern roots and expose her New York City born and raised husband to a side of the USA he has never experienced.
I would go to Memphis, Tenn see the National Civil Rights museum. Then I would take a train or a MIssissippi riverboat cruise to New Orleans. If time permits, I would visit Savannah Georgia and Tybee Island. Each destination offers a different side of Southern living (and southern cuisine)

Hi Tim
A friend mentioned your book and I have read about half way and gut forced to do something out of my confort zone and repeat a message by not what or how or why but now. Normally not crazy, hah hah!!!
Cheers Kym Rudolph
MESSAGE:
At 31 years old, TED perceives he IS the incredible hulk AGAIN, facing his childhood BULLYING fear.
“Not what you do but how YOU do it?”
FEAR is ONLY perceived in YOUR MIND, but unfortunately can be misdirected by bully’s ego.
1 TIM was actually given against all odds his being, BORN premature and lived, that’s INCREDIBLE!

I’d like to go see Venice before it sinks/disappears completely!

I’d go to Seoul, Korea. Since I’m in Hong Kong right now, it won’t be too expensive, so with the money left over I’d make another trip to a different part of Asia during winter break. (I go to school in LA)
Why? Well my significant other will be in Korea all next year for a job, heh. If I get this money then for winter break I’d like to travel with her somewhere else in Asia. That’s specifically why Korea though, otherwise: obviously to be a tourist! I managed to travel Thailand and Hong Kong this summer, I’d love to see the rest of Asia too!

My dream vacation will be hawaii with my wife for the honeymoon we never get to go and rekindle back our love for each other. Just hold her hand to walk the beach and relax in each other arms watching the sunset with the ocean breeze will be just perfect

I would take my wife to Alaska for our Ten Year anniversary which was last year… but who’s counting? We were fortunate enough to see Alaska 4 years ago, but it was between seasons. Would love to see it in the summer. Thanks, it felt good just to think and write about. Gives me chills!!
Allison Shahan — June 27th, 2011, 7:43 am
That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day. I would love to see Alaska in the summertime, with you!
