My Destination’s Biggest Baddest Bucket List contest is well under way. With 2364 votes,
I’m currently in second place, but I’m hopeful. I realize that the top five with the most votes go on to the next round but I’m not satisfied with second place. Does that fit with my philosophy the more unrealistic I am with my dreams and goals the more I’m able to achieve? I don’t think so! Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I want to live. This contest will change my life in ways that I didn’t even imagine possible. It’s the ultimate contest in dreaming.
Here’s the deal:
I can win a six month, six continent, all expenses paid trip; oh and don’t forget the $50,000 when I get back! Travel and adventure encompass my life. It is as much a part of me as family and friends. I was born for this competition. You have been following my adventures and many of you have become like family. Now, I need your great social media skills at their finest.
You can find my entry here: http://www.mydestination.com/users/lesley/bbb#tab
I can win with your help. I need people to like it on Facebook, Tweet it, Google +1 it,
Stumble it, and pin it on Pinterest. Each click counts as a new vote. I’ve shared it with my community and they’ve responded with great enthusiasm. I recently had an interview with the Cape Breton Post and The Halifax Herald. This is the Cape Breton Post interview; watch for The Halifax Herald interview to appear soon.
“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.”

I follow this amazing blogger and though I really wish I could have this experience for myself, except 4 small children would not allow me to go AWOL for 6 months, and the $$$ would be FANTASTIC, it just isn’t realistic for my situation, soooo…please help this amazing woman, mother, wife and “blogger-friend” live her bucket list! xx

Good luck! I love travelling as well, hence my new blog (http://www.exploringthearth.com) about my recent travels and natural science. I would love to apply as well but I’m starting an exciting new academic stint at university so I’ll have to pass on this contest. Hope you get it though, would be wicked
Also, thanks for liking my posts, do you have any suggestions for someone who is new and just starting to build an audience for their blog? Cheers!

I went by and voted…Facebook, Twitter, and G+, but it looked like it only gave me one vote, not three. I refreshed the page and the count only went up by one.
Good Luck!!!

Regardless, I appreciate your support. 3 votes are amazing! You rock!
Have a great day,
