Win a free trip to Korea and more with TO:UR Imagination

Whether you’re a Kdrama/Kpop fan who’s been dying to go to Korea or a travel junkie who has the Land of the Morning Calm as one of her top destinations, this is your chance to make that dream of yours come true!

Organized by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and in line with Korea's new slogan 'Imagine Your Korea', TO:UR Imagination is a campaign that encourages travelers to visit Korea and promote it as an international travel destination among travelers around the world. It includes 2 online events which gives everyone a chance to win a free trip to South Korea for 2, as well as other amazing prizes. (And did I mention that Bigbang is promoting this campaign? :))

The 2 events under the campaign are as follows:

EVENT 1: Make your To:ur Imagination Plan

Some important details that I got from the Terms & Conditions of the event:

• Travel schedule shall be determined by ‘KTO’, and if a winner fails to match to the schedule, his/her prize may be cancelled.
• If you want to stay in Korea for more than 4 days guaranteed by ‘KTO’, you must submit your departure schedule beforehand, and ‘KTO’ does not have any legal accountability during your extended stay. 
• If the country of the winners and their companion requires visa in order to visit Korea, they themselves must be issued a visa, and in this case ‘KTO’ do not provide visa issuance fees, guarantee and any other expenses. 
• When the winner is a minor, he/she can be accompanied with an adult. When the adult is not his/her parent, the written consent of his/her parent to the trip to Korea is required.

EVENT 2: Share the To:ur Imagination Story

To add to the excitement, KTO will also be giving away these amazing prizes when you help them promote their campaign (and Korean culture in general) further by sharing the videos of their 4 celebrity ambassadors, who were invited to explore the various tourism spots in Korea, and experience Korean culture at its best.

The said celebrity ambassadors came from different parts of the world and include Michelle Phan, a Youtube Star in the U.S.; Kenichi Ebina, winner of America’s Got Talent 2013; Mario Maurer, a Thai movie star; and Jiang Xin, a Chinese Drama Star. They were assigned to promote Korea’s K-Beauty & Romantic Getaways, K-Dance Performances, K-Trend Tour, and K-Drama Tour respectively.

How to apply:

Share the videos of those 4 celebrities on your SNS channels. And leave the URL of your SNS post in the comment box, which you can find below the videos @ www.tourimagination.com .

This is the comment box where you should put the URL of your SNS post

Back to my first love

I just want to blog again... :)
Growing up, I've always loved to write and to share my thoughts and feelings through pen and paper. It's the most liberating feeling to me, and I miss it.
I've tried blogging many times before. I've put up personal blogs, and fan blogs too...but well, due to my ever hectic schedule and intermittent enthusiasm, I sadly ended up abandoning most of them...
But we can always start anew right? And I hope I'm here to blog for good.
I want this blog to be the reminder of everything happy, cool, wonderful, insane, amazing, sassy, and sublime in my life.
I want to be able to share what I can, and learn what I can from others too.
I just want to go back to the things I love doing and enjoy my life the best way I can.
Hope I'll be able to impart something useful to you! :)

xoxo
