Letâs face it, itâs been a WHILE since we stepped off that plane, warm overseas-air blowing our hair back, catwalking down that runway⌠but soon enough, weâll be back! Here at DAYMADE, weâre already putting plans in motion with our fab travel prize winners, so they can get jetsetting as soon as Bo-Jo says hell yeah!
We sat down (via email â social distancing is still a thing, please!) with some of our wonderful winners to delve into their upcoming holiday deets, so read on for our little Q&A!
Abbi (@abbeth_), 24, from Portsmouth, won a ÂŁ1,000 LuckyTrip gift card!
Q: You open up your emails, see that youâve won a fab prizeâŚwhatâs your reaction?!
âI couldn't believe it when I won - I never win anything!â
Q: Youâre the brand-new owner of a ÂŁ1,000 LuckyTrip gift card! SoâŚwhere you gonna go?
âWe've seen some amazing options in Mexico, Croatia, Tenerife and Africa so we're currently narrowing it down - all very different as you can imagine!â
Q: What are you most looking forward to on your trip? Any special activities that you just canât wait for?
ââŚelongating our summer by getting some winter sun is just the perfect way to relax and unwind. Cocktails by the pool and water sports just sounds like the perfect remedyâ
Q: Whatâs your fave holiday or travel memory?
âI have so many favourite holiday memories it's difficult to choose - my friends and I rented a villa in Tenerife a few years ago which was amazing with all the bars and Siam Park - we had the best time! Quad Biking in Turkey with my boyfriend also really stands out in my memories, the views were lovely and it was just so fun.â
Q: Is there anything youâd like to share with our readers?
âAbsolutely just go for it! I actually entered the draw as a one off 4 hours before the draw took place, so don't think for a second you don't have a chance!â
Alex (@aadams2271), 25, from Ipswich, won a ÂŁ2,000 holiday to Bali or Greece!
Q: How did you react to finding out you won a ÂŁ2,500 prize?
âI actually got the email with the results on my way home from a Scottish camping trip! We were freaking out! We must have looked a couple of chaotic frenzy of excitement, we then spent bought some ice creams to enjoy while we spent the next half an hour parked at the station looking through the possible prizes we could choose from.â
Q: What are you most excited about on your getaway?
âIâve been lucky enough to travel a lot in recent years, I always look forward to throwing myself into the culture, food, and people. A bonus for Bali is all the potential unexplored beauty, I already have various points to explore save on google maps, including Tegenungan waterfall, the Ubud rice fields and Mt Baturâ
Q: What are your fave travel memories?
âThere are literally so many⌠I darenât say itâs my favourite but the first that comes to mind is during my time spent on a conservation project on the island of Beqa (off the coast of Fijiâs main island). I think the best travel memories are mostly defined by the people we meet.â
Q: Fancy sharing anything with our future players/readers?
âJust try it out, you can win experiences and gain memories, which in my opinion is far better than the typical lottery-style prize of money. The money is going to a good cause and the chances of winning cool prizes is so high compared to other competitions so itâs a win-win!â
Sam from London, won a ÂŁ500 LuckyTrip holiday to Malta!
Q: How did you react when you saw that you won a ÂŁ500 travel prize?
âSurprised and shocked! I donât recall ever winning anything of note, and Iâd only entered the draw on a bit of a whim, so I really wasnât expecting to get an email saying Iâve won a ÂŁ500 prize a couple of hours later... but after the last year it was an amazing feeling!â
Q: What made you decide Malta was *the one*?
âMy mum and dad went there before I was born and had a brilliant time, so I had a glowing reference. It is a place Iâve always been curious about visiting and is small enough that 3 nights would feel like a nice amount of time to spend there. And of course, Mediterranean weather!â
Q: Whatâs your plan once you touchdown in sunny Malta?
âThe first hotel looks unreal so canât wait to spend some time (and money) in the pool and beach bar. The cruise will be lots of fun and insightful, and generally just getting away and seeing something different will be the best part!â
Q: Fave holiday or travel memory?
âAhhh so many! My last big adventure was spending over a year travelling around Australia and Asia from 2018-2019, which was a really maturing experience as I went alone and was so rewarding. Some of the places I visited, experiences I had and people I met - incredible!â
Q: Anything else youâd like to add?
âFor a few quid, why not have a go? Itâs worth it when you win a fab prize for the price of a coffee!â
Klaire from Blandford Forum, won a ÂŁ1,000 LuckyTrip holiday to Zakynthos, Greece!
Q: What was your reaction to finding out you won an amazing holiday for two?
âIâm afraid my reactions were very clichĂŠ and I thought it was probably a scam! I also couldnât believe Iâd won as I never win anything (possibly because I never enter anything!)â
Q: What are you most looking forward to doing once you step off that plane?
âIt looks so beautiful. I love Greek food and Iâm usually swayed by a location based on its culinary reputation so Iâm looking forward to this most. But as a single mum with two young, boisterous girls I am soooo looking forward to enjoying some sun, in peace, with my friend.â
Q: What holiday memory has you reminiscing the good olâ travel times?
âA city break to Rome is one of my favourite holiday memories. A beautiful city with amazing history and atmosphere, based entirely around the food again of courseâ
Q: Anything youâd like to share?
âI literally saw this competition whilst flicking through Instagram, it helps plant a tree which was my main motive, and it was the night before the competition closed, so I decided to enter on a whim. And I won! It is well worth entering.â
