The race for the most votes in the Best Travel Job Ever has stepped up a few notches with some amazing entries. I’ve moved into 3rd place with Jason still at my heels, but I’m hoping to hang on till the end with a medal finish.
It’s amazing how this competition has taken over my life. Of course I really want the opportunity to travel and document my experiences with the world, so it’s important for me to reach out in as many ways as possible to get support and awareness and increase my daily votes. In doing this, I have had such a blast taking photos, making new videos, meeting new people AND reconnecting with old travelling buddies.
It’s made me think a little more about those folks that live on the other side of the world, but still share memories with me. As a traveller, it’s difficult to keep connections with everybody you meet-life is busy where ever you are. But simply knowing that somebody else brings up the same image of treking the Inca Trail or hears the same laughter from a party in the desert, makes me a happy traveller. These images and connections also spark me to make more. Which is why I want to win the Best Travel Job Ever!
So if you’ve been voting daily already-thank you 10x over. If you voted once and then forgot-I’M HERE TO REMIND YOU!! I have only 6 days to hold onto one of the top three spots. I need 100+ votes per day to do this, and right now I’m averaging about 80 per day. Please return to Fiona’s Best Travel Job Ever ,login with your email and password and then click to vote! You can vote daily till the 30th pretty please and thank you!
I’ve also added a couple of additional support videos; view them here, on facebook, or on youtube. And please add your comments beneath my application video on the main Best Travel Job Ever site-I’d like the judges to see your support there too!
Thanks again everyone,
super duper hugs to y’all!

The Best Travel Job Ever-Part 2.5!
Filed under Vancouver Life | Leave a Comment
When I first started my travel blogs here and as ‘coffeecat’ I didn’t include any videos, it was all about developing the words and simply adding photos. And now? I’ve got the video travel bug. I find myself furiously scribbling into my notebook throughout the day and night, so that I don’t forget ideas or images that float across my mind. Examples are all over the board:
-capture the new magnolia flowers in Vancouver
-tell them about that classic joke from Laos
-take them snowshoeing while Vancouver actually has some amazing snow
-somehow use the atomic fart application from my phone
So I’m continuing to learn how it’s all done, hence BTJE Posting 2.5….I couldn’t seem to write my own summary having used vodpod to transfer the video to this site (any tips anyone?)
In a way, I look forward to when the competition is over as maybe I won’t be so pre-occupied. But in all honesty, I wouldn’t trade in this buzz for anything! With that being said, I have a new video to support my application…and I still need your votes! So watch the video in the previous posting, hopefully laugh as much as I did, and then go to Best Travel Job Ever to cast your daily vote. Spread the word and hopefully, with your efforts and my efforts, I actually get chosen for the Best Travel Job Ever!
Thanks again : D
