Congratulations to the winners!

Contest to win a $1000 travel voucher from MapVivo.com and Roundtheworldflights for the most inspirational travel journal has closed and the panel of judges have picked the winner.

Dmitry Yuskovets published an astonishing MapVivo journal detailing a 14 month long round the world journey that almost made us pack our bags and go. His mapvivo journal entitled “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe 2008-2009″ won the hearts and lit up travel fantasies of our judges. We’re really happy to send him the $1000 travel voucher from roundtheworldflights.com for his next trip.

As Dmitry himself wrote in the summary of his journey: “14 months have passed. 5 continents, countless towns, myriad amazing encounters, dozens of friends for life are now in my luggage. And - as it usually happens, a totally different person has returned from the journey.” We hope his next round the world journey will be as fascinating and life changing as this one!
