Back in 2009 while traveling in Switzerland, I spent my last night at the Radisson Blu in Zurich before catching a flight back to the United States the next morning. I remember being shocked by how posh the property was, particularly for an airport hotel. I spent the whole evening with my friend Kate at the Angel’s Wine Tower Bar, which was exactly as it sounded: “Heavenly” bartenders dressed in all white floated high above the ground on suspension cables and retrieved wine among the 400-bottle collection that patrons ordered. It was definitely a cool concept.

In 2013, I would like to go to New York City, but with my income it’s a dream that will have to wait a few years. Someday, though. =)

I’m actually hoping for a summer trip to Denver so that the Modern Love Machine and I can do a little brewery tour and maybe take some day trips to hike in the mountains. Of course, I wouldn’t complain about a winter trip and an Epic Pass to go with

Short answer everywhere. Long answer I’m really hoping I can go to Newfoundland next year (I’ve never been and have always wanted to go there), but I know there are no Radisson or Radisson Blu Hotels in Newfoundland. There are however some Radisson hotels in the province of Quebec (one in Montreal and one in Quebec City) and Quebec is a a province that, like Newfoundland, I’ve always wanted to visit but never have. If I won I’d flip a coin to decide between whether to use the stay in Montreal or Quebec City, but I’d visit both cities anyways.

I’ve always wanted to spend more time in Vancouver! We usually fly through it on our way from London to visit my family in Portland, Oregon, but it looks so beautiful – I want to make more time to explore it instead of just snarfing Tim Horton’s at the airport.

Three of my closest friends from England will be joining my boyfriend and I on a road trip around North America in the summer. We’ll mostly be camping, staying in motels and couch surfing at friends who met from our previous travels so it’d be great to treat ourselves to a little luxury after months of backpacking in South America! Thanks for such a great giveaway xx
