Travel Yourself is happy to announce it’s first ever giveaway! Just like Oprah, Cailin has many favorite things and wants to share them with you too! However Cailin doesn’t have billions of dollars like Oprah does to share with everyone. :(
One of Cailin’s favorite things is the Kodak Playsport video camera that she bought last May and has since then filmed her Copenhagen, Newfoundland, New York, Tidal Bore Rafting, and Nova Scotia – Authentic Seacoast videos on and more. Now you have the chance of winning one so you can share your videos too with family, friends and the world! The lovely people at Kodak has given Travel Yourself one Kodak Playsport Camera to give away! Wooooooooooooooooooo!
Info about the Playsport from Kodak:
You can count on the Kodak PlaySport Video Camera to capture all your adventurous activities whether on land or water.
Designed for the active and adrenaline junkies, the Kodak PlaySport Video Camera is rugged, waterproof and compact allowing you to easily capture and share your favourite vacation moments. Whatever your activity, the Kodak PlaySport can follow you underwater up to 3m or capture a bumpy bike ride with built-in image stabilization and record it all in full 1080p HD.
Why stop there – share your HD videos on FACBOOK, YouTube and TWITTER sites with ease. Built-in software and USB cable make editing, uploading and sending e-mails simple.
From the waves, to the slopes, to the mud-soaked trails, this video camera is made for extremes!
Cailin loves this camera because it is waterproof, extremely durable, light weight, takes pretty good photos and its compact size. Perfect to stick in your pocket or throw in your purse. You probably won’t be making any Oscar winning films with this camera (but you never know!) however it is a great one to take on the road with you.
The winner will also receive 12 packs of Dentyne Gum!

December 6, 2010 at 9:29 amMy favorite thing would be playing pond hockey on lake Luis for hours and hours. The mind finally feels at peace…
Tied in first is teaching people how to ice skate, to teach someone a talent is a great feeling.. But not as good as pond hockey.
when I think about it, I would have to say my ice skates, If I did not have them I would not be able to enjoy my other favorite things,..
This was a lot more difficult then i thought.

December 5, 2010 at 9:56 pmI’ve been working on video and would like to add more of it to my blog. Your favorite things would definitely help me do that!
My favorite things is a lightweight Eagle Creek day pack that folds into itself. It’s so small and I take it every time I travel!

December 5, 2010 at 7:42 pmMy favorite thing is the feeling you get when you finally collect your baggage, walk out the airport and think “where is the train station?!” arriving in a new destination is the best!
I would use the camera to add videos to my blog. Photos are great, but I know my mum misses my voice while I’m away so vlogging would be great!

December 5, 2010 at 2:38 pmFavorite thing? Uh, duh, traveling. Although if I win this, maybe the camera would trump that. Jury is still out.

December 5, 2010 at 2:22 pmMy favourite thing is having an experience. Although I love to have new experiences in far off places, the beautiful thing is you can, and should, collect a new experience each and every day. :)

December 5, 2010 at 2:21 pmMy favourite thing would be traveling. Nothing beats the feeling you get as the plane takes off taking you somewhere away from your everyday life with new people to speak to and new places to explore.
I’d like to win the Playsport and X-shot because not only were they fun to play with at WTM with you, but it would give me a chance to learn some new skills which are both adaptable to my Uni studies and my blog! ^_^

December 3, 2010 at 1:55 pmMy favorite thing? Information. I’m terribly curious, which is why I love to travel. The pursuit of new knowledge and experiences? amazing!
