done……..hope i win……
I would love to win this trip. The only vacation I have taken was not too far from my home. I have never ever been out of the country. And how wonderful is it to be able to have 4 people go? I still can’t believe this trip is being offered by MakeUseOf along with zozi, (the best place to find things to do locally and around the world) to one lucky person. I hope who ever wins is someone who truly appreciates it and has never seen the anything outside of their own town. Thank you, MakeUseOf and zozi for offering to all of us a chance of a lifetime. This is just so awesome!
I have a feeling that I am gonna win this
great opportunity to see a unique destination!
I could’nt even take my gorgeous wife for a honeymoon.. n it’s been 5 wonderful years.. n she’s never said a word.. come on guys, it HAS to be us.. n oh! my wifey loves the kiwi fruit.. so see, it’s meant to be for us..
Great opportunity. I haven’t been to New Zealand since 1980 and it is a beautiful, beautiful place.
As an Elf, I obviously need to return to my Homeland (thinking Lord of the Rings here…. )… send meeeeeeeeeeee – and the blessings of all elves will be upon you…
Now that’s funny
Only problem is the elves were leaving Middle Earth, so you would be going to the wrong place.
This is quite true Bilbo….. However, I have been entrusted with newly evolved Elven secrets, to bring BACK to humanity – an aid to their progression to the next step….hence the importance of my Return…:)
I so wish I wasn’t a MakeUseOf employee right now. Good luck to the rest of you!
Same here, Simon!
Ditto. Can we quit for a week
???
Good luck for everyone who enter’s
i wish i was a member of MakeUseOf..
It’d be great to go on a honeymoon finally!

I have to believe that contests like these are possible…. I’ve always heard about New Zealand wine country. A friend of mine told me a sweet fact… New Zealand is the first place to see the sunrise.

I’ve been out of my great state twice and not very far, been to Canada many times but only because going to Canada is like going across town (I live on the border) I have wanted to go to New Zealand since before my 8 year old son was born it is a beautiful country. Upgraded my camera equipment/photo software in the last year I would be a snap happy, blogging fool about this trip. Good luck to all the entrants if I don’t win
I hope someone who is deserving and never gets to go anywhere like me wins! Thanks Zozi & Makeuseof.com you guys rock!

Can’t fill in the form because I dont have a zip code – if the contest really is open worldwide then locations/countries that don’t have zip codes shouldn’t be excluded because of the form
Is it possible to allow country/city instead of ZIP code?
Hey Tara,
Yeah, if you don’t live in the US, then the ZIP code doesn’t really matter. Just enter anything. It’s helpful for those who are residents of the US because zozi helps them find activities nearby.
a very nice place to go to…
