If you read last week’s interview of disabled global traveler Walt Balenovich you’re already expecting this week’s contest, and I don’t blame you! As a follow up on his world travels and adventures I’m holding a simple contest open to everybody in the world in which you can win a paperback copy of “Travels in a Blue Chair” or one of 5 Ebook versions of the same book. What do you have to do to be elligible to win one of these prizes? Simple enough:
1) “Like” MaiTravelSite’s Facebook Page
2) Facebook “Share” this post
3) Leave a comment below explaining what you think is most admirable of Walt’s global adventures.
The winners of the 4 ebooks and the paperback novel will be selected on August 5th via random.org, BUT if there are more than 50 comments by then I will extend the contest another week and give away an aditional 5 ebook versions of “Travels in a Blue Chair”. That’s it! Best of lucks and spread the word!

Oh no….i am too late for participating!! Anyway..thanks Federico for the useful site you set up!
Missed by a few days!
Wow, he certainly puts an end to every single excuse I’ve ever heard with regards to travel related concerns. I just love hearing stories about people like Walt who make obstacles seem invisible. I really admire his trek across Europe touring 10 countries in 30 days. Walt is truly an inspiration to us all!
He is indeed Amber!
Walt is not only inspiring to people with a love of travel — but to anyone looking to following their dreams!
There is so much we can learn from him, don’t you think?
I love that he wrote a book about his journeys — so inspiring!
And I hope people pay attention 🙂
This is a great contest, thank you for posting it and giving us the opportunity to win a copy of such an inspirational book! I really enjoy your blog, and the chance to win something is just an added bonus 😉 -Sara
I am happy to hear this Sara! did you like our FB page? 🙂
Thanks including “Travels in a Blue Chair” in the contest Federico! The feedback from your readers has been fantastic! I know the winners will enjoy their copy and all the stories. I am sure we have all shared many of the same experiences, whether in a chair or not! Cheers.
Last weeks post was fantastic! What I liked most about it was the positivity it had. So many people get down on themselves for what they can and can’t do.
I would love a copy of the book! We would love to reprint the article you wrote. We like you, follow you, and love what you do!
Hi Michell! Thanks for your support! Please feel free to reprint the article, as long as you credit maitravelsite and include one link to the original article or the home page I am happy to share 🙂
Fantastic idea for a contest! I’m sure Walt’s book is awesome!
Give it a shot Erica, you might get a copy!
Great contest, I like how you tied it in with last week’s post.
Thanks Ayngelina, I will be getting a copy for myself 🙂
