Twitter Contest Giveaway: A Year’s Subscription to ITP Magazine

Congratulations, Craig and Linda, on the launch of the ITP Magazine. REALLY wish I could enter this contest, but I suppose I should just pony up for a subscription– all the reviews to date have been fantastic!

I love the fact that ITP chose a print mag alongside other format! Anyway—favourite offbeat location? Hmmm. How about Dalat, Vietnam—made offbeat by its famous Mad Monk at the Lam Ty Ni Pagoda. You can check out thousands of his pieces—and he’s happy to tell you about each of them!

gotta love Yeosu, South Korea

My fave off-beat location is Wharariki, New Zealand

@antibiotyx – Went to Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand last April. Tub Island, a crystal clear white sand beach, looks amazing! There’s a sandy causeway joining the neighboring island during low tide.

Fully an independent traveler, and aspiring travel writer always looking for inspiration.

Looks like a cool mag.

Thanks

@chrisricho Loved exploring around Singapore and checking out the night safari defiantly worth a visit.

My favorite off beat travel location is Nepal, specifically the villages in the Himalayan Mountains. I love how peaceful and simple people are and how everything is illuminated by candle light at night.

My current favorite ofbeat location has got to be Confusion Hill on the Redwood Highway in Percy, CA.

Congratulations!! My Tweepname is @Nwano Now you’ve asked me a difficult question….. hmm…..Maybe it’s my adventurous stay at the Rangers HQ’s of Lake Mburo in Uganda. The place had served as a cheap toerist spot in it’s glorious past. Nowadays, we got the closest encounters possible with the local population of wild animals.

@rovinglight

Interesting sounding magazine! Must check it out….

One of my fav off-beat location? Chitral valley in Northern Pakistan!

@hyperren Given how off the tourist trail it is, Metro Manila here in the Philippines – AKA, where I live – qualifies as “off-beat.” Hardly anyone sticks around for too long, but if they do, they’ll find a LOT under the hood here.

@pezheadkay

My favorite offbeat location is Clam Gulch, Alaska. It is beautiful in the summer and the mix of characters you find at the only watering hole, The Clam Shell, can’t be beat. Plus their annual music festival, The Clam Jam, is one of the best on the Kenai Peninsula.

@CleverGayle

My favorite location is Akumal, Mexico. It used to be very off-beat, but not so much anymore. Such a shame.

congratulations guys, I’ve seen the online version and it looks fantastic!

my favourite off-beat location… tough question as I could just sit here for a while listing places. I’ll pick one of my favourite ones in NZ – since it’s where Craig and Linda are from too In summer, one of my favourite things to do is drive up Muriwai Beach, on the West Coast of the North Island, just North of Auckland. If you can get a 4WD up the beach, you can drive on the sand for about 40km and it is absolutely awesome driving that close to the water, with the windows down… Despite being a beach, you need to follow all road rules and there’s even a speed limit (I can’t remember what it is, though). You will drive past half-buried abandoned cars (watch out for those!) and a number of other interesting things.

You will also drive close to the Kaipara Bombing Range, used by the New Zealand Defence Force for training and testing of munitions and equipment – which, of course, I wouldn’t recommend anyone visits.

At one point during the drive, you lose cell phone reception and get to a stage where your eyes can see nothing but water and sand dunes for miles. The feeling of isolation is amazing and I could easily spend hours alone in that place. Or, even better, have a picnic with friends.

I have absolutely nothing relevant to say, but the zine looks nice so I wouldn’t mind winning a sub.

twitter name @ginamorra. An awesome place i’ve been to recently was Rincon, PR. Beautiful beaches, fun nightlife and daytime partying, too. Hop from hotel to hotel, where you don’t have to be staying there to take advantage of their beaches, pools, bars and coconut drinks!
