Beth Whitman over at the always interesting travel blog Wanderlust and Lipstick has a few cool projects in the works that we’ll be featuring on Pulse over the next couple of weeks.

But this one, in particular, is likely to grab your interest.

How’d you like to go on a 15 day all-expenses paid trip to Peru?

Did I hear you say, “Hell yeah!”?

Yep. That’s what I thought.

So… all you have to do is write a travel story before January 31, 2009.

Simple as that.

Then, you submit it.

Then, you sit around and wait with tense anxiety until the winner is announced.

For full contest details, check out this link.
