BAM.

It's in. It's in. It's in.

The second and final submission for STA's World Traveler Intern 2009 Contest.

YESSIR THAT WATER IS COLD BUT DON'T YOU WANNA JUMP IN NOW TOO?

THIS IS IT.

Ok, Guys,

As it turns out, I was one of the EXTREMELY lucky ones to have been chosen as a top ten finalist in the STA World Traveler Intern contest. I would type how excited I am about this, but I think the amount of exclamation points would just scare you away. And I especially don't want that right now.

This is the last bit of the contest; this week, each of the top ten is to create a new video, due March 27th. The winners and runners up will be announced on April 1st (I know, right? April Fool's Day? Really?). From here on out, it's happening fast and it's happening TOUGH.

This is likely the last time I'll be playing this shameless self-promotion card, because this is the last part of the contest. But YES, you can still help, and YES, I beg you to do so. Here's what you can do:

COMMENT.

Comment. Comment. Comment.

It can be a comment on my facebook wall, it can be on my STA travelers page, it can be on my blog, it can be on the youtube page for my video, or it can be on the STA Travel Wire blog's newest post, which lists the top 10 contestants (in fact, this one seems to be the hottest place at the moment, because you can view all the videos AND post comments on one page). And please spread the word. If you have a website, blog, facebook, myspace - anything - and feel so compelled to post a link to my video (either on the STA travel wire blog or on youtube), well, I'm not gonna stop yahz.

Also: If there's another video you particularly like, please be so kind as to comment on it, as well - all of these people deserve compliments, and not to mention, it's two people that are going to win this contest, not one - so I'd be really really interested to see who you could see as a potential travel partner for me!

I'm not sending out these links to show off. I'm excited with my video, yes, but I'm sending them because garnering interest and "support along the journey" is not only legitimately part of this competition, it's also something that I will need to be able to do regularly if I'm chosen as one of the World Traveler Interns. It's part of the job, and I think it goes without saying that this is not only the very job I've WANTED my whole life, it's also the job that I am certain I would do the BEST at, out of any other job in the world. So PLEASE, bear with me - I promise that if I get this internship, I will not let you down...

Again, DANKE, GRAZIE, MERCI, ARIGATO, GRACIAS - cheers.

Big time love.

Kdm
