Travelex announces search for epic volcanic ash journeys
Travelex is rewarding travellers with the most epic journey tales from the volcanic ash disruption with the chance to win £1000 to spend on their next holiday.
Inspired by stories of Great British grit, determination and journeys that covered thousands of miles by cars, ferries, rail and foot, leading foreign exchange provider, Travelex is asking travellers to post their epic journeys on their official Facebook page at facebook.com/volcaniclegends
Visit the page and tell Travelex your epic ‘ash adventure' and how you managed to make it back to the UK. Whether you bought a camel in Morocco, drove hundreds of miles across Europe, or sailed from Santander, Travelex wants to hear from you.
Travelex's ‘Volcanic Legends' competition is live until 18th May when the winning journey, as voted for by fellow Facebook fans, will be announced. The winning ‘volcanic legend' will receive a Travelex prepaid currency card, Cash Passport, loaded with £1000 to spend on their next holiday. 10 runners-up will also receive £100 loaded onto a Cash Passport.
Julian Neal, Director, Travelex comments: ‘There have been some absolutely inspiring stories about ways in which travellers have covered thousands of miles and taken the initiative to make their way home against the odds. Travellers have also clubbed together to get home, even using Twitter and Facebook to find unique methods of transport and locate fellow travellers stranded at the same destination. Travelex wants to reward these tales of creative travel plans and sheer determination, by giving the best travel story the chance to win £1000, as well as ten runners-up receiving £100 on a Travelex Cash Passport.'
