As a Producer-Shooter for reality TV- it’s often been my job to produce what I think would be entertaining challenges for a show. So I’m holding my very GRRRLTRAVELER Travel Contest.

What are GRRRLTRAVELER Travel Challenges?

Occasionally, I like to give myself travel challenges. Usually, this is to launch me into bold new directions and they can be either large or small, depending. My first travel challenge was to becoming a solo traveler (read here). Although this is an ongoing challenge for me, my first planned solo trip was to Thailand a month later and executed here.

My next GRRRL TRAVELER Challenge  is to live and move abroad. The destination country, I ultimately chose to pursue and am waiting to see if it comes through is South Korea.

Q: What is the coolest or craziest travel challenge while living in South Korea?

If I move to Korea, what would be an interesting travel challenge for you to read about here?  List your thoughts or more than one in the Comments section below  or you email me using the Contact Form. I will select the one I like best and in the future, you just never know…

Contest Deadline

The prize 

 A pair of olsenHaus 100% vegan shoes (pictured above).  Actual list price is $225.

It was given to me by designer, Elizabeth Olsen. Famous fans of olsenHaus include actors Cameron Diaz, Alicia Silverstone, and Emily Deschanel and author Rory Freedman.

Update: And the winner is….

Qing Qing Chen of Brooklyn, New York  is the winner of my GRRRL TRAVELER challenge! Qing Qing, your Olsenhaus vegan shoes are in the mail! Enjoy!

Her idea was to eat live octopus ‘Old Boy’ Style. Old Boy is a Korean film and a scene from it, has the main hero, eating live baby octopus. It is considered a delicacy in Korea. I’m not sure why, but it’s still done to this day.

Will I be able to eat live octopus? Woof. That’s something I’ll have to pass on.  It is a travel challenge I’m sure others will try.
