Cast your minds back to April friends – you might remember TCé flagged up a comp where you picked a prized possession you’d trade for the chance to win a pretty awesome experience of a lifetime in New Zealand – a country that looks like it should be on the destination hitlist of any self-proclaimed urban adventurer. But whether you entered or not, you’ll be pleased to know you’ve got one last opportunity as Stories Beats Stuff enters into Phase 3, offering two new adventures which you can enjoy with three of your pals. There’s the glamorous City Splendour, which will take you around three of New Zealand’s largest cities and let you get up to everything from whale watching to club hopping, before later relaxing at a boutique hotel, VIP style:

Or you can choose Culture Kaboom, where you’ll take in New Zealand’s volcanic history by visiting boiling mud pools, steaming geysers and a hot water beach before learning more about Maouri culture by meeting locals and experience the indigenous lifestyle firsthand:

We’d be kidding ourselves if we didn’t think those two trips looked brilliant – and if you think so too, simply submit a video or a photo of what you would trade-off, select the three friends who’ll be joining you (pick wisely), and share your entry on all your social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) to get as many votes as possible.  You can even win flights for two to New Zealand for just voting.

Personally, we’ve got our eyes set on Culture Kaboom for being the epitome of YOLO (“you only live once”), so’ll be entering with this:

There’s nothing more we prize more than our vinyls – and these two – from the late Amy Winehouse – were the very first we received she debuted her album Frank nine years ago. Call us crazy for putting our Amy original promos on the line, but we’re down with the philosophy that stories beat stuff (even beloved stuff!), so it’d be great if you can vote for us just here) – and let us know when you enter as we’ll be more than happy to return the favour!

One of my New Year’s resolutions those many months ago was to have plenty more experiences, memories and adventures to write and instagram home about – so entering a competition like Stories Beat Stuff to win the trip of a lifetime to New Zealand was a bit of a no-brainer (!).  All I’d have to do for this opportunity to enjoy an amazing time away with three (!) of my nearest and dearest, is simply share what treasured possession I’d trade it for:

And the prizes? Well, now that it’s Phase 2 of the comp, two new incredible experiences are up for grabs.  There’s Winter Highlife,  an epic skiing trip which includes lessons, VIP tickets to the Queenstown Winter Festival and the chance to bungee jump, snowboard, jet boat and sky dive – or Natural Goodness, where I could go paragliding, rafting, kayaking, see local wildlife and enjoy a overnight cruise, staring at the stars  – brilliant, no?!
I opted for Winter Highlife (I’ve always wanted to go skiing!) and would figured I’d trade my vintage DEFIANT box record player which I bought some years ago –  I’m CONVINCED  it’s worth something? –  and Teddy Pendergrass’s Greatest Hits thrown in (reluctantly) for good measure – and yes, this baby still works!:
Stories Beat Stuff
So if you fancy your chances at winning this competition too, just record a video or  send in a photo of what you’d trade for the trip to www.storiesbeatstuff.com – then choose your 3 mates you’d want to come along, and get canvassing for votes via all your social media outlets – Twitter, Facebook, Google + you name it.  You might also want to visit  http://www.facebook.com/purenewzealand/app_141439529289323  t0 see some of the entries so far to get your creative juices flowing. So good luck to all those who enter – it’s a fantastic competition  (and …if you vote for me, I promise to vote for you ;-)
