Win an Incredible Experience Day Out @ urbanvox.net

Written by UrbanVox 14 Comments

So… I think it is safe to say that the whole 2012 novelty and brand new year feeling and smell is over already right? We’ve all made plans for the year and decided to do more stuff (or less according to some people I know) and now is time to get on with the rest of the year and make things happen!

So… my mantra for this year is “Keep Active” and I am planning to work that out in all ways possible and don’t be alarmed if you read a lot about it around here and to kick-start that in style I will be giving away a £50 Gift Voucher courtesy of the awesome peoples at ExperienceDays.co.uk .

Experience Days is THE home of experience gifts and experience days in the UK and there you’ll find a stunning range of unique gifts, presents and activity days. Whether you’re looking for the perfect romantic gifts for a partner, an activity day out with the family, if you’d just love a professional top to toe pamper day for pure relaxation  or if you’re itching to launch yourself off the UK’s only bridge bungee jump, look no further to get inspired as they’ve got the experiences to ensure you make it a day to remember.

To win is easy:

Just leave me a comment describing in a few words what would be your PERFECT Experience day out. Don’t be shy… it can be one of the ones in the Experience Days website or your most ludicrous dream!

You can enter the competition until 11:59pm on January the 30th and I will be picking a winner out of the sorting hat (or something like that) on the 31st of January and posting the results on my blog.

Sending me your answer to @urbanvox on twitter with the hashtag #keepactive counts as an extra chance to win.

The Gift voucher can be redeemed against an experience with the same price or put towards the costs of a more expensive one so BIG WIN!!!!

My perfect Experience Day would probably have something to do with a handful of gorgeous ladies ready to do my bidding and attend to me every desire… like baking cakes, giving my nice back rubs, and… well… the last thing is none of your business! ;-) DON’T JUDGE ME!

Sooooo… What is YOUR Perfect Experience Day????

YuuWaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Those are the contents of my pockets at any given day.

I absolutely HATE to carry things on my hands and unless I’m out to take pictures, to meet a client or to one of our family adventures (in which case you can be sure I’ll be taking some sort of camera with me anyway) I avoid at all costs to carry bags, rucksacks, etc etc etc…

Let’s just say I like to travel light, so last month when I was on a contract to diagram a whole magazine working half from home and half from their offices I was daunting having to carry one of my external hard drives (which is attached to the big monster machine in the most difficult way there is to unplug it) as well as the laptop (yeah… they didn’t set up a work station for me there… saving money by not buying an extra licence for inDesign… go figure).

The solution believe it or not came in the form of a pen drive.

Yeah I know… now you are gonna ask me what’s so great about this pen drive… Well… YuuWaa is not just a mere pen drive, it combines 4GB flash drive bundled with up to 20 GB online storage space which you can access from any computer connected to the internet and if you are like me and you keep forgetting things on top of the table I have some great news for you: YuuWaa automatically backups the physic memory into the online storage so all you need to do to get the files you’ve stored into your pen drive is log into your YuuWaa account from any browser you like and retrieve it.

The interface you use to access files (both online and inside the pen drive) is very easy to use and it comes with some other funky features, like for example, if you want to share a folder or a file with someone else without sharing your password for the service, you can simply create and send them a ling to the files you want them to access and all pretty straight forward through the YuuWaa interface.

I have to admit that I was a bit sceptic with it all when I saw my wife using it and thought “fair enough… it is like having an FTP account on a pen drive… I wouldn’t buy one” but then I got to try it myself and well… I was wrong!

It simplifies things quite a lot with all the automatic update features and if you lose the pen drive you won’t lose the files you had in it which believe me, it can be quite handy.

The retail price for the YuuWaa starts at £19.99 (at Amazon) for the 4GB YuuWaa GO version and with it you get:

  • The first flash drive to include online storage, backup and sharing services
  • Combination of 4GB flash drive bundled with up to 20 GB online storage space
  • Access files anytime, anywhere on our secure server via any Internet connection
  • With the purchase of this product, get online services for FREE for 6 months (but maintaining your account after the free 6 months starts at £1.80 for a month’s storage with YuuWaa Go and £4.51 for a month’s storage with YuuWaa Plus and the more time you purchase in one go, the cheaper it gets. Ah… and YuuWaa are giving away an amazing 2400GB of storage.* Simply visit www.youwinyuuwaa.com before 30 June 2010 to try your luck and play the game.)
  • Storage: YuuWaa Plus combines a flash drive with expandable online storage space
  • Backup: Thanks to an automatic backup of your flash drive files, you never lose data
  • Sharing: Easily share data with family, friends and colleagues with a simple drag and drop
  • 128-bit-SSL technology for secure data transfer
  • YuuWaa is provided by Gemalto, the world leader in digital security

And if you like free stuff, YuuWaa will be giving away 3 YuuWaa Go to the readers of the UrbanVox HQ. To enter is simple: just leave a comment or post a tweet linking to this post saying I want a yuuuuwaaaaa!!!

You can even do both to maximise your chances to win!!! ;)

Simple right??? Now go on… leave your comment, share it, tweet it, etc etc… you have until Sunday 27/06/10 to do it.

Good luck!

Hasta La vista!
