Contest: Win $5000 Towards an Austin-Lehman Travel Adventure
How would you like to win $5000 to be used towards a trip for two anywhere in the world that Austin Lehman Adventures runs a tour?? And if you win, then I win too. How great is that!
A Bit About Austin-Lehman Adventures
Austin-Lehman Adventures has been around for 37 years. They run trips on 5 continents – offering something, somewhere every month of the year. The guest to guide ratio is never more than 6:1. Adult only trips have a maximum of 12 participants, whereas family oriented trips may have up to 18 participants. A money back guarantee is offered if you’re not entirely satisfied – which is unheard of in the travel industry.
In 2009 National Geographic called them one of the 50 best travel companies on earth. Travel and Leisure hailed them as a top tour operator and safari leader in 2009 and 2010. And in 2007 their Montana trip was recognized as one of the Top 50 Tours of a Lifetime by National Geographic. High praise indeed.
What are examples of trips Austin-Lehman runs?
How about a bike tour in Europe? Trips to Tuscany, Holland, The Loire Valley, Provence, Germany’s Mosel Valley and Vienna to Prague are just a sampling of what’s offered.

Or what about an adventure in Europe?? Explore Greece and the Cyclades Islands on a multisport adventure, visit the Julian Alps in Slovenia or check out the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia.

Hiking in Europe
What about a hiking trip? They offer a diverse array of destinations – Israel and Jordan, New Zealand, Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, British Columbia’s Whistler, Alberta’s Banff to Jasper, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Morocco and the list goes on.

African safaris are also on offer. Choose from Cape Town to Kruger in South Africa, Etosha to Okuakuejo in Namibia or Zambezi to Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
I would have no problem choosing a trip – soft adventure, hard adventure, family style, couples, singles – Austin -Lehman offers it all.

I think there are a lot of fingers & toes being crossed. I’m with you because I SO want one of my readers to win!
Candice – when I saw Greece I immediately thought of you. Maybe the luck of the Irish will help you – that’s if you have some Irish blood in you.
I got excited reading your comment. Thanks for entering!!
Should we be lucky enough to win – I think you’re right – it will be very difficult to choose. I’m already scoping out my top 5 choices. How’s that for being optimistic?
It’s a treat for me to run a competition of this caliber. Thank you so much for entering.
I’m stoked! I can actually enter this contest………..:)
I”m off to do it right now.

Wow, cool contest.
Kind of a nice change. It seems most contests are US, Canada or Europe based.
It will be even cooler if one of us wins!
Wonderful that anyone from anywhere can enter. I would have such a hard time choosing if I won, as I was reading them I kept thinking that I would like to do all of the tours they mentioned. Thanks for featuring this contest on your website.

Good luck Leigh
for you and me
Thank you for the Good Luck wishes.
I’ll second that.
I’m fantasising already about where I would love to go, or rather what I would have to cut from that list! I’ve sent this to lots of people hoping that someone I know will win, and that will also mean that Leigh wins too, because she really needs to get away – really, she does……….honestly, she really, really does!
Wow what a great contest. I have always been envious of Leigh’s world travels and I hope I win so we can do one of these amazing trips!
I have my fingers crossed that one of my readers wins. I am looking forward to finding out the results on May 20th!!! Thanks for entering Marie.
