Ever on the lookout for interesting offers, travel deals and ways to save a bit of money traveling, HostelBloggers got wind of this rather interesting travel writing competition over at British newspaper, The Independent.

Basically, they’re offering some lucky wordsmith the chance to travel round Europe for free, honing their travel writing skills by blogging for a national newspaper as they do so.

Destinations on the itinerary include the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, and all you’ve got to do to be in the running is say in a measly 200 words which city in Europe tickles your fancy and why. (You can either read more about the competition details here or just email competitions@independent.co.uk with ‘SABMiller’ in the email subject line.)

This is the only slight hitch, really – that you might have to sell just a little of your dignity rights to the brewers, SABMiller, who are sponsoring the initiative… But when the prize is a minimum of four weeks’ free travel in Europe, we’re sure that whoever wins will be a more than enthusiastic beer ambassador!
