The Heineken Dropped campaign is a global initiative to launch the Heineken Voyage, the fifth chapter of Heineken’s global Legends campaign. Heineken will search the globe for four men who embody the “Legendary Traveler” and send them on voyages around the world to challenge them to travel outside their comfort zone. One of these travelers will be from the US.
BOOM!
Nomadness Tribe member, Jubril Agoro is giving back by running a contest to pay for one week of international travel to someone without a passport, aged 18-24 years old. If this is you, check it out!!
In his words:
"Travel has changed my whole world. It has opened doors I didn't know even existed. I want to share that with a couple people starting out on their travel adventures. So I am going to pay all expenses trip for 2 people to come travel with me this summer for a week."
We got this!!!!!!
As many of you know, last year Nomad•ness was successful in a funding campaign for the pilot episode of Berlin or BUST! The video which you can see to the upper right of your screen. --->
Our goal then was $5,000 in 45 days. We hit $6,620.
Now, with the Tribe surrounding me, it's time to go for the gusto! On September 29, 2012 the Tribe is having their 1 Year Anniversary, and it's going to be the Ultimate International Tribe Meet Up. What better way to bring that in then to have it shot and turned ino an episode for the crew?! It's going to be amazing!
So, the Tribe and I are on the road to raising $10,000 in 45 (now 43 days). As I type this we just got our 15th pledge and have IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS went over 10% funded at $1030.
When I tell you this movement is something that people believe in, believe me!!!
Even if you pledge just $1 it all helps us reach our goal. The fundraising ends on March 31, 2012 at 11:59pm. We have some cool rewards for people who pledge into the filming of the project. Remember, Kicktarter is all or nothing. If you don't make your goal (you can go over) by your deadline, you get nothing and no funds are taken from your pledgers. Thems the rules! Thank you to everyone who has helped both past and present, and I look forward to demolishing this goal, on the road to March 31st. Spread the word!

So, you all saw my pleas for Dengue Fever to be done with. You read about the drama. Vicariously through blogs, travel photos, and videos you followed me on my journey with the crew of Jet Set Zero TV. The only female in a cast of four, we lived life in Chiang Mai, Thailand witnessing the beautiful, the ugly, and craziness that was our lives.
Todays fundraising day is JET SET ZERO Day! To launch it, above is the trailer for my season. Watch it, watch it again. Let it soak in because it's time to get the first glimpse at the roommates, the country, the experience. Jet Set Zero Season 8: Thailand baby!
Again, thank you guys for the support! You have seen step by step what I'm trying to build. It's projects like mine and Jet Set Zero that helps level the playing field. Check it out and pass it on!

Meet Ailey...
She's a phenomenal woman and also happens to be a dear friend of mine.
She's an actress, and model, who I worked with back in 2006, in Paris, while attending school at La Femis, through the New York Film Academy. Two NYFAers. She's beautiful, talented, and very well traveled. She's just moved to Australia after spending a number of years based out of Bangkok, Thailand. Within the past year, she also had the pleasure of heading to Dubai. Definitely a Nomad•ness prototype...
She also happens to be in a competition that needs your vote! She is in the semifinals for Miss V8 Supercars, in Australia. Here are the details, from the woman herself:
Ailey here asking you to PLSE vote for me! =D
I was a participant in the Phillip Island round of the competition and need DAILY ONLINE VOTES FROM YOU to take me through to the Grand Final in Sydney where girls from all over the country will be competing for the MISS V8 SUPERCARS title :)
...
There are two ways of voting via the internet:
Online voting (FREE) and the Supervote ($10 for 10 votes).
Each person can only vote one time each day.
Every person who votes for me goes into the running for some great prizes too! Including a trip for two to Sydney for the Miss V8 Supercars Grand Final.
THANK YOU for taking the time to vote for me! It's a great opportunity as if I do win I will be flown to Sydney from November 29 to December 5, for a week of judging, media appearances and V8 Supercar duties. The chosen Miss V8 Supercars will win $60,000 in prizes and travel and will carry out her duties throughout 2011 at V8 Supercar events throughout Australia :)

Here's some info, fellow travelers on an opportunity to travel the highways of America, get videotaped along the way, and win some cash and prizes. Apply for the official application HERE!
The program will run from July 11 through August 28, 2010. Over the course of the program, we’ll launch three road trip teams on different routes each week. Each team’s mission is to interact with people along their assigned route, capture interesting stories of unique personalities and places throughout their journey, and upload their stories to the program website.
As each team files content from the road (written stories, photos, videos, etc.), web visitors track their daily progress, comment and vote for their favorites. Each team competes against one another to create the most compelling stories and win cash prizes. The team with the highest number of votes for that week will be awarded the weekly prize of a $500 Amex Gift Card.
In addition, each week, the team with the most compelling overall content (as determined by judges) will receive a $200 Sears Auto Center Gift Card. Select teams may also participate in additional segments of the road trip beyond their designated segment for an opportunity to win more prizes. Web visitors will also have the chance to win daily for their participation.
