It is possible that your trip to visit your family is also the trip of your dreams (well at least maybe for your colleagues that have never been there).<\/p>\n<p>Once the winter break starts, now comes all the photos that your friends post on Facebook and Instagram. Australia, Canary Islands, Costa Rica, etc. Leaving you maybe second guessing the trip that you actually decided long ago to do for yourself (and your partner\/family).<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are on one of those trips that is making your friends feel a bit envious, take a moment to participate in our new photo contest.
