Hmm. Valentine’s Day? Guessing we’re somewhere In Lesotho then!
I don’t really do Valentine’s Day, but if I did it would have to be somewhere with a great beach and some privacy.
What a great room you found in Paris – wow!
Would love to spend this credit in Rome or Sicily!!
Valentine’s Day in Paris, a girl can dream right?! Would love to win and spend this during our upcoming Asia trip!
Since we will be back in British Columbia for the first time in a while, we would use it to go storm watching on Vancouver Island in Tofino. No better way to spend a romantic Valentine’s Day!
I would love to go to the Venice Carnival, it seems like the perfect event for Valentine’s Day! Thanks @BarefootNomads for providing this competition. 🙂
This would definitely come in handy! Have shared it on FB as well. 🙂
Perfect timing as we are looking for accommodation in some of these places 🙂
Would love to use this somewhere on the beach in Guatemala for Valentine’s Day weekend – my husband loves to play in the waves and it’s his birthday as well! 🙂
I would love to spend Valentine’s somewhere in the Caribbean.
I would love to spend Valentine’s Day somewhere on a beach…really anywhere that has a beach. Yesterday was 40 below windchill!
I’d put it towards accommodation on Vancouver Island.
Catembe Gallery Hotel for sure fire romantic weekend!
Not very conventional, but I’d love to spend Valentine’s Day at one of the beaches in the Philippines, like Boracay!
I would go just about anywhere for Valentine’s Day, even my own city! Even a quick jaunt to Madrid would be lovely, or somewhere on the beach in Spain…
I’d love to use it to get out of Sydney and explore more of Australia while I’m still an expat here!
I would love to explore Turkey, the hostel and city look very exotic!
Hi there I’d love to spend valenties day in amsterdam as it was my first real city in europe and also the first city I lost my passport in 6 years ago, everybody gets a second chance right?! Hah!
Hhhmm, decisions, decisions……Paris?……Bellagio on Lake Como?…….I know! It would have to be a room overlooking the sea in the Cinque Terre!
Hmmm….so I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day, but my first trip with my now husband was to Rome so I’d love to go back there for a weekend. In my opinion, Rome is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, along with Florence. Damn…now my answer just switched to Florence. Florence is my answer. 🙂
I’d absolutely love to spend Valentine’s Day in Lisbon, Portugal! I have heard such amazing things about the city and would like to visit while currently living in Southern Spain!!
we would love to go back to Andorra, as John proposed to me there when we were sheltering under a rock face from a severe hailstorm in the mountains on our very first tour of Europe (for a moment we didn’t know if the car or us would make it in one piece!)
My wonderful boyfriend surprised me with tickets to Amsterdam for Christmas, so I’d love to be able to return the favor by taking care of the accommodation.
Heading to Japan and this would be perfect!
I would love to spend Valentine’s Day in Aix-en-Provence, France. My boyfriend is there, so it would be fantastic to be with him on Valentine’s Day in a romantic hostel room. I imagine that Valentina’s Day in Aix would probably consist of a romantic stroll through the city center including some parks and gardens, a hike up La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a romantic dinner at Pasta Cosi, and finishing with a romantic night at the hostel.
While I would love to spend Valentine’s Day in Portugal or Spain, I live in the Pacific North West – so I would love to visit Vancouver, BC or Seattle for a romantic getaway with my honey.
I would LOVE to stay at the Shambala Guesthouse in Zipolite, one of my favorite Mexican beaches, with this credit!! That would be the best Valentine’s Day yet!!
I would love to spend valentines day in Cinque Terre, Italy. The views, the food, the wine, the romance. Can’t get better than that!
Will be in Venice for valentines!! And still don’t have lodging so this would be great!! Thanks
I would love to spend Valentine’s Day in Venice! Thank you for the post!
I’d love to spend the credit somewhere a little warmer than the UK where I seem to have abruptly found myself returning to! Here’s hoping
My boyfriend and I grew up in the same neighborhood as kids. We got back in touch as adults and we realized we were meant to be when we caught up on eachothers lives and realized we shared the same passion for travel. We’ve been long distance since the summer when he left to follow his dreams and open a restaurant in Thailand. It would be amazing to be there with him on Valentines Day and whisk him away to a private villa for a night or two 😉
Dear Valentine,
I just have a simple desire to live your day in the best way i found.
Imagine this, only with 200 euros, I sitting in a typical esplanade in Paris, eating a crunchy and delicious croissant with the person i love. The traditional romantic scene.
La magie de Paris, France.
I’d use it towards a stay in Charleston, South Carolina.
Would love to spend valentines day in Venice
Since my boyfriend gave me an unexpected acoustic guitar plus a Fender amplifier for Christmas (TOTALLY CRAZY BOY) and I only gave him a stupid (but really cute) hood/scarf… I’d love to be able to make this big present and take him to Polignano a Mare for Valentine’s Day…pleeeeease 🙁
Prague!

Thanks for the great giveaway!
Since my boyfriend will be gone back to Colombia for Valentines Day (sad face), I would love to give this gift to my parents who never treat themselves and never even go out for a meal on Valentines because they’re always worrying about money! Please let me treat them to a lovely weekend away before I leave them for months again on my next adventure!!
Thanks, Steph 🙂

I’ve never really done anything special for Valentines having never had anyone special to share it with so this year, having got a man in my life, I would love to go anywhere as long as I’m with him. (Will be celebrating late as I’m actually starting a 450km charity cycle on Valentines day this year so I wouldn’t be alone!)
I’m dreaming of New Orleans!
England!
Anywhere in Italy

While it’s hard to be romantic while travelling with an eight year old, you do your best! Any hostel with a private balcony off of your private room to enjoy a glass of local wine with your love while your child sleeps inside.

Where? Well, you guessed it, hostel moguls.
I met my better half in Siem Reap, Cambodia and he gave up the rest of his round-the-world travel plans to move with me to Bangkok where I was finishing up my degree. We saved up to fly to my hometown in the US to spend the holidays with my family, and now we leave in the morning to the UK to meet his. We’ve been dreaming about Paris for Valentine’s Day, knowing we’ll only be a short trip away…
This would be the perfect addition to our crazy story 🙂
