I work on very cool things at this company. Some things I have worked on in the last year will be utilized in a contest where the company sends 5 families to 5 different tropical islands to use tools and methods that we do to map an island. Of course, it&#8217;s not a full-time affair. You&#8217;ll have some R&amp;R time but, you&#8217;ll get to build a map hands on and have some fun. They&#8217;re also including some cash to make the trip even more fun.<\/p>\n<p>This is very exciting and a proud moment for me and I&#8217;m sharing it with my readers so you can apply. Who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll be the on-island liaison for you to show you how these tools work but that&#8217;s probably not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a video that better explains the contest.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NGEEjzUrmjI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSince winners are being picked every 2 weeks, You can apply multiple times after each drawing of the winners. Basically, Apply today for Fiji and then apply again in 2 weeks for the next island. Be sure to share the submission on Twitter &amp; Facebook. Those that don&#8217;t win won&#8217;t be carried over to the next one. Aside from the grand prize, 9 people every 2 weeks will be randomly picked to win a TomTom Device<\/p>\n<p>You can apply and find out more via a few various methods:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TomTom\">TomTom Official Facebook Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomtom.com\/summer\">TomTom&#8217;s Map Paradise Project Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/map-paradise.tomtom.com\/en_us\/competition\/terms_conditions\/\">Map Paradise Official Rules<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/search\/%23mapparadise\">#MapParadise on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I work at a cool company.
