Win a Free Trip to Africa with Forevermark’s New Diamond App

There’s no shortage of travel inspiration in the Her Campus Study Abroad section. It’s kind of impossible not to start mentally planning your next overseas trip while perusing the articles and blogs.

But whether it’s a strapped wallet, a conflict with timing or a course transfer issue that’s kept you from studying abroad, all hope to satiate that wanderlust is not lost — and the solution couldn’t be easier.

Forevermark, curator of the world’s most carefully selected diamonds, is offering you the chance to win a trip for two to South Africa! By downloading Forevermark’s new, free iPad app Forevermark: The Promise, you’re automatically entered into the sweepstakes. The app also offers an awesome interactive look into the journey of a Forevermark diamond, from mine to ring.

The grand prize trip to South Africa includes a once-in-a-lifetime visit to a diamond mine and a stay at a world-class safari lounge — hello, dream vacay! And while we’re dreaming big, here are four more adventures to add to your South Africa itinerary:

Swim with the penguins at Boulders Beach. Because swimming with the dolphins is so last year. Take a dip in the Indian Ocean, and spend some quality time with the endangered Jackass African penguins.

Go to a soccer game. Or should we say football? Sit on the sidelines and watch a match of the region’s most popular sport. Don’t forget your vuvuzela.

Make it to the top of Table Mountain. It’s one of South Africa’s most prominent landmarks with incredible aerial views of Cape Town. Hike or take the cableway to the plateau of this flat-top mountain.

Participate in a drum circle. Feel the rhythm at Cape Town’s Drum Café. Listen to some master music makers bang out some beats of their own, and then jump in!

Download the app now, and keep those fingers crossed! (Don’t have an iPad? Enter here.)

Sarah Weinberg is a student at San Diego State University, Class of 2012. She is attempting to overcome her aversion to multitasking as she pursues courses in Liberal Studies, Spanish, and Journalism. Sarah has always been interested in the “behind-the-scenes” aspects of the fashion and lifestyle industry with journalism being a prominent prospective path. Now, much of the time that she should spend working on homework and writing papers is instead spent pouring through magazines and lusting over ridiculously priced shoes, impeccably styled pictorials, and the glamorous lifestyles of the cover models. It isn’t unusual to find Sarah baking (anything with a large amount of chocolate), traveling (last stop: summer abroad in Granada, Spain), playing in her closet (never too old to play dress up), or hanging out with friends and family (how cute and cliché). She is currently a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista.com and is thrilled to become a writer for Her Campus.
