Join me in Georgia: A photo tour and invitation for Spring 2015

I'm heading back to Svaneti and other parts of the Republic of Georgia in March and April. Hoping to share some of my knowledge and love for adventure, so if any of the delicious food, wine, or powder sparks desire, get in touch in comments or check about me section of the blog. A good handful were lucky enough to join me last spring break, and now you have a chance to... 

Lots of spring skiing, beautiful mountains, and rich food awaits...

Making sorghum molasses at the farm

Last weekend lots of us gathered at the farm in Butler County, Kansas outside of Wichita for the annual sorghum festival with family and friends. Following the cutting of cane with machetes and pressing with a vintage press from Tennessee powered by the internals of a very sad looking car, we set off to boil. Hours later, a gooey, sweet substance emerged.

Here are a few GoPro pictures of the farm, where the sorghum cane is grown. More on the molasses making coming soon.

A contest: #corwinistan

I'm running a little social media contest. Get ready for fun...
The details: As I look beyond the Purple Bubble (aka Williams College), I sometimes struggle envisioning where I will travel to next... over the summer break, on a vacation in a year, on a random weekend in five years. I want you to share some of your best shots of countries, cities, and buildings where you have been, and where I should think about exploring too.

Please help me out-- and let me maybe help you out with some sweet schwag- by posting your own original series of three images matching these time-specific versions of #corwinistan.
Here's an example:

 #corwinistan #khorogstateuniversity #summer2015 @benerco

 #corwinistan #tbilisi #sakartvelo #fall2015

#corwinistan #boston #nicerrestaurant #weekend2019

The basic rules:

• All photos must be original content produced by the poster, and poster will retain original rights but give @benerco non-exclusive rights to distribute images as part of the #corwinistan campaign. 
• All content must be age-appropriate to my 13-year-old sister and my grandmother. 
• One entry per person, per week. An entry consists of three photos (summer 2015, October 2015, random weekend in 2019) uploaded on Instagram and tagged with #corwinistan. Feel free to tag and follow @benerco in your photos, but this step is not required. 
• Photos can be shared via twitter, facebook, etc with the #corwinistan tag. This may or may not increase chances of winning.
• Schwag will be determined by me, bcor. There will be between one and three prize packages depending on number of entries, shipping included in the lower 48. Each package will include various cool things from my travels and probably some sweet adventure clothing... 
• Contest opens 10/14/2014 11:25am EST, and closes 12/01/2014 11:25 EST. 
• Winners will be notified via Instagram comment by 12/14/2014.
