My holidays have always been budget self catering or bed and breakfast types. This year I couldn't afford a holiday at all so I took up comping with the intention of winning one. When the email came through telling me I had won a luxury holiday to Mauritius I couldn't actually believe it. I even googled the names of the company and the person emailing me to check they were for real! It had taken just three months of entering competitions. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at an elegant five-star resort on this stunning tropical island. The resort was beautiful, with six different restaurants, luxurious rooms, and swimming pools dotted everywhere around their lush tropical grounds. It was a real treat for us. This is a picture of me strolling along the resort's white sand beach after a glass-bottomed boat trip to see the tropical fish in the ocean. I couldn't have wished for a better holiday!
