The Concept• My concept behind 'Best Year of Your Life' was something

so huge and awesome that you couldn't possibly pass it up.

• Something that spanned continents, countries, cities and towns and introduced you to people and cultures you never believed existed. It is the type of opportunity that people would leave their job for.

• It also became clear very quickly that this was a great business opportunity for Epic world Travel.

Living the Dream• focus on one person who gets that opportunity of a life

time to see the world• can convey how awesome and necessary for personal

growth travel is and gets our target market asking how they can achieve this
