Announcing the Winners of Westin Weekends with AFAR

We are pleased to announce the winners for the CATCH: Win a Westin Weekend with AFAR contest!

Thank you to the savvy travelers and local experts who shared their experiences from around the world. Experiences like singing with Italians in the “Lair of the Wolf” and eating a Moroccan-Mediterranean waffle in Canada inspired us to see these destinations in new ways. We awarded our winners 24,000 Starwood points—enough for a two-night stay at a Westin hotel anywhere in the world. Check out all of the winning Highlights here for inspiration for your next trip!

I’m an adventurer and homebody. When I’m tempted to nap instead of experience an event I ask myself, “Would you rather do something you’ll never remember or never forget?”
