Success Story of Selfie-ish Hobo Contest from TripHobo.com
Would you mind taking a picture for us?
Thats a dialogue we are least likely to hear today!
Why? The obsession of clicking our own picture- Selfies; as we dearly call them has taken over the world. Asking someone else to take a picture of ourselves is too main-stream.
Alone on a hike and want to preserve your victory? Click a selfie
A group photo with Eiffel tower? Click a group selfie- A groupie!
Anywhere and everywhere we go; we see people taking their own pictures. And to take a perfect selfie is an art in itself.
Triphobo was well aware of how selfies are the new trend in travel photography and that made us comprehend what the first ever contest of Triphobo was going to be.
The contest began at the 6th of April and ran through entire month till 30th of April.
What was the Selfiesh Hobo contest all about?
An amusing contest where travellers could upload their selfies with a landmark, a monument or a destination and win a return ticket to their dream destination!
Sounds exciting, isnt it!
The rules of the contest were extremely crisp and simple
- Login TripHobo.com with your email/ facebook account
- Upload up to 3 travel selfies

These three simple steps could give the participants a chance to win a return ticket to their dream destination. 50 top trending participants on the leader-board would be gifted with a selfie stick.
