The participating teams (of at least two) will have to create a money-saving, yet creative four-day itinerary for a trip in Taiwan.

Taiwan and the best trip in the world

50 teams that come up with the best itineraries will be selected to execute their travel plan and share their stories with approx. $850 USD allowance provided. The teams will then stand the chance to win the $30,000 USD grand prize.
