Holy cow, I can’t believe Labor Day is almost here! How is everyone’s summer going? Wait, before you answer, why not join us and AFAR this week in welcoming ExOfficio, the makers of truly awesome adventure travel clothing and gear, to Pin-Up Live! We’re going to be sharing summer tales and talking about gearing up for adventure. We’d love it if you stopped by and chatted with us.

To spread some extra summer love, ExOfficio will be giving three lucky participants at the chat $100 gift certificates to spend at ExOfficio.com. I don’t know about you, but I could really use some new travel underwear!

So, please join us and AFAR this Wednesday (8/27) at 7 p.m. (EST) on the Pin-Up Live! board to have a real time chat about about preparing for your next adventure! You can expect a lot of Pinspiration, tips and stories flying around on Wednesday night, and we would love to hear your stories too!

About ExOfficio

How Do I Join In?

It’s simple to participate in the chat, just head on over to our Pinterest board, Pin-Up Live!, which is dedicated to the event. We will be pinning inspirational travel pins to the board, each one containing a question related to preparing for your next adventure. All you have to do is join in on the conversation!

We will pin a question pin every few minutes and if you read or see something you like, we’d love to hear from you in the comment section of the pin. This is a way for all of us to share our travel stories in a visual way. During the chat we’ll be checking out your boards and repinning some of your items to the board as well.

The theme for this week’s chat is going to be Gearing Up For Adventure! Feel free to chat away–we want to hear your travel questions, tips and travel tales! Important: Pinterest does not use hashtags (#) in a real time way so in order to follow the conversation, you’ll have to be on the Pin-Up Live! board at the dedicated time (Wed 8/27/14 at 7 p.m. EST) to participate. You will also need to refresh that page every couple of minutes to see the updates and new pins. Remember to refresh!

How can I win one of the $100 ExOfficio Gift Certificates?

Simply join in the discussion! At the end of Pin-Up Live!, we’ll announce the winners–so just by joining in the fun you’ll automatically have a chance to get one of the three gift certificates to ExOfficio.com.

Why Pinterest?

Ever since joining Pinterest in 2012, we’ve been hooked. And a lot of it has to do with the inspired ideas and photos we encounter on a daily basis.There’s a lot of incredible people on Pinterest, but no real good way to have a conversation–until now.

As avid travelers, we love sharing our travel tales and we believe the best tips and advice comes from your connections–family, friends and social networks. Pin-Up Live! brings the conversation to Pinterest, making it easy for people to connect and share stories, tips and beautiful images, while developing a comprehensive travel resource board that will continue to grow more robust as new topics are discussed.

Pin-Up Live! is the original real time chat held on Pinterest and we plan to keep bringing you unique travel themes to stoke your inspiration and wanderlust, so please let us know if you have anything in mind you’d love to chat about. Remember, joining in the conversation is easy, just come to our Pin-Up Live! Board on Wednesday (8/27/14) at 7 p.m. (EST). And remember, if you’d like to be entered in this week’s drawing, all you have to do is comment on one of the question pins during the session.
