Thanks to Thrillist for featuring Explorest's contest!

"Right now we're all encouraged to practice social distancing and stay in our homes. But while our lives may be on pause, the flowers still bloom, the sun still shines, and the pretty buildings still pretty building. And if you're lucky enough to have a view of something other than a brick wall--or, in my case, a constantly naked gentleman--you might have a chance at winning $500. "

Make money doin what yer already doin.

"It’s time to get creative inside - and maybe get rewarded for it."

We’ve got a long way to go in this coronavirus quarantine situation. We can’t go out. We can’t hang with our friends. We can’t even spend our days complaining about traffic on the Palmetto, because there is no actual traffic on the Palmetto.
