It was a pleasure to read all of your personal stories and many of them made a great impact. But as with every contest, there can only be one winner…

Congratulations to GUILLERMO BERRIEL – You are the winner of a trip to party island Ibiza, including one overnight stay in a hotel and a night out with your best friend!

Read his story below:

Dear Armin,

A couple of months ago, I moved from Mexico to Spain for my studies, and I found out just recently that my girlfriend in Mexico cheated on me.
There will be no sweeter revenge than showing her that I’m in Ibiza with one of the best DJs in the world, looking for ‘Another Her’.”
