What is the name of this book (travel memoir)

The book is a travel memoir of a couple who win a contest and are able to stay at 4 and 5 star hotels throughout the world for free. However, in order to afford the airfare, they have to do it backpacker style - carrying backpacks, doing laundry in the sink, and making instant noodles in the bathroom.

I originally found the book in Australia during June 2006 - I've not been able to find it in a US bookstore since.

The cover shows a couple wearing backpacks and standing in the lobby of a very fancy hotel.

It was in a Borders, and the author was a woman who may have been Australian. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything else.

Yeah, any more details would be great. I searched everywhere, but really hard without any hard details. Is it an australian edition? In which bookstore did you see it?
 
It was fair to choose no best answer
I agree, but not sufficient details were provided.

I think the book is Absolutely Faking It by Tiana Templeman about a couple who wins a prize to stay at 14 luxury hotels and they backpack in between all over Europe and it is an Australian book.

I work at a library.

 
It was unfair to choose no best answer
Because I am sure I have the correct title.

That's it! Thank you!

I had selected 'no best answer' before you replied because the system told me that I needed to, but I've since gone through and added the tip for you.
