Travel Agency Now Accepting Applications For Traveler Dream Job

STA Travel 30th Birthday

Have you ever wanted a job where all you had to do was go around the world, take some photos, meet new people and research some of the planet’s greatest sites (natural and manmade) in-person? Oh, and get paid for it?

Well, apparently such a job actually exists. Sponsored by STA Travel, the World Traveler Internship lasts for three months and will send two very lucky applicants to destinations all over the world, including but not limited to Australia, Egypt and Brazil – all expenses paid for by STA. Not many internships have that many perks – believe me.

Some tasks will include taking photographs, shooting videos for YouTube, blogging and tweeting. Sounds difficult.

The catch? You have to be between 18 and 26 years old to apply. Other qualifications and requirements include being able to bike, kayak and edit video on the fly. Probably knowing some other languages would help too.

    About Me

    I'm a freelance journalist based in northern France, covering business, technology and travel. I've worked for The Business Insider, FastCompany.com, CNN's San Francisco bureau and the U.S. Department of State, and had clips & photos published in the New York Daily News, MainStreet.com, and Irish America Magazine, among others. Before that, I obtained a B.A. in Mass Communications and History from the University of California, Berkeley and a M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University, where I served as art director for the student magazine, Plated. I also currently cover digital cameras and camcorders for ZDNet.
