Get paid to travel

Are you “open-minded and courageous?” And would you like to travel the world for free? If so you should immediately head to Busabout’s Great Travel Experiment page to apply for one of these unique travel opportunities.

The company is offering six people the chance of travelling through either Europe, Asia, or America on an all-expenses-paid trip for six to 11 weeks that would usually cost up to $10,400 (R150,000). In addition, the six selected winners will be paid $260 (R3,800) weekly on top of all the travel.

The catch is that exactly what you end up doing will be dictated by votes on the company’s Instagram account. The viewers could decide that you will go skydiving in the Alps, eat grilled insects in Bangkok or go white water rafting in Texas.

One team of two will be sent to each of the three destinations, with one person the Instagrammer and the other the videographer.

The full application procedure is detailed on the site but basically involves creating and uploading a 1 minute YouTube video showcasing your hometown.

“The main thing we’re looking for is someone who can tell a great story, so be as creative as possible. Remember to introduce yourself too – first impressions count!” the site says.
