Travel the World for Free

I have found a truly awesome opportunity which I recommend all current students (undergrad or grad) apply to. STA travel hosts a student to travel the world every summer. The basis of the program is that you will take video footage and blog about your experiences. Your main responsibility is to act as a "student perspective" - actively interviewing tour guides and videoing your entire journey. In return for the advertising, various travel companies will pay for your trip.



The itinerary for 2008:

You begin the summer by learning the basics of shooting travel videos from people at the Travel Channel.

You then fly to Madrid, courtesy of "Contiki Holidays"

To Greece, Albania, and Crotia, courtesy of "Topdeck"

and to China and Vietnam, thanks to "Intrepid".

Requirements:

Excellent creative, written and verbal skills
outgoing personality
video camera/photography skills
basic computer skills
enjoy being active and able to hike, bike, kayak
must be between the ages of 18-26.

The application deadline is really soon - March 1st. So check out this website and apply!
