Would you dare put your travel adventures in the hands of an Instagram audience? Get paid to capture content on the road for flexible travel operator, Busabout, while Instagram’s audience dictates your next move.
Busabout is seeking six adventurous travellers to embark on “The Great Travel Experiment” — an all-expenses-paid, six- to 11-week holiday in either Europe, Southeast Asia or the USA, worth R149,000!
. . .
The six successful candidates are required to capture social media content while travelling, but must leave everyday holiday decisions in the hands of Instagram’s audience.
From tough decisions like skydiving or white water rafting in Lauterbrunnen, and whether or not to swallow a deep fried insect in Bangkok, Instagram users will have the power to decide what happens next. The interactive polls on Instagram Stories will allow Busabout’s audience to have a say in each and every moment of the winners’ global adventures.
There are two positions up for grabs in each destination – an Instagram Storyteller who is confident in front of a lens, passionate about travelling and has a knack for telling a great story, and a Videographer with creative flair and experience filming and editing brilliant video content.
Application deadline is 23:59 (GMT) on 8 April 2019. The Busabout team will select a shortlist and leave the final decision up to public vote on the Busabout website.
All successful candidates, no matter their chosen position, will be required to get involved in the challenges set by Instagram’s audience.
The Southeast Asia and USA itineraries both last for six weeks over the Northern Hemisphere summer, while the 11 week Europe itinerary hits the hotspots across the continent, and culminates with beers and pretzels at Oktoberfest in Munich. All six successful content creators will be paid a stipend of R3500 each week on top of the all-expenses paid trip.
. . .
To apply for The Great Travel Experiment simply select your position (Instagram Storyteller or Videographer), suggest a preferred destination and record a 60 second video showcasing the best bits of your very own hometown – extra points will be awarded for creativity.
Candidates can apply as a dynamic duo with a fellow creative genius, or sign up solo and bond with their new colleague on the road.
Videos can be submitted on the Busabout website here and entries are open until 8 April 2019.
