The ultimate dream job is here. A cruise company is offering what can only be called a fantasy job – cruise around the world, take pictures, post them on Instagram and earn a stipend of £3,000 (that’s roughly Rs 2,50,000!) for a period of 3 weeks! Incredible, right?

To bag the ‘Intern-Ship of the Seas’, applicants are being invited to share their best travel pictures. They’ll be judged based on the story telling ability, originality, and visual appeal of their Instagram updates.

The ‘interns’ will be required to take shore excursions on each cruise and will have to document the experience in pictures.

Their pictures could tell different stories – they could be about someone they met on a shore excursion or onboard the luxury cruise ship. It could even be about a crew member with an interesting story or an impressive role.

Sadly enough, this one’s open to only citizens of UK and Ireland. But we hope other companies take a cue and come up with similar internships. 

Social media is the end all and be all these days. If you are hot on social media, you have arrived. Business are made, reputations built, and moolah earned through social media. And one thing that’s huge here is travel. You haven’t travelled if you haven’t boasted about it on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. And now, companies have realized the importance of social media in furthering their business and staying on top of their game. 

Having a go on the FlowRider is a must!

Today, travel really doesn’t mean burning a hole in your pocket. The world is full of possibilities, and if you really want to see the world, there are opportunities galore. From professins that let you travel to blogging about travel, the options are many.
