Wanted: World Traveler Interns to Explore the World on STA Travel’s Dime
Lewisville, TX, January 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- STA Travel – a global travel specialist with more than 30 years experience sending students, teachers and young professionals around the world – today announced the opening of applications for the 2010 World Traveler Internship: a three-month, 8-country-plus, out-of-the-office Internship for two lucky young people with every expense covered by STA Travel.
The World Traveler Internship is open to any young person in the U.S. under the age of 26 who wants the opportunity of a lifetime to travel around the world for three months blogging, shooting photos and videos, and tweeting about their adventures from June through August 2010.
To apply, just visit worldtravelerinternship.com to fill out a short application and submit a link to your two-to-three-minute YouTube video response telling the panel of STA Travel Experts and World Traveler Internship partner judges, including a representative from mtvU, why you should be one of the two World Traveler Interns from the U.S.
All applications must be completed and submitted by March 2, 2010, with the World Traveler Interns being announced on April 13, 2010.
Itinerary
The World Traveler Internship program is known for putting together some of the most exotic and exciting itineraries ever seen and this year is no different.
The World Traveler Interns start their journey in Peru, volunteering at the STA-supported voluntourism project providing after-school tutoring and warm meals to orphaned children in Cuzco, near iconic Machu Picchu. Follow that with a trip through Brazil and Argentina, and a couple weeks in Australia, including a stop in Tasmania, and the Interns are off to a flying start.
The Interns start July in Japan hitting Tokyo and Kyoto before making their way to Thailand for some island hopping and Turkey, where they will visit Istanbul and the site of the Trojan War.
August offers a bit more freedom for the Interns. After a week in Egypt with the pyramids, the Interns will help plan their own itinerary with a Eurail Global Pass and two weeks to explore Western Europe before heading home to the U.S.
Application Process
To apply, potential World Traveler Interns must fill out a short application at worldtravelerinternship.com with a link to their two-to-three-minute YouTube video response detailing why they should be a World Traveler Intern.
Applications close on March 2, 2010, for deliberation by the panel of travel experts, who will then select and notify the top 50 applicants. Those top 50 applicants will then be required to submit a full application, including a formal resume, references and past experience. It is a job after all.
The top 50 are trimmed to the 20 best applicants who must complete a phone interview with one member of the panel of travel experts before they can advanced to the final round of judging. The 10 finalists will be required to submit a second video that will determine the two World Traveler Interns and the two runners-up, who will also receive trip prizes. The Interns and runners-up will be announced on April 13.
