Become our Adventures Ambassador!!!
The World Nomads Ambassador Van Do you dream about standing beneath Uluru, swimming with dolphins in Monkey Mia, surfing the breaks along the Great Ocean Road, dancing till dawn in Sydney, chilling-out in the rainforests of Northern Queensland... And then telling the whole world about it?
Could you be our first Adventures Ambassador?
We're looking for the best travel bloggers in the world to share part of a huge 2 year Aussie road trip. Each Ambassador can have the van for FREE for up to 6 weeks, and will be set-up with the latest on-the-road blogging technology to record the sights & sounds of their journey and share them with the rest of the world.
What you'll need to be
- You must have a monumental spirit for adventure and a desire to share your adventures through blogs, podcasts & vidcasts.
- You must be comfortable with the use of laptop computers, mobile phones & iPods; in a nutshell, you can't be a technophobe.
- You must be over 21 and hold a valid overseas drivers licence.
- You must be already travelling in Australia and prepared to travel to the designated pick up point to take over the Ambassador van from the previous Nomads. However, you'll be able to choose your own route for the 6 weeks you have the van.
