Entrepreneurs Wanted to Travel the World

Region: No Geographic Location
Salary: All Expenses Paid Travel

Your Big Year is seeking aspiring entrepreneurs to travel the world - and film it, photograph it and blog about it!

Starting in January 2011, the trip will last 12 months and take you to all five continents. Along the way,
the winners will meet and learn about entrepreneurs from different cultures and get tips from key
business figures from around the world.

Successful candidates will be expected to work on educational projects in South America and Asia,
conservation work in Australia and Africa, and summer camps in the USA.

They will also be expected to document their experiences through blogs and on film. Full media
training and kit will be supplied.

The position is unpaid but travel, accommodation and living expenses will be covered by Your Big Year.

The estimated value of this project is £35,000 but the experiences and skills you gain will be priceless.

Two successful candidates will be chosen following an extensive interview process designed to
reward those with initiative, energy and enterprising spirit.

Applications are welcomed from adults of all ages and from all countries.
