United Kingdom:a student paid to travel

Student jobs are not always fun:they are often tedious and poorly paid. But our English neighbors completely defy this reality! The railway company National Rail revealed an offer hard to refuse:travel across the UK all expenses paid. But there are conditions… To apply, you must be between 16 and 25 years old and live in the United Kingdom. The very formal cover letter takes a slightly more modern turn:candidates must write a description in 140 characters, like Twitter, and post a short video of themselves during a trip or describe one of their recent expeditions.

Apparently, nothing very complicated then. Once the finalists have been selected, they will be submitted to a public vote which will determine the lucky winner. But no way for him to twiddle his thumbs! Throughout this crazy adventure, he will have to film his moments of life and share them with Internet users on social networks. And to top it off, the head adventurer of the National Rail will see his bank account credited with 10,000 pounds. The dream for all travel enthusiasts!
