Best job ever? Travel around the world, get $48,000 A competition is offering a six-month around-the-world trip. THE idea of travelling around the world and returning home without being broke - or at least somewhat financially challenged - is a long way off reality for most people. But the dream could come true for one traveller, with the launch of a competition offering an all-expenses paid blogging trip around the world. Global travel company My Destination is calling on Australians to submit entries to their "Biggest, baddest, bucket list" competition. The winner will be able to create their own itinerary, choosing a minimum of 25 international destinations. The trip must include at least two destinations from each continent. What's more, the winner will arrive home to $US50,000 ($48,000). They will blog along the way and will be required to take part in at least one local experience in each destination such as visiting a landmark, tasting a local delicacy, staying with a family or an adrenaline-filled activity. Included is travel expenses such as flights, trains etc, accommodation, activities and $US10,000 spending money while there. Those wishing to enter the competition will need to create their own video about an inspiring destination, write a blog post about an interesting travel experience they've had and take three photos to go with the post. Entries close on March 31. The best 10 candidates will make it through to the shortlist, five chosen by My Destination and five chosen by visitors to the website. Then the top three will be chosen in April, before the final winner is announced on May 7. Remember Ben Southall, winner of Tourism Queensland's "dream job" in 2009? Well he'll be a guest judge on the panel. Southall moved into a three-bedroom beach home overlooking the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and received a salary package of $150,000 for the six-month contract. He took care of a few "minor tasks" and reported to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates to promote the region. Follow our Travel Editor and Travel Reporter on Twitter.
