JOB DESCRIPTION

Every day Busabout (www.busabout.com), the free-spirited travel expert, connects travellers from all over Canada to epic adventures worldwide. Through its unique Hop-on Hop-off network in Europe, Busabout seeks to enrich the lives of guests with the choice of flexible travel. Neither a traditional tour nor a totally independent trip, Busabout’s Hop-on Hop-off network offers travellers the best of both worlds with the flexibility to experience Europe their way, the added support of door-to-door service, freedom to create a personalized itinerary, and a Busabout Guide and Driver. The brand’s modern coaches link up 46 of the best European destinations, allowing travellers to choose where they go and how long they stay at each place.

Busabout is currently seeking two dynamic travellers to join their team and embark on a trip of a lifetime in Europe this year with all expenses paid. The two (separate) positions will consist of a “Brand Ambassador/Host” and “Video Producer” and both will be responsible for producing regular travel-themed vlogs on YouTube, as well as documenting their adventures on Busabout’s social media networks (Snapchat, Instagram) and blog (http://blog.busabout.com/). In addition, the travelling duo will have the best time of their lives journeying around Europe with Busabout throughout the season experiencing a range of the brand’s products – the full ‘Busabout experience’.
