An airline is paying you to relocate to a winter wonderland and travel the world

Be honest here, you're sick of your job, aren't you? You're sick of getting up at the same time every day to jump on the packed metro, only to perform the same monotonous tasks day-in-day-out and receive your "okay-ish" pay cheque at the end of the month.

The 9-5 working week is a gruelling and monotonous affair, no matter whether you love your job or not. The hours are long and, between the awkward chat at the water-cooler with co-workers, it can be hard to find any form of social interaction. However, what if I told you that it doesn't have to be this way? What if I told you that there is a job out there that will literally pay you to travel the world?

No, this isn't one of those weird pyramid schemes that you see pop up on your social media, this is a legitimate job with a legitimate company, paying legitimate cash.

WOW Air is offering up the ultimate job for travel-lovers, with the airline being willing to pay you to relocate to Iceland, before jetting off around the world as its official Summer Travel Guide.

The budget airline will pay a salary of $11,500 for three months, with the company also chucking in a trendy downtown apartment in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik and a car as part of the deal. Not only this, but the city happens to enjoy sunlight for pretty much 24 hours a day in the summer, so you'll have plenty of time to revel in the delightful weather.

What's more, WOW Air is taking people on as a pair, meaning that you can invite your partner, friend or family member to tag along to your "work" with you.

The role involves documenting your budget-friendly travels through a series of picture and videos and runs from 1 June to 15 August. Once you've landed in Iceland, you'll be able to select to visit any of the airlines 38 destinations across Europe and North America.

The US cities included are New York, Dallas and Cleveland, while historic European cities such as Copenhagen and Paris are also part of the network. On top of the city resorts, you can also spend some time on the beaches of Gran Canaria or Tel Aviv.

Sounds good, right? So, what do you have to do in order to land the job? All you have to do is apply via a short video of your hometown, including a travel tip and upload it to travelguide.wowair.com before 14 May 2018. The company will then pick their official Travel Guide on 18 May 2018.

If you're thinking of chucking in your mundane 9-5, then there is no better time than now. Imagine three months flying around the world and getting paid for it. If you are entering, good luck! I can't wait to see you on Instagram and hate-follow you due to my jealousy about your life and career.
