For example, I’m sure there’s a fair amount of people — myself included — who think that jet-setting around the world on someone else’s dime is a pipe dream. But two companies have come together to make that dream a reality.
The gin brand Bombay Sapphire and Mr. Fogg’s, a group of Victorian-themed bars inspired by Verne’s novel “Around the World in 80 Days,” have joined forces to organize a competition fit for the bravest of gin-loving adventurers.
One lucky winner will be chosen to serve as an ambassador for the two brands. The mission?
Go on an all-expenses paid, 80-day journey around the world, following in fictional explorer Phileas Fogg’s footsteps and hitting locations such as Hong Kong, Paris, New York, Bombay and more. And all the while, you’ll be sipping on as many gin and tonics as your heart desires.
And if that doesn’t sound awesome enough on its own, here’s even more good news: You get to bring a companion on your travels. Huzzah!
Alas, this is technically a job, which means they aren’t just paying you to have a good time.
Along the way, you and your traveling buddy will be responsible for documenting the trip through social media and blog posts.
On top of recording your exploits, you’ll also collect various ingredients such as herbs, botanicals and spices. At the end of your 80 days, you’ll return to the soon-to-be opened addition to Mr. Fogg’s bar collection: Society of Exploration. There you’ll use the gathered ingredients to create your very own “Around the World” cocktail.
All flights, alternative travel methods and accommodation will be paid for, a spokesperson confirmed to me through email. And on top of that, you’ll be given spending money throughout the trip. Bombay Sapphire ambassadors will also organize various “once in a lifetime experiences.”
The overall value of the trip isn’t specified on the job listing, but the spokesperson informed me that the rough estimate is $20,000.
