Travel the World With a Complete Stranger for Free
There is nothing more sobering than traveling with a friend for the first time. You get to know their weird “quirks” very quickly, like they hate walking too much or their teeth grit in their sleep (I’m not saying I know someone who does this, but I’m not saying that either ).
Why travel with a friend or even alone when it can be done with a complete stranger and for free? This is something that offers a travel agency TourRadar , and that w is a hell of a social experiment. And technically, you won’t be entirely alone, as the film crew will also be watching you. Just like any other vacation!
Specifically, TourRadar is sending two complete strangers (along with a crew of three) on tours that span five counties and fifty days. All expenses are covered and, most importantly, you don’t know where you are going until you go (for example, bring a parka and a bathing suit just in case).
According to his press release, TourRadar wants to share its love of multi-day competition tours , with film crews filming your trip around the country as a souvenir. You will also be able to spend a lot of time with a complete stranger for fifty days, so this is a memorable event in itself.
If you love surprises (and small talk), how can you sign up? You will need to start on the TourRadar website and complete an application. You should also submit a two-minute video explaining why you want the trip, what your hobbies are, and what a typical day in your life is.
“Serious bonus points will be awarded to everyone who manages to stand out from the crowd,” says their website. “We think: public places. Great sight. All the bells and whistles. It’s up to you.”
If auditioning for the role of American Idol taught me once, it’s that wearing a suit helps.
You can submit your application by March 24, and the winners will be announced in April.
