A leading lifestyle publication is on the hunt for an avid adventurer with a love of the great outdoors to visit and review National Parks across the United States – from the Grand Canyon to the Everglades.
Advertised by Lucky Mag, the listing states that the selected candidate will have the opportunity to travel around the country for 18 months, and will need to ‘put their hiking boots to good use’ to earn the $200 weekly stipend, plus expenses.
The chosen applicant will be required to document their experience in each National Park via detailed reviews and photographs, which will be the focal point of an in-depth guide on the Lucky Mag website.
Anyone wishing to apply for the role can do so here: https://www.luckymag.com/thrifty/get-paid-review-national-parks/ – Applications close July 10th.
Government records show there were over 297 million recreation visits to National Parks in 2021*, that’s a 20% increase from the previous year when facilities were forced to shut down due to Covid-19. The guide created from this research aims to promote further visitation, and continue to increase the number of visitors each year.
As the selected candidate will be reviewing the parks over an 18 month period, they will experience various types of seasonal weather conditions, and prove National Parks are not just desirable during the warmer months, but throughout the year.
The selected candidate will be asked to research and review the activities available at each National Park, such as cycling, tours, and kayaking, as well as public facilities, hiking trails, cycling routes, scenery throughout the park, accessibility, and suitability for solo travelers, families, and large groups.
Applicants will also be responsible for speaking to locals and those who work within the National Parks, to uncover their stories and provide a rich background for each area.
The job role will include visiting each of the country’s 63 National Parks over an 18-month period, with time allocated for travel and vacations. All expenses will be covered, including the cost of accommodation and transport between the parks, as well as an additional $500 for each review submitted.
As part of the application process, applicants must provide a 200 word summary of why they believe they would be best suited for the role, and a brief description of their favorite adventure.
The cutoff date for applications is July 10th, 2022, with the successful candidate being selected by the end of July. Applicants must be 21 and over, fluent in English (both written and spoken), and absolutely must have an ‘adventurous spirit’.
