Since 2016, The Travel Intern has been growing our community of travellers and content creators. We’ve been sharing our love for travelling through film, photos and words and continue to inspire travellers to travel better, smarter, and braver.
In fact, we’ve travelled on 250 trips to 50 countries!
We’ve also brought the community on some of our favourite adventures, like multi-day hikes in Nepal, riding horses in Kyrgyzstan, and exploring the vastness of Mongolia.
We’ve hosted over 20 trips, and this year, we’re ramping things up with trips to more remote destinations around the world.
So we’re on the search for a few Trip Facilitators and Coordinators!
