Travel-WRITINGINTERNSHIPs IN BALI
Are you a wordsmith with permanently itchy feet and a thirst for adventure? Do you want to spend your
uni holidays living on an island paradise writing and publishing a travel guide?
This Australian summer, Global Hobo is offering all-inclusive travel-writing internships in the uber-hip
Balinese province of Canggu.
Over the course of a month, a team of word-savvy hobos will be given cross-cultural language training
and intensive writing tutelage focused on travel features, editorials and reviews courtesy of writers and editors from VICE, Surfing Life, Huffington Post, Your Friends House, and, of course, Global Hobo. In their free time, interns will be exploring every nook
and cranny of southern Bali so they can put together a comprehensive destination guide and release it as
an eBook for sale online.
THE PREMISE
Daily travel-writing workshops with a range of industry professionals
40 hours of small-group Bahasa Indonesia language classes
Two Balinese cultural classes (woodcarving and dance)
Dorm-style accommodation in a Balinese mansion or villa, complete with WiFi and a pool
Airport transfer on arrivalSweet deals on surfboard, motorbike and helmet hire
What’s more, if you’re a journalism or communications student, participation in the
internship gives you the potential to receive a full subject’s worth of university credit as part of your
university’s Work Integrated Learning program. That being said, the internships are open to anyone who
wishes to broaden their experience and writing portfolio irrespective of year or tertiary enrolment.
WHAT YOU GET
Cost: $1899 with the option to pay in two installments.
Dates:Program I: November 23 – December 20 ,2015
Program II: January 4 – 31, 2016
How to Apply: Send a winning cover letter, resume and writing sample to gemma@globalhobo.com.au proving
why you are worthy of this incredible opportunity and outlining any skills that may be relevant, such as photography, social media or the ability to use inDesign. Any boring emails will be thrown out the window. Successful applicants will be intelligent, open-minded creatives looking for some real-world
journalism experience and to get a taste of Indonesia beyond its tourist vortex. The ability to work well in a
group is also essential.
