Getting paid to stay at 5 star resorts in Bali

I just applied for a senior internship position with Luxury Escapes, who is offering a travel internship to those of us in the 60+ category.

What is a senior intern?

From the Luxury Escapes website:

Your Internship Includes

• Begin your one-of-a-kind journey with two days in our state-of-the art Sydney or Melbourne office, where you'll brush up on a range of online skills like blogging, social media marketing and more!
• Jet off overseas to Bali for 9 nights, where you'll set up shop in your new tropical office (three five-star resorts over the course of your internship!)
• With the guidance of a Luxury Escapes team member, you'll have the unique opportunity to get a behind the scenes taste of all that is involved in creating our incredible Luxury Escapes experiences
• Get out 'in the field' by reviewing five-star resorts, zeroing in on a property's 'wow factor' and developing a keen photographers' eye
• Includes domestic flights to Sydney or Melbourne as well as international flights to Bali!
• All accommodation throughout your internship experience as well as airport transfers, a $100 daily allowance and all daily resort meals 
• As a Luxury Escapes Intern, you'll also enjoy indulgent bonuses like spa treatments, poolside cocktails and exciting day trips

I've never been to Bali (or Australia), but I have been to several other tropical destinations including a week on a Windjammer cruise in the West Indies, although they've since gone out of business. I've also spent a week in Cancun and a week on Kauai. Although not tropical, I also lived directly on the beach on Monterey Bay for 3 years. I spent 2 1/2 months on a tropical island in the British Indian Ocean Territories (BIOT) as part of my around the world in 79 days deployment with the US Air Force is support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

I already blog and have a social media presence, which are some of the things that they will train the winning intern to do.

Although it looks like it won't include airfare to Australia, so I'll have to look into that, but it will be a chance to enjoy some fun, tropical travel as well as blogging and social media posting, which you already know that I enjoy.

So, wish me luck!

(Darn! I just read the fine print. It's only open to residents of Australia or New Zealand! Oh,well...it still makes an interesting blog post!)
