Traveling the World for a Good Cause

Everyone dreams of traveling around the world. And what better way to do it than for a good cause? This is what World Life Experience proposes. In this second edition, they seek 11 young individuals, between the ages of 21 and 39, to travel to a total of 28 destinations where, in addition to exploring the world, they will be able to help the local population through charitable activities focused on social and environmental development, with an assigned monthly salary. The adventure will kick off on January 15, 2019.

The 11 fortunate young individuals, after going through a careful selection process, will begin their adventure by traveling, discovering, interacting, and working with the local inhabitants of each location as well as with various NGOs. The ideal candidate's profile is someone responsible, empathetic, tolerant, proactive, with an intermediate level of English and the ability to work in a team.

The goal of this program is that, from this unique global perspective, these young individuals will become a driving force for their generation to create and implement a conscious community, capable of making a positive impact on the world through their new experiences.

The countries where the participating youth will leave their mark include Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Greece, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and South Africa. In all of them, the adventurers will take on social responsibilities and collaborate in social transformation dynamics, through various jobs oriented toward culture, tourism, leisure, and social awareness. Additionally, they will be required to share all their experiences and stories on social media, through texts, photographs, and videos.

Registrations are open on their website until July 20. The registration cost is €9, of which €2.50 will be allocated to the financial support of altruistic organizations fighting against hunger, human rights, the rights of refugees and/or those at risk of social exclusion, as well as healthcare and medical assistance.

Once registration is complete and payment is verified, candidates will have to complete 3 questionnaires with their personal data, about volunteer work and group conduct, and about logic. Those who pass the tests will have a Skype interview in September. On the 30th of that month, the 11 winners of the experience will be announced, so that on January 15, 2019, they can start their global journey.

Selected candidates will receive, throughout their adventure, a monthly salary of €2,500, which includes coverage of travel expenses (accommodation, transportation, food, etc.).
