Overview
If we're being real, the cost of things right now has probably put a bit of a snag in your travel aspirations for 2026. But you know what's bound to help? A $10,000 flight fund designed to get you exploring the globe over the next 12 months.
Behind the initiative is YouTrip — a fintech firm specialising in a multi-currency mobile wallet — where the crew has just launched a nationwide call for its latest campaign. That'd be the chance to become one of ten unofficial YouTrip travel interns.
If you get picked for the 'job', there's not a whole lot to stress about. Just use a new YouTrip card to book up to $10,000 in international flights, get reimbursed for the full cost and share at least three travel stories or posts from your adventures.
Ready to apply? The campaign runs from Wednesday, March 18–Monday, April 20, and is open to Aussies of any age. The first five winners are selected through a random prize draw, open to anyone who signs up for a YouTrip account.
Meanwhile, the remaining five winners will be chosen through a social media giveaway, where participants enter by signing up for YouTrip and commenting on the campaign post about their unique travel talent.
"Australians love travelling, but they're also incredibly savvy about how they do it: finding smarter routes, hunting down better deals and ways to stretch their travel budgets further," says YouTrip COO Kelvin Lam. "The Travel Intern search is about celebrating that travel talent."
YouTrip's Travel Intern Giveaway runs from Wednesday, March 18–Monday, April 20. Head to the website for more information and competition details.
