The 'Best Job In The World' Winds Down But Another Awesome Job Begins
While most of us are busy packing up our holiday presents and preparing to head through increased airport security to head home, another traveler is especially sad to see the holiday season come to an end. Our lucky pal Ben Southall, who won Tourism Queensland's Best Job In The World earlier this year, is finally coming off the payroll, but only for a little bit, because apparently he did well on his annual performance review. We probably would too if we needed to excel at blogging, photographing, swimming, and being on vacation for much of 2009.
After a visit from Santa and his parents for the holidays—we hope he got a new snorkel—he’ll be heading out from paradise to promote his former island home around the world. His new job will be to tell everyone how great Queensland and Hamilton Island are, but he will have to do it away from the sun and the sand.
He will be working at some of the 14 tourism offices that Tourism Queensland has around the globe, and he will probably be receiving swanky accommodations as he visits the United States, Japan, China, and New Zealand. Looks like the best job just got a little better, especially if the travel department pops for some first-class tickets for his around the world adventures.
