This Airline Will Pay You $4500/Mo. to Move to Iceland & Travel the World All Summer
Thrillist

Spending the summer traveling all over the world is one of those things you expect to find at the top of most people’s bucket lists. Unfortunately, it’s also something most people’s bank accounts could never actually swing. But now there’s a chance to get someone else to foot the bill, thanks to an insane new job that will literally pay you thousands of dollars to spend the summer living in Iceland and traveling across Europe and North America for free.

WOW Air, an Iceland-based budget airline, is currently on the hunt for its first-ever WOW Air Travel Guide, who’ll be tasked with moving to Reykjavik, Iceland, jetting to and from various destinations across Europe and North America, and documenting the journey with travel tips and advice along the way via social media. It’s a dream gig, for sure, and one made even better by the fact that you get to bring a friend with you to share the three-month experience, and they’ll also get paid. Oh, and did we mention the pay is a cool $4,550 per month for each person?

More than 28 inches (71 centimeters) of rain pummeled Kauai’s North Shore last week, resulting in flooding and landslides blocking Kuhio Highway.

The authority says the northernmost communities from Wainiha to Haena are temporarily closed to vehicles while repairs continue on the highway, but the Garden Isle remains open to visitors.
