Join the adventure

Most people join our trips because they want to switch off and let us do the planning, all while discovering sights they wouldn’t find on their own. With each trip only 12 days long, they’re perfect for a break from work or studies: meaningful, purposeful travel, without the stress.

We’re also passionate about making travel more affordable and accessible for everyone. That’s why we offer a few subsidised roles, including the trip leader pathway, for participants who want to take on more responsibility and lead future trips themselves. Leaders not only gain incredible experience for their CVs – they also get to travel for free. Best of all, they can balance this opportunity alongside a full time career or degree. Read on below for more info.

What does the role involve?

This position requires a highly organised and adaptable individual with strong leadership and interpersonal skills. Future trip leaders assist in coordinating, and managing all aspects of the trip, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience for all participants. Key responsibilities include: 

  • Travel coordination (e.g. assist head office in planning and coordinating travel between different destinations)
  • Organising activities (these will mostly be booked by OTW but there may be some that can only be arranged when in the country e.g. last minute activities that the group wants to do instead of a planned activity, local festivals that do not follow usual calendars we use etc.) 
  • Emergency assistance (e.g. provide support in any emergency situations and maintain an emergency contact list)
  • Timekeeping and group management (e.g. assist in managing the group’s activities and movements, keeping everyone informed and organised)
  • Participant wellbeing and situational awareness (e.g. keep an eye on both internal group dynamics and external factors, escalating any potential issues to the head office promptly)
  • Mentorship (provide guidance and support to participants, helping them navigate challenges and make the most of their experience, foster a sense of community and teamwork within the group)
  • Administrative duties (assist as required e.g. expense tracking)
  • Social media management (e.g. documenting the trip through photos / videos, uploading Instagram stories)

What benefits do you get?

  • Progression to trip leader after passing assessment
    • lead future trips for free (we’ll cover the cost of the programme for you, just get your own flights, insurance, visa fees etc.)
    • special discounted rate for all future trips when not leading  
  • CV enhancement 
  • Strong examples to use in competency-based interviews 

Who are we looking for?

You must first come on an OTW trip and successfully pass the assessment, which consists of: 

  • A day on the trip where you lead the team, assessed by the trip leader
  • Interview after the trip with the founder (competency, situational questions)

EXCLUSIVE opportunity – subsidised trip available for amateur media and content creators (e.g. photographers, videographers, micro-influencers). 

What does the role involve?

  • Depending on your area of expertise, we will set expectations during the application process on a case-by-case basis
  • As an example, for photographers, we will expect at least 20-30 high quality usable images and videos by the end of the programme, showcasing most activities in our itinerary and our participants. Please consider joining the trip only if it genuinely interests you, independent of the media component, as this is not a fully paid professional assignment. We also reserve the right to decide on the purchase of royalty-free licenses for your images after reviewing them.
  • We’d like to use the images royalty-free for digital purposes on our website and social media channels, in perpetuity. We can negotiate a lump sum payment with you for a set of images. You retain the rights to publish or license these images elsewhere, as we do not require exclusivity.
