Two companies have come together to make a dream job possible if you’re a gin lover.
Bombay Sapphire, a gin brand, and Mr. Fogg’s, a group of Victorian-themed bars inspired by Jules Verne’s novel “Around the World in 80 days,” have organized a competition for gin-loving adventurers.
One lucky winner will serve as the brand ambassador for both brands. The job?
Go on an all-expenses-paid, 80-day journey around the world, where you’ll follow in fictional explorer Phileas Fogg’s footsteps and visit locations like Hong Kong, Paris, New York, Japan, Bombay and more.
And yes, all that time, you’ll be sipping on a lot of gin and tonics.
Want more? You’ll also get to bring a friend aka loyal companion to travel with you!
Your mission while on this adventure revolves around documenting the trip through blog posts and social media.
You’ll also collect various ingredients like herbs, botanicals, and spices where at the end of your 80 days, you’ll use the gathered ingredients to create your own “Around the World” cocktail. And your cocktail will be added to the new bar, Society of Exploration‘s cocktail list opening in the Fall.
In addition to all flights, accommodation, and lodging being paid for, you’ll also get spending money throughout the trip.
The estimated value of the trip? $20,000!
