The company, which counts celebrity Jay Z as an investor, is on the hunt for a Brit with a passion for exploring the great outdoors to camp and glamp the length and breadth of the country, discovering, reviewing and sharing some of Hipcamp’s most unique and beautiful UK stays.  

The winning candidate will receive a summer salary of £15,000, a daily stipend, as well as complimentary stays at 15 of Hipcamp’s best camping and glamping sites for the duration of the 30-day journey. 

Hipcamp CEO Alyssa Ravasio says: “It’s no secret that since the pandemic, more Brits than ever are choosing to holiday at home rather than travel abroad. Our launch in the UK allows us to get more Brits enjoying the best outdoor stays on their doorstep, and to mark this exciting moment, we’re giving one lucky winner to experience the best the UK has to offer, completely on us!”
