Hello! Fancy a job with the worlds largest student and youth travel company? Here’s our pitch. Founded by two Aussie backpackers in 1979, we started off life with mullets and a mission: to create affordable adventures for awesome humans. Over 40 years later, we’ve grown from two backpackers to almost 2,500 people, spread across 230+ stores and nine global head offices hubs. Together, we inspire like-minded travellers across the world to #StartTheAdventure. We believe that crossing borders have the power to break down barriers, to change how we think, and to bring people and cultures closer together. And on the unofficial work/life/travel happiness index, we also believe that travel has the power to give you one of the happiest careers in the world. With every trip and every traveller, we are still learning and growing. Which is why we need more brilliant people to share in our passion and join us on our journey.
