Those interested in this unique opportunity are invited to submit applications until Jan. 21, 2019 at midnight EST. The lucky winners will also receive up to $1,000 in spending money along with complimentary tickets for the long-distance route of their choosing. In return, the winners will be expected to document their journey on social media and share their experiences with followers.
Don’t let a lack of professional experience in writing or visual media stop you from applying; in fact, Amtrak is seeking people who aren’t high-profile social media influencers for this cross-country adventure. All you need is a creative side, a social media account, and a passion for travel.
Eight winners will be selected from the pool of applicants and will be announced on Feb. 15, 2019.
