Win a AU$20,000 Remote Year travel itinerary experience Latitude

Have you ever wanted to pack up your laptop and just live that travel dream? Of course you have! Grab your bag, call your boss and feel the freedom because now is your chance to make dreams come true.
If the magic of Morocco, sunsets in Spain, finding the bookshop that inspired Hogwarts in Portugal, Hippo spotting and cave golf in Cape Town before finishing the day at a winery called Groot sounds like a good day at the office – then it’s time for you, and your job, to go remote.
Thanks to Latitude Financial Services and Remote Year, during a 4 month itinerary you could find yourself working, traveling and living in four different countries around the world - all you’ll need is your boss's blessing to work remotely and take your job with you, and a passion for sharing the adventure.
As you explore the world you’ll also be Latitude’s (officially unofficial) social media travel guru - writing, videoing, gramming, posting stories and sharing moments along the way. Don’t worry, you don't have to be a professional writer or photographer though, you just have to know how to use a camera and tell great stories. Like any good guru, you’ll inspire others to follow their travel dreams too.
For your chance to win make a short video, up to 60 seconds max, that tells us why you want to travel, work and live a life done better – and take working remotely to a whole new level. Upload your video ( or share the link), complete your details, hit enter…. and keep your passport handy.
