After Ben Southhall beat 34,000  applicants to bag the Best Job in the World as newly installed caretaker of Hamilton Island on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, it turns out that another Brit has just struck lucky.

A holiday booking website launched a competition to find a willing candidate to blog their way around the world.  And the winner is a recently made redundant Brit, 24 year old Richard Conway who will be paid £20,000 to travel the world and blog his experiences on the One Heck of a Summer Website.

He will spend five months making the 32,000 mile trip around the globe and taking in cities including New York, Las Vegas, Dubai and Barcelona.  If anyone is feeling remotely jealous by this news, then you’re in good company – Grrr.
