We can all agree that hard work is for suckers. The dream is finding a proper brand ambassadorship that can sustain your travel dreams indefinitely (or until your stipend runs out). In the last six months alone, we’ve shared a WOW air contest looking to pay you $10,000 to move to Iceland and travel the world this summer, and a Cancun Experience Officer gig doling out $10,000 per month to the right person looking to spread the word about the popular destination. Now, one boozy seltzer brand is getting in on the action.

White Claw Hard Seltzer’s My Best Life Contest will pay two winning ambassadors $60,000 each to travel the United States for six months later this year. Exact details of the ambassadorship are admittedly thin. It appears the company is relying on its future “employees” to dictate the terms of their employment. They’re counting on you to know what would make your personal “best life.” They’re providing the deep pockets, but it’s up to the winners to determine how to realize and share their own six-month best life dream.

White Claw is encouraging applicants to think big. They’re expecting ambassadors to travel at least twice a month to any U.S. destination as long as it inspires them. That could mean picnicking in the backcountry of U.S. national parks, kayaking with alligators in the Florida Everglades, taking up surf lessons in Southern California, or skydiving over the Grand Canyon. Given the brand’s presumably young demographic, we’re assuming ambassadors will also be documenting their journey via social media and related blog posts.

Entering is straightforward. Applicants can simply follow the company on Instagram and post their own photo with the hashtag #MyBestLifeContest. Alternatively, upload a photo to the official contest website with a caption that details how you would live — or are already living — your best life.

Prospective My Best Life ambassadors can apply now through June 3, 2018, via the official White Claw My Best Life contest page. You need only be 25 years old and a legal resident of one of the 50 U.S. states (and love hashtags and fruity carbonated alcohol). Good luck!

The U.S. State Department just issued a travel alert for anyone going to the Bahamas – here’s why

Why the State Department is urging Bahamas visitors to use caution

Bahamas

The Bahamas is one of the most popular travel destinations, especially for Americans. The white sandy beaches and clear blue waters draw in millions of visitors every year. However, the Bahamas is now facing heightened concern about safety due to a recent warning of increased violence.

On January 26, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for the country, urging U.S. citizens to be cautious when traveling to the area.

Are you a top shredder? These incredible U.S. ski resorts are for you

Head to one of these first-class resorts when you're ready to take on your biggest skiing challenge yet

Skiiers look down couloir from the edge

So you think you're quite the ripper, huh? Do you carve around ski resorts, shredding any groomer in your path or pounding the pow-turns repeating the mantra "no friends on a powder day" every time you leave your crew behind? Are you first in line with your snowboard in the morning and the last one off the mountain at night? Do you spend your evenings meticulously waxing your skis or looking for ways to update your snowboarding equipment to get the edge?

Perhaps not. Heck, some of the best shredders I know have never waxed a snowboard in their life, and don't even mention the idea of new gear to them — they're barely able to afford breakfast. Great skiers and snowboarders come from all walks of life, but one thing they have in common is their love of great lines. Some love steep, some want deep. Bowls, couloirs, gulleys, drops, kickers, trees. You name it, we want to ride it. The best skiers demand the best ski resorts with the most vertical meters, varied terrain, and of course, the best off-piste parties going. Here, then, are the best ski resorts in the U.S. for experienced skiers and snowboarders.

Food & Drink

This is the most popular beer in the U.S. (you might be surprised)

This sexy staple has been right under your nose the whole time.

Beer being poured from tap

When picturing the typical American cookout, picnic, or game day, of course, there is beer present. It just wouldn't feel right if the brewskies weren't flowing as you flip the barbecue ribs or high-five an awesome touchdown. But when you paint that mental image in your mind, which beer do you imagine is being enjoyed? Coors? Miller Lite? Budweiser? Some super cool hipster IPA, perhaps? While these are all excellent choices, it seems that the beer Americans most favor isn't American in the least.

According to a recent poll by YouGov, Guinness is the beer Americans love most. Surprised? So were we. Don't get us wrong — there's nothing like a Guinness. Its comforting malty goodness and pleasantly bitter hop are exquisite, familiar, and wonderful. The dark and rich Irish brew has no doubt created many a fond memory with its velvety smooth charm. To be sure, we love to enjoy Guinness by the pint, and even use it as an ingredient in some of our favorite meals. We've not a bad word to say about this beautiful brew.
