Summer is around the corner, which means holiday planning for many people, and if you have some free time on your hands over the next few months, you could be in luck.

Budget Icelandic airline Wow Air is seeking two friends who would like to travel the world together this summer while blogging and vlogging about their experiences — and getting paid to do it.

The low-cost carrier is launching the WOW Travel Guide competition on April 23. It says it's looking for a "fun pair of individuals who are able to think big." This can either be two content creators, or one who wants to bring a friend along for the adventure.

The successful applicants will move to Iceland from June 1 until August 15, where they'll receive a monthly salary and live in an apartment (pictured below) in downtown Reykjavik. They'll use the place as a base to travel to destinations served by Wow Air across Europe and North America, and will also explore Iceland.

The winners will be allowed to pick where they go, a representative for the airline told Business Insider, which could include places like Barcelona, Los Angeles, Stockholm, and New York.

Each traveller will receive a salary of about 3,300 euros ($4,000) a month, which comes in addition to the apartment, as well as transportation, and other tours around Iceland. Travel and living expenses will also be covered by the airline while the pair are visiting other destinations.

The successful applicants will be required to document their trips, capturing short videos and writing budget-friendly travel tips to create guides for the destinations they visit. Their content, which will include videos, GIFs, and blog posts, will be posted to a section on the Wow Air website called Travel Guide.

To apply, candidates should head to the competition website and upload a two-minute clip offering travel tips for their hometown. The contest is open to candidates everywhere.

The deadline for entries is May 14, after which a panel of judges will select the winners to be announced on social media on May 18, just in time for the adventure to begin on June 1.
