#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay
Stoke Travel is offering you, yep little old everyday you, the chance to something do truly extraordinary this summer. Every day we give ordinary people the chance to step outside of their comfort zone and have the time of their life — whether it be eating sand while surfing in France and Spain; sweating out, and restocking, toxins in Ibiza’s clubs; drinking your weight in German beer at Oktoberfest; or partying with dangerous beasts in Pamplona, Stoke Travel have made it our life’s mission to get as many people as possible into as many outrageous situations as we can.
Now it’s your turn. We’re looking for the Chosen One, the Golden Child, an ordinary person ready to do something extraordinary, to power up to the next level and come along on all of our trips and have as much fun as is inhumanly possible. Someone who wants to run wild across Europe this summer and document the experience for us. We want you to be a FOMO merchant, dealing out disappointment and envy to everybody who witnesses the blogs, videos and photo galleries you create about your summer with Stoke Travel.
Oh, and you’ll need to put up some tents and help out in the kitchen. This is, after all, a competition for the most extraordinary ordinary job in the world. You’ve got to pay a little to play a lot.
That’s why we’re not looking for pretentious and gorgeous “Instafamous” jerks who are too worried about their look to get their hands dirty. We want low-down legendary normal people, jokesters and pranksters, party animals and fun lovers, travellers, but not polished and perfect travellers, the type who get themselves in all kinds of situations and always end up on their feet, thanks to their big smile and ability to bounce back and soldier on in the face of adversity.
Sound like you or somebody you know? Read on.
Who Are The Ordinary People?
You, me, us, we, everybody. Stoke Travel might not be for everybody, but it is for anybody. We love nothing more than, for a brief while, taking people out of their everyday lives and showing them the time of their life. Stoke Travel isn’t just for the beautiful people, although everybody who comes with us is utterly gorgeous, we don’t deal in glamour, we are specialists in fun. We exist only to help you shake off your comfort zone and come out of your shell. In our completely judgement-free party space you can be whoever you want to be, and isn’t that something extraordinary in today’s world?
What Are The Extraordinary Things?
It all starts in late June, when you join us for San Vino, The Wine Fight, in Spain’s La Rioja wine-making region. From there, soaked in wine, we’ll go to Pamplona, for the infamous Running Of The Bulls, and its utterly legendary street parties. A short ride away is the San Sebastian Surf Camp, where you’ll pass the days exploring the Basque Country and its cuisine, while filling your face with saltwater and sand. A few days on our Surfari will also see you discovering the coastline further along into Spain and France, finding the best waves and the besterer beaches. From one coast of Spain to another, we’ll shuttle you across to Barcelona, where Stoke has its base, and a city that we know how to squeeze the most out of. Art and activities, tapas and techno, you’ll see why this is many people’s numero uno, before leaving the Catalan coast and heading to Ibiza, the world’s number one party island, where all-nighters and lazy days rule the roost, under the everclear Mediterranean sky. The penultimate stop takes us to Valencia and its La Tomatina festival, a few hours of fruit (vegetable?) throwing madness, surrounded by a couple of days spent exploring Spain’s underrated third city. From there we’re heading north and inland to Oktoberfest, the world’s biggest beer drinking festival, and the final event on Stoke’s summer calendar. You’d think that after a summer like that another drunken festival would be the last thing on your mind, but you’d be mistaken. Stoke somehow saves the wildest for last, and you’re the Chosen One because of your stamina.
What’s Included?
All accommodation and transfers from San Vino to Oktoberfest. Meals and drinks when in camp. You’ll need a little spending money for souvenirs, outside dinners and cocktails in clubs, everything else, we’ve got.
What do we want?
A written and video blog, plus photo diary, from every trip you go on. An Instagram post to the Stoke Travel instagram account twice a week (yes, you can give yourself a shoutout). SnapChat takeovers at every event. We want you to be having the best time ever and telling the world about it. We don’t necessarily want filmmakers and novelists, but you’ve got to be able to hold a camera and cut a clip, as well as put your thoughts and experiences into words. You’re going to live a Stoke summer and we want you to shout about it.
