This has been a busy month for us with travel, the launch of our website re-design, and now an announcement I’ve been looking forward to sharing: we’re hiring! Over the past few years as we’ve grown Find Us Lost, I’ve always wanted to turn it into an online resource where you can get inspired and plan your travels. Now, we’ve expanded on that idea and introduced new ways you can interact with content, including a trip planning resource and new sections on our blog.
Find Us Lost is so much more than our story of leaving home to travel. It’s grown into a community of what we like to call ‘modern world travelers’. As we expand, we’re looking to produce more inspiring travel content, photography and blogging advice, and resources for our readers to plan their trips. We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated individual to work alongside us in this exciting new phase. If you know someone who would be a great fit for this role, we’d also love your referral!
Please note that this position is now closed and we are no longer accepting applications. Thank you.
