Have you ever looked at the Instagrams of those girls who get paid to travel and snap gorgeous photos of their locations and been so jealous you could burst? 

Well, Canon is looking for someone to fill a very unique position as it begins its search for the ultimate storyteller.

One lucky person will spend a year chasing summer across the globe in order to identify 365 inspiring stories, to help rectify the fact that the art of storytelling is getting lost in a social media feed cluttered with drunken night out snaps, selfies and hot dogs or legs holiday snaps.

Canon has opened applications for one person to ‘Live For The Story.’ Applications for this role will be taken via Instagram and judged by actress, producer, musician and storyteller, Zoë Kravitz (no big deal).

The successful candidate will follow the sun across the globe, visiting destinations from Lisbon to Melbourne to Brazil, documenting their locations and experiences as they go.

'Those who think they have what it takes to inspire people to find their own stories can apply by sharing their most memorable summer story on Instagram with the story behind it (no more than 50 words), tagging @CanonUK and #LiveForTheStory.'

'Submissions will be judged on a number of elements including storytelling ability, visual appeal, originality and inspirational qualities.'

'The successful candidate will be required to travel the world chasing summer in order to identify 365 inspiring stories throughout the course of the job.'

'The role is all expenses paid and, of course, offers a holiday allowance of 365 days per annum.'

This literally sounds like the ultimate dream job.

Zoë Kravitz said: “Summer is a time of spontaneity and living in the moment.'

'We want to encourage people to live every second to the fullest, because it’s then that the best stories can happen.'

We volunteer as tribute!
