Website offers 'Globe Trotter' job, up for grabs for unemployed Brits.

Tired of the recession?

Bored of job-hunting?

One website is offering redundant Brits the chance to apply for a new dream job - an all expenses paid escape route from the dreary reality of credit crunch Britain.

Mark Bower is Lifestyle Director at travel website lastminute.com.

They've launched a hunt for an official 'Globe Trotter'.

Mark Bower, Lifestyle Director, lastminute.com, saying:

"We're going to basically send one person off around the world for a three-month period and also get to do a lot of the lifestyle opportunities on the site, so it could be going to the theatre, going to see Michael Jackson at the 02, all of those things that you associate with lastminute.com and having a great time. We want to find an ambassador who can go out and do these things for us."

The company's calling it the 'ultimate silver lining' for the unemployed with time on their hands.

The winner won't get paid, but they will get a three-month tour of the world's top destinations worth 20,000 pounds.

They'll travel more than 32,000 miles, reviewing hotels, flights, restaurants and theatres on the website's blog.

With an itinerary including New York, Paris, Barcelona and Las Vegas -- it will be a long way from the dole queue.

According to lastminute, a recent survey showed 42 percent of Brits would like to go travelling if they lost their jobs.

When they asked twitter users what they'd do if they were made redundant, most seemed eager to flee the country.

Mark Bower, Lifestyle Director, lastminute.com, saying:

"What we want people to be able to do is say, 'ok, this terrible thing has happened to me, how can I turn this around to actually be the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Applicants are being asked to send in a travel photo and 200-word essay.

A panel of experts will pick the winner by the end of July.

No Globe Trotting experience is necessary -- the only job requirement is having enough free time for a three-month holiday.
