Nine extends casting for 'best gig in TV' Travel Guides Season 4

Want to travel the world for free as a TV travel critic? Duh, who doesn't.

A Nine spokesperson has dubbed it "the best gig in TV" and they've already received a whopping 11,000 applications for the role -- the biggest response in the show's history. But happily, Nine have just announced they'll be extending casting to their hit reality series Travel Guides for season four.

The application submission deadline has been pushed out to midnight Sunday April 28, 2019.

While many of your favourite guides get set to return for another season, Nine is looking for a new set of globe-trotters to take on the envious role of reviewer ahead of production later this year.

Keen to know what it takes to score such a coveted TV role? We put it to one half of Travel Guides' sister act, Stack, who said the show producers are after something "different".

"I think it takes a bubbly personality and an honest person to be considered for Travel Guides, I think they look for something a bit different" she told 9Honey Travel.

"Don't bulls--t on your application, be true and honest about yourself. And remember you will be travelling and living in each other's pockets so you want to have a very good relationship with the people you travel with," she cautioned.

Oh, and you may want to check with your fellow wannabe guide that they're up for the adventure before applying.

"When I put Mel and my application I didn't even tell her that I had," Stack revealed.

"I did it standing in-front of our house under a big tree and just winged it. I made sure I put the few key points they asked, but I had never done a selfie video before so I’m pretty sure it was really rough."

The network are on the hunt for candidates who "love to travel, express their opinions and enjoy having a laugh," according to the media release.

Qualities such as being "the funniest person you know" will put you on the front foot for the position, and there are plenty of perks for the lucky candidates who secure this TV gig.

"New potential Travel Guides have every thing to look forward to. It's a few months of the year you're travelling the world, not having to worry about organising anything, working with the amazing crew, going to places, and doing activities you never thought you'd do. It will be the best thing you ever do," Stack said.

Nine's head of content production and development, Adrian Swift, said: "We're thrilled by the level of interest in becoming our newest Travel Guides but it's not surprising. It's the best gig in TV."

To be considered, you must apply as a group of two or four people, aged 18 or over, and available between July and November 2019 for filming.
