Before
you apply

We’re looking for two people who can capture the feeling of Drifter, not just the rooms. Show us how you see people, places, events, small moments and the stories that usually get missed.

Bring a point of view

We want your eye, your taste and your way of telling the story.

Follow the journey

Follow @thehoteldrifter on Instagram and TikTok, then show us how you’d tell the story differently.

Keep it real

We’re more interested in your eye than a perfect pitch.
