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.
