Jobbatical is a startup online talent marketplace that connects people looking for short term experiences combining work and travel with employers offering short term gigs.
Their tagline is "short term jobs with life changing experiences".
Since they are a startup, there aren't many jobbaticals listed yet. But one really jumps out.
Kriticalmass is looking for a Rhino spokesperson to the be the voice of Rhino conservation for 4 months starting this December.
The job location is the Saba Sands Game Reserve in South Africa.
The job description is:
We are looking for an enthusiastic/ outgoing person with a passion for animals to work in Sabi Sands Game Reserve in South Africa and become the voice of the endangered African rhino. We want a people person who has writing skills and Internet competency, as well as the willingness to step out of their comfort zone.
This will be the chance of a lifetime to do something for a species at risk and a tremendous opportunity to enhance a CV for future work.
Our candidate will be working directly with the world-renowned Sabi Sands Wild Life Reserve team. They will have open access to the reserve and will become part of the family, getting to know the wild animals personally in order to understand how to best keep them safe and supported.
Jobs do not get any cooler than this!
The other jobbaticals aren't quite as exciting, but all look quite interesting.
Jobbaticals are part of the broader trend of Digital Nomadism, where people choose a location-independent lifestyle that allows them to travel and work anywhere in the world.
There is clearly a large and growing group of people who want to travel and work. It makes sense that sites like Jobbaticals are being created to match people looking for this type of work with employers.
