      There are countless ways to fund and logistically work out your travel lifestyle, one of which is finding a fun seasonal job that allows you to take advantage of the long off-seasons to travel. While there are many kinds of seasonal jobs you could get (think working at a ski resort, national parks, or catering during the holidays) there's one thrilling option that may not have been on your radar: river raft guiding. Working as a river guide is one of many exciting careers in the outdoor industry. As a guide, you'll be immersed in nature and develop numerous outdoor adventure and survival skills as you have a truly memorable summer. River journeys offer great jobs for outdoor-enthusiasts who want to know nature on a much more intimate level! If you think leading a white water rafting trip down a beautiful canyon and camping on the sandy shores every night sounds like an awesome job, you'll love this talk. Join our speaker Sarah to learn:
      • How she became a river guide & how you can too
      • What leading rafting trips entails
      • Pro's & con's of working seasonally
      • Companies you can work for
      • How you can stand out when applying to become a guide & ways you can prepare for the job
      • For those of you not interested in working as a guide but love river adventures, some recommendations of awesome river trips
      WATCH THE PRESENTATION ABOUT THE SPEAKER Sarah Mallory is a seasonal river guide, small business owner, and creative maker of all things leather. Sarah was raised in rural Ohio, and while she always loved new opportunities or exciting adventures, she mostly got her kicks through studying abroad during school, taking internships in different states across the US, and traveling as much as possible. After graduating from university, Sarah signed on to be a trainee guide, running river trips on the Snake and Salmon Rivers. Now, Sarah is a senior-level guide who specializes in training new guides and leading multi-day white water river trips through the backcountry of Idaho. She's found her balance for for living seasonally by running her small business and utilizing her off-season to travel and see family. Connect with Sarah:
