STA 2009 World Traveler Internship: The Cure for the Common Couch Potato

[Screaminguy]

i know this is kind of a stretch, but since you are applying to the STA internship thing,you may be more familiar with them than i. I want to do their hospitality job in Spain, but there are some doubts that i have, 1. Are the jobs abroad worth it and will i make a profit or is it just for the trip and experience itself. I would like it either way cause i love to travel but rarely get the chance to.2. Would you or anyone who knows about it recommend that, or should i steer away from that?

[qlutxangoi]

her video is cool. well edited and well said but in my opinion it looks like a tv ad. too scripted. cheesy but nice. anyways goodluck.

[martys40]

Macey you did an amazing job with this project. If you approach your life with this much passion in all that you do...you will never fail...even if you dont' win. You will always walk away with a lesson or a few new friends. You rock. Love you....Dad.

[Irishjengs316]

Awesome job, Macey. I think you use film exceptionally well to portray your points.

[nwotleets]

Solid composition. Use of angles is professional grade.

The content is also not a monologue, nor is it self-indulgent. It makes a point, and it actually shows you trying to get people off their butts.

Some of these other videos just seem to scream, "Pick me! I want to travel the world!"

Yours says, "I want to travel the world, and take everyone with me. And get lost."

Well done.

[MrsRit]

Good luck! Good luck! Good luck! I totally think you'd make an EXCELLENT intern! I know you would be the most enthusiastic, adventurous, and conscientious intern STA would ever have!

[Buzz663846]

I told you I would lol, just took me a while

Nice video, looks like a lot of time and effort

good luck

[IlMafiosoVero]

and you're awesome and i'd be totally stoked to see one of my former travel mates go globe trekking! viel glueck!

[IlMafiosoVero]

one obvious reason why you should be the intern: you won't make clumsy grammatical mistakes and spelling errors while blogging, as i'm sure many other people would

[KillTheMoonlight87]

hey hey very solid video i enjoyed it a lot! nothing better than getting lost in a place you've never been. good luck

[koosieboy87]

good luck! this is a great video! hopefully we'll get to travel together this summer!

[PassOnPassion]

Great video! Good luck and I hope to see you in the top 20!:D

We're all in this together

[n1i2k3o4s5]

Great video! Good luck!

[mslemonnn]

sweet vid! just showin you some love Macy :) <3

[martys40]

Macey, it's down to the final hours of the 1st leg of the selection process, I wanted to tell you once again how proud I am of your work on this project so far. Often, it's hard to believe you are only 18 with all that you have done in your life already. You had your first frequent flier ticket before you were 3! You were truly born to travel. There's lots of great videos submitted for this, I'd hate to be a judge and i am NOT partial, but, you deserve this internship. Good luck honey! Dad

[PatrickSkymaster]

Dear Macey,

One time, five seconds ago, I watched and loved your video. Then I decided to comment on it. I am now doing so and find that words are a poor way of describing how refreshing it was. And I'm stoked that we share a passion for getting lost! YES! No better way to get found.

Thank you for the kind words on my video, I certainly expect to see you in the top 20, and I would love to join you there. All the luck in the world! -Patrick

[Gnatty288]

Hey Macey! I do in fact wish on both of those as well! :)

Love your video, by the way. Very clever concept!

Good luck to you,

Natalie

[salomonskier92]

Macey you were awesome!!!

[skatesurferdude]

hey. good luck. funny stuff. Maybe we will be travel buddies. I got you beat in the camera department! Maybe you could take of the editing. from a fellow applicant. Good luck

Vile Kyle.

[Tower1151]

[winterswj]

[winterswj]

Thanks Macey, way to be creative with your video, i'm sure your photography skills are sick wit it haha. Good luck!

[DJteddyquackquak]

[oyavideo]

I knew your father in LA...you are much cuter and better spoken than he is!!! Good luck...you did great in this video.  You deserve that internship. Tell your Dad that one of the Cotton Tail Ranch gang said hello.

[deannapasekoff]

Excellent video. It's a really clever way of portraying your message

[mrshalpert102]

[shereef57]

Macey, I think you would be a great intern. I can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!!

Sheree

[cbn5017]

( I had to post another one to finish what I wanted to say!) There are going to be a lot of upset people if for some crazy, uncanny reason you don't get this.. but I am pretty sure that the only way you wont get this is if the universe like comes to an end or something!

[cbn5017]

Macey! This is brilliant!! I cannot believe how well this came out. I have tried to show everyone I know and everyone agrees that it is AMAZING! They must choose you. MUST!. You were meant to travel the world. You have been talking about doing something like this for forever! This is the perfect opportunity and you made the most amazing video. I will get online and read your blog everyday!!
