Companion Wanted for My Vacation
Travel Companion Wanted: Fancy a Trip to Australia?
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Philip. I'm the CFO of an expanding corporation. For me there is no weekend and no quitting time.
While other men go home to their families, spend cozy evenings in front of the TV and have their wives gently rub their necks, I'm sitting at dinner with the oil sheikh from Dubai. Preliminary negotiations in a comfortable setting for multimillion-dollar contracts.
Some people envy my top-tier elite status with a well-known airline. The first-class lounge is nice, and for me it's a second living room.
I'm looking for you, yes, you, as my travel companion for my next trip through Australia. I'm taking a vacation. After years, I'm treating myself to 21 days off. I never got around to getting married and I have no kids. I don't want to travel alone, and sinking into hotel bars at night isn't my thing. I want to talk, go on excursions and chill in the beach bars. And with good conversation with you!
Travel Companion Wanted: Traveling Alone Is So Last Year
To understand how I live and why I'm looking for a travel companion, please watch the movie "Up in the Air" with George Clooney. That's roughly what my life is like, except that I'm not flying around the skies firing people. My world is finance, and nailing down the big contracts for my corporation. As my travel companion, you should know what my life is all about. I certainly earn a small fortune. I have no time to spend it. So on this vacation, I want to really let loose.
The Perfect Vacation: Travel Companion Wanted
I want to go sailing, cruise through the bays on a catamaran, go mono-skiing like in my younger years, and dine with you like royalty at the best restaurants on the Australian coast. Of course you're my guest, and we'll have separate rooms. I'm not trying to land a sex partner, but a woman who can enjoy the landscapes, the country and its people with me as a travel companion. On top of that, I'll pay you $400 per day as compensation. Before the trip, you'll receive $3,500 in advance so you can refresh your wardrobe. On the trip I'll generously cover everything. I'll pay for your souvenirs, and I'd be glad to buy you a little something every now and then.
In Sydney I have old acquaintances I'd love to visit with you. With them, we'll take a 3-day trip into the outback.
What should you bring? An attractive appearance, manners and education, wit and irony, and a zest for life. Then you're the perfect travel companion for me.
