Everyone know there just aren't enough jobs about - particularly those that involve travelling, luxury resorts and tons of money.
But that dream came true for photography and travel lover, Sorelle Amore. Quite literally.
Early in 2017, Amore wrote a far-fetched wish in her diary:
"Travel to 12 countries in 2017 and get paid to do it. "
It is quite the stretch from most of our wishes for the New Year - you know, exercise more, earn more and eat less crisps - but, unlike most of us, the 28-year-old actually got hers done.
It all started when her brother sent her a job offer alluringly entitled 'Best Job On The Planet' from luxury property and travel company Third Home.
The advert says you can "travel the world, while staying in multi-million dollar luxury vacation homes" for $10,000 a month over three months.
And you thought your company's in-house gym was good.
No wonder 17,000 people applied. And, after only hearing about the competition a day before the deadline, Amore was one of them.
Finally, the applicants were whittled down to a shortlist of 15 and she was voted as the winner by the public.
The Australian said:
"The next three months I would be living the life of a rock star.
"The dream life.
"The life you think can't actually truly exist.
"But it did and I was living it."
She boasts 13 weeks of travelling, 15 countries visited - from Scotland to the Bahamas - and over 265 hours of transit in 28 planes (although that bit doesn't sound so good).
