A few months ago, you may not have given a second thought to the concept of “virtual travel.” After all, if you were someone with the time, money and inclination to travel, you could essentially just... go somewhere if you wanted to. Thanks to the COVID-19 global pandemic, that has all changed. For the time being, most travel—and particularly international travel—will have to wait. Or be done virtually.

But with so many options out there—you can virtually visit parks, museums, New York City and even the International Space Station—it can be hard to figure out which ones are worth your time (and bandwidth). That’s why Upgraded Points—a site focused on helping its readers travel using their points and miles—is looking to hire someone and pay them $1,000 to take virtual tours and review them. Here’s what you need to do to apply.
