Adventurer Couple Score Canada's Best Summer Job!

Winners of Hipcamp's national competition win $20,000 prize, embark on epic 40-day cross-Canada summer adventure.

TORONTO, Aug. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - After a months-long, Canada-wide search for the best candidate for Canada's Best Summer Job, Hipcamp – the world's largest provider of outdoor stays – is naming the winners and sending them on an epic cross-Canada summer adventure.

Vancouver-based content creators Andrew Santos and Brodie Younger beat more than 50 other hopefuls to win Hipcamp's national competition and the accompanying $20,000 prize. The duo's hilarious pitch video and compelling interview scored big points with voters and judges alike.

Santos and Younger will visit 20 of Hipcamp's best camping and glamping sites across BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.

"Andrew and Brodie represent the best of modern Canadian adventurers - they're natural storytellers living out their shared value of sustainability in some truly compelling ways," said Tegh Singh-Bedi, Hipcamp's Canadian general manager. "Our goal from the beginning was to find the right person or couple to vicariously and viscerally showcase some of Hipcamp's most beautiful Canadian stays. We're certain that Andrew and Brodie will produce amazing content to highlight the best of what our country has to offer."

Santos and Younger's cross-Canada adventure will run from Aug. 9 to Sept. 16, 2021. During their 40-day journey, they'll visit 20 of Hipcamp's best camping and glamping sites across BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, creating vlogs and other content along the way.

They'll also speak to local and national media about their ongoing road trip and the amazing outdoor stays Hipcamp offers in every Canadian province.

She says:

"I want to encourage Canadians to boldly chase new opportunities and let their passions take them on a journey," said Younger. "I've been in a transitional period over the past few months and winning Canada's Best Summer Job tells me that I'm on the right path."

He says:

"This is an incredible opportunity to do what I love with my partner - all while inspiring others to find themselves outside," said Santos. "I'm most excited about the various landscapes, new experiences, and meeting Hipcamp Hosts and locals along the way."

Santos and Younger share a dream of creating an 'earthship home' (a fully sustainable home built of natural or repurposed resources) and hope to eventually list the property to Hipcamp so others can enjoy it too.
