Pilot Guide!! - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

**MolsonGirl** · 08-04-2004, 02:52 AM

So I've decided that the best job I could possibly get in the world would be a Traveller (presenter) for the Pilot Guid company. Now here's the problem.. I need to send in a video of myself doing my travaaal thang. I know I'm outgoing and friendly and get along amazing with people from all over the world but how can I represent that in a quick video? I'd probably do it from my home city of Toronto (cause I have friends in the film industry who can help me out with a camera) I know my CV will look pretty good, considering the travelling I've done and my degree and minor in history and all the sports and stuff... but i NNNEEEDDD video ideas... something catchy first 10 seconds is cruicial!! Even if I don't get the job (which I understand I probably won't) I still have to try.

Please HELP ME LAND THE TP DREAM JOB!!!

Ya, his website is here.
Click on 'MLM Team' and then 'Joe Eigo.'

"Joe Eigo was discovered at his friend's birthday party at a gymnastics club. The owner, Gary Legault scouted him jumping around and asked him to try gymnastics. During the first few classes Joe Eigo was immediately selected to move up to a high performance level. He began training 5 days a week 3-4 hours a day.

Joe Eigo became Ontario's provincial champion within his first 6 months of gymnastics. The next year he also won the Argo provincial division. He began competing national level and placed 9th in Canada in 1993."

Gymnastics IS awesome - and similar to parkour/breakdancing/martial arts! I took a few classes and was totally stoked. The skilled guys are just mind-blowing, the shyt they can pull. What's amazing about Joe is that he is 6' tall! Most gymnasts are far shorter as height and size make all the tricks exponentially harder. So, this boy got sum skillz! Ya, you should look him up, MG! Take a class or 2!

Maybe even recruit him here cuz he says he likes to travel, haha.

Anyways, back to our regularly-scheduled programming and your video now...

I would say do your own "guide" show for Toronto ( or some other city), talking to people, showing outta they way cool places, how to get around, classy one liners yadayadayada....send them the video and BAM! you be a paid trav'la

^ Personally, I'd love to see a video simply showing Toronto's major touristy highlights, hotspots and any cool people/places/things/events that only locals know more about. Basically, get a sampler taste of all the culture/food/music/flavor/etc. of the area. What do you like/dislike about T-dot?

Now, maybe this is "textbook," but I guess I'm a textbook guy when it comes to touring, lol. Sure, super-creative would be great - but I'd still settle for pleasant, fun, informative and interesting. Just quickly show me what's out there - I'll do the rest.

I´ll keep ya in mind, MG...when the time comes....

Voyd, that video was off the hook, dude! He knows his shyyyyyyt, fo shizzle! Dayyymmmmmmm.......

Sounds awesome! I'm still gonna put together a killer travel video of Toronto though. Even if it's just for fun. Who knows.. I'll probably learn stuff about my city that I didn't even know!

I've done some TV work before and I loved it... and just the thought of being paid to look at history in person and see things all over the world... I think my passion would add a good kick to my presenting

Well keep the ideas coming for my video... I'm starting to peice together some really fun stuff in my brain.
