VICTORIAN couple Jenny and Dennis McCarthy have been chosen as Luxury Escapes Senior Interns.
Thousands of over 60s applied for the dream internship but Jenny, 64, and Den, 72, from McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula were selected as the lucky applicants.
The couple, who have three grandchildren, will now receive training in all things online travel, such as marketing, social media, blogging and vlogging, before heading on a ten-day Luxury Escape to Bali to put their new skills to the test.
Applicants were assessed on their demonstrated love of travel and creativeness of their application. The McCarthy’s submitted a video of their recent travels accompanied by dramatic music and text.
Jenny explained: “The title of our clip – Seniors Interns on the loose – signifies our love of cutting loose from everyday life and exploring the world around us so we are beyond excited to have landed this dream internship. I was dragged into retirement screaming and kicking so we are grateful for the opportunity to upskill in the exciting world of online travel.”
The McCarthy’s travels will be published on the Luxury Escapes online magazine.
