This company will pay you 30 grand to take time off from work and travel the world


Earn $30,000 to do whatever you want, whether that be traveling to Switzerland, skydiving, or snorkeling in the best sites in Palawan, in exchange for taking a few weeks off work.

STōK Cold Brew Coffee is looking for people to pursue their dreams. $90,000 will be divided among three lucky winners: $10,000 each as a stipend and another $20,000 apiece to cover the cost of their adventures.

All they have to do is document their journey on social media. No academic qualifications are needed, "but impeccable use of the hashtag game is a must." A passion for travel and photography are also considered to be an advantage. 

To apply, simply go to QuitYourJobAndGetStoKed.com and submit a maximum 300-word summary of "what you do now for a living and what you wish you were doing if you had $30,000 to do it." Just make sure you read the entire Program Responsibilities and Requirements before you jump in.


Good luck!

A group of UK-based entrepreneurs hope to change all that with the A-Bike Electric, an innovative vehicle which they claim is the lightest and most compact electric bicycle ever built.    The A-Bike Electric weighs only 12kg, which means it's light enough to take on a bus or a train, carry up stairs and get through busy crowds. The bicycle has a range of 15 miles (25km) and uses a brushless front hub motor and 24V removable lithium battery to reach a top speed of 12.5mph. The battery can be recharged via USB, and takes 2.5 hours to juice it up. Although the wheels have a diameter of only 13 centimeters, a dual-chain system allows for a normal pedaling action.    The bike's inventor,...

Katy Ann Gilmore is my new favorite on Instagram

Katy Ann Gilmore is a Los Angeles-based visual artist who specializes in making extraordinary illustrations on paper and large scale murals using micron and gel pens. Her elaborate line work is painstakingly methodical, layering strokes of the pen in varying directions to create amazing shapes and topography that look like they are covered with intricate mesh netting.

"My hand does hurt a bit after marathon sessions, but never anything too crazy," she told Lisa Congdon. "I try to rest my eyes/hands/brain every once in awhile by looking away from the drawing, dropping the pen, and taking a breather." Katy received a BA in Mathematics, Art, and Spanish from Greenville College in Il...
