Randy,
This is a great opportunity you are offering.

My credentials for this trip.
1. I am available. I am having some down time between jobs and my next job is in Libya which I am going to be stuck in and this will be a great way to get some travel bug's out of my system
2. I am not well travelled through Europe and would relish an opportunity to travel and take in the sights of some amazing places and cultures and be required to appreciate them in order to move through the competition.
3. I am an experienced navigator and I have never been lost even in cities that are foreign to me. My parents will happily acknowledge that I am a human street directory and have told me to apply for a london cabbies job.
4. Team player / travel partner. I like to work in a team but I especially enjoy travelling with a partner. Another insight into the the places you visit together often gives you a chance to see things you woul normally have missed.
5. Creative thinker. I enjoy mental challenges and taking differing outlooks on regular situations.

I hope you would seriously consider me for this role as I woulod represent FT with the greatest of my ability

.. Didi I mention I was Australian?
