Airbnb Offering Free 2-Month ‘Sabbatical’ in the Bahamas

Airbnb is looking for five people willing to go on a free two-month trip to the Bahamas, where they will assist with ecological projects in the Caribbean nation. A great opportunity for a free vacations and a great cause. Those selected to take part in the “sabbatical” will spend April and May traveling to three Bahamian locations to help preserve the country’s natural and cultural resources.

You will live like an islander while joining Bahamians in welcoming travelers back to The Bahamas, a country that depends on tourism for rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. Over April and May, participants will embed themselves into three beautiful island destinations, Andros, Exumas, and Eleuthera. Those five people will dive into local cultures and complete various projects in important natural areas.

To apply, visit airbnb.com/sabbatical and complete the application form. Before applying, carefully read the selection rules available on the website. Sabbatical runs April 1 to May 31, 2020. Applications must be received by 11:59pm EST on February 18, 2020.

And here is some more information about the three islands.

Andros

In Andros, where the third largest reef system in the world is located, participants  will work alongside underwater and travel photographer, Katie Storr, to create a coral reef restoration program in North Marine Park, constructing and installing a brand new nursery, where coral reef fragments will be grown and later transplanted to affected areas across the destination.  Participants will also explore blue holes, harvest sponges, and more.

Exuma

Home to the country’s first-ever national park, Exuma is celebrated for its crystal clear waters teeming with fish and other marine life. Freediver Andre Musgrove will work closely with Participants to replicate The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park ecosystem in other waters around the destination that have been overtaken by invasive species, namely the red lionfish. By carefully curbing the red lionfish population, the team paves the way for other reef-friendly species to enter and thrive. Plus participants will participate in conch conservation, traditional boatbuilding, and sailing.

Eleuthera

A long thin island with pink sand beaches, Eleuthera has many natural features like the Leon Levy Native Plant Reserve, which doubles as a research center for traditional bush medicine. Together with Omar Mcklewhite, a master gardener, participants will learn propagation techniques for the native trees and establish a bush tea farm. While in Eleuthera, they will also research native species, practice traditional pineapple farming, and harvest sea salt.
