Days Inn Will Pay You $10,000 To Travel America For 2 Weeks

Days Inn by Wyndham wants to give a lucky traveler two weeks of free travel — and the hotel company will fully fund it, and throw in a $10,000 bonus. You read that right. With the hotel chain’s popular Sunternship returning this year, Days Inn will give an adventure seeker an all-expense paid trip to explore America, and as a bonus, the hotel will also pay that person $10,000 to travel for the 2 weeks.

With travel being one of the main sources of motivation this year, it’s no surprise that America’s youth are choosing to take a step back and reclaim summer ’21 with sun-soaked experiences outside of the living room. A recent survey found that as many as 22% of college students recently took a full or partial gap year. With travel restrictions easing, many are now looking to summer as their chance to come out of a year-long travel hibernation. Luckily, Days Inn wants everyone to Seize the Days, and this year’s “Suntern” will be tasked with packing their bags for a two-week, cross-country summer jaunt, inspiring other sun chasers with the ultimate gap year bucket list.
