ontiki, a travel company that caters exclusively to people 18 to 35 years old, is introducing an extraordinary offer, reports Travel + Leisure. If you book Contiki’s new worldwide trip, the travel company is offering to pay your rent while you go visit all seven wonders of the world on a two-month journey.
“The idea is simple – with the launch of its new Jordan and Israel trip, Contiki now visits all seven New Wonders of the World, each on a different trip,” a representative for the company told Travel + Leisure in a statement, mentioning Machu Picchu, the Colosseum and the Great Wall.
As long as your age meets the given requirements you can book all seven trips for two months of “insane, around-the-world travel, visiting the most iconic sites, and Contiki will cover their rent while abroad.”
However, take note of the fine print: The trip around the world through Contiki starts at US$13,610. Expenses for international flights, transportation, accommodations, or meals between trip itinerary items are not included.
With Contiki offering to pay your rent while you go on the trip-around-the-world bought from it, you may expect a total savings of up to $2,840. This amount of money is based on the US national average of two months’ rent as of Feb. 4, according to Contiki.
In case your monthly rent is lower than this amount, you cannot redeem the balance for cash or in-kind benefits.

To secure the deal you need to submit a rental agreement or proof of monthly payments prior to the discount being applied.
Those between the ages of 18 and 35 years who hesitate to travel because they have paid a year's rent in advance can now pack their bags.
The travel company seems to understand that most millennials and gen-Xers have at least one of the wonders of world on their 2019 bucket lists. Now you can check them all off. (sop/mut)
