For two years, Dutch copywriter Mark van der Heijden went on great-white shark dives in South Africa and camped out on ice sheets in Antarctica, trading his creative work at 32 companies in 27 countries for a chance to travel the globe as "the Backpacker Intern."

After returning home to Amsterdam this year, van der Heijden decided he wanted to share the wealth.

"The [Antarctica] experience was the best adventure I could ever imagine," he said.
