You are goodwith a camera.Go somewhere with it.
You have not been stuck. You have been available. Reachable, busy, entertained and slowly postponing your own life. A good getaway is not about distance. It is about interruption.
I shoot what and I'll travel how far.
Some landscapes are walked, some are worked
Some places are walked.
Some are worked.
Five steps, in order, with nothing hidden in the middle. If you are going to give us your work, you should be able to see the whole path first.

- Rate the stay so the next creator knows

Selected applicants go through the programme before their first trip. It is short, it is practical, and it is the reason properties let strangers into their business.
The field standard
What we expect from anyone who travels with us, before any camera comes out.
Good Getaway Standard
How we work: conduct on property, briefs, rights, deadlines and disclosure. Required before your first mission.
Reading a brief
How to turn a mission brief into a shot list you can actually shoot.
Shot discipline
Getting the required frames first, then the frames you want.
Hospitality content
Rooms, food, staff and the parts of a property people care about.
Rights and what you signed
Usage, duration, territory, paid media and what you keep.
Before you ask
You are hosted and resourced. No cash from us, no fee from you. Ever.
You get told what is needed before you go. No guessing at the property.
What gets used, where and for how long is settled before anyone travels.
If a place is not worth recommending, you say so. That is the point of you.
Published briefs only. If it is not here, it is not open. We do not pad this page.
What the queue looks like right now
No missions open at this minute
Briefs are published as properties confirm dates. Apply now and you are in the pool when the next one opens.
We do not ask creators to rate a hotel out of five. We ask what stayed with them, and we publish it as written.
What the last group is still thinking about
No field reports yet
This fills up with real words from real trips. Until then it stays empty rather than borrowed.

Quiet Finds
For good places nobody has found yet. We go, we look, we say what it is.
Two Nights
A repeatable 48 hour format for stays within driving distance of a city.
Creator Finds
Our trained creators nominate the place. We verify it. Then we film it.
Community Finds
The neighbourhood decides. Cafes, makers and guides surfaced by the people who live there.
Apply solo. Or bring your crew.
If you are selected you train, you get your first written checklist, and you travel with a team leader beside you. Barter only, said on the first screen instead of the fine print.
