(CNN) — Another day, another company offering a "dream job" in a tropical location as a publicity stunt -- although we have to admit this one's pretty cool. Floyd's Pelican Bar, a wooden shack bar in Jamaica that's only accessible by boat, is giving one lucky applicant the opportunity to "pull pints in one of the most Instagrammable drinking spots in the world." According to the ad created by UK travel company Virgin Holidays, owner Floyd Forbes has finally decided to take a break after nearly 18 years behind the bar, and needs someone to fill in for him this summer.

At the age of 21, Lexie Alford has already visited all 196 countries in the world. That makes her the new Guinness World Record holder for youngest person to travel to every country, by three years. (There are 195 states widely recognized as countries, plus Taiwan.) With a family that ran a travel agency, Alford traveled widely as a child—by the age of 18 she’d already hit 72 countries. That’s when she decided to sprint for the world record, self-funding her trips via work as a travel consultant and some sporadic sponsorships. She documents her experiences on her blog and is now working on a book.

Sri Lanka is now open to international travelers. But with few visitors, those who go will find its most famous sites empty of tourists.
American tourists are stereotypically thought of as loud, boorish, and tacky. They’re also sorely missed. “It’s a great time to be an American tourist.” Such a statement would have been nonsensical a year ago, when the COVID-19 surge in the United States was so grim that Americans, who are accustomed to traveling most places without issue, were considered personae non gratae across much of the rest of the world. But Tom Jenkins, the CEO of the European Tourism Association, stands by it: When European countries reopen their borders to tourists—as they expect to do this summer—they hope Americans will be at the front of the line.
