Kaleb named Discovery’s new ‘global intern.’

22 year old Kiwi wins a dream contest for a photgrapher to travel the world for Discovery.

New Zealander Kaleb Anderson won a competition to find Discovery’s new ‘global intern.’

The 22-year-old has landed the dream gig, travelling around the world for free, documenting his adventures for Discovery Channel’s social media platforms.

Hailing from Auckland, Kaleb works as a gib-stopper by day and freelances as a photographer/videographer. As passionate as he is about exploring the world, he is equally fuelled by the adventures that New Zealand has to offer and uses every opportunity to plan weekend road trips around the country to show his Kiwi followers the beauty and experiences they can find without having to travel too far.

Kaleb’s internship will see him creating content in Japan, the USA, Germany, South Africa and Croatia, and he’ll also visit some of Discovery’s overseas headquarters during his journey. Plus he gets to take a lucky mate along for the ride.

The calibre of entries from Aussies and Kiwis was incredibly strong and the competition uncovered a wealth of untapped talent – especially when it came to the Top 5. Rounding out the final five with Kaleb was Andrew Cooney (22) from the Central Coast, NSW; Jeffrey Kieffer (20) from the Tweed Coast, NSW; Kate Carragher (34) from the Central Coast, NSW and Sophie Piearcey (26) from Queenstown, New Zealand. But this won’t necessarily be the last we see of the four runners up – Discovery will be offering each of these talented photographers and content makers the opportunity to contribute to Heaps of Stuff.

Now in its second year, the Discovery Intern competition searches for the best bloggers from Australia and New Zealand who are creative, love to travel and are armed with the skills to tell the story of a place through images, words and videos After the Top 50 was announced, it was up to the public to determine the Top 5 through voting. Kaleb’s submissions stood out from the start and he quickly emerged as a fan favourite.

When it comes to uncovering stories about the unique and diverse world we live in, Discovery is a trailblazer. At its core, the company is dedicated to satisfying curiosity and as the Discovery Intern, Kaleb Anderson will put this into action.
