The catch? She had to go on the adventure with a complete stranger, Tom Cunningham, moving between states in a Juicy camper-van and spending and five weeks alongside him.
Making things even more difficult was Miss Otto, 25, had to leave her boyfriend Callum Hulst in Melbourne to go on the assignment, but insists he was always going to let her follow her dreams.

Miss Otto had to leave her boyfriend Callum (left) at home while she travelled with tom (right), who at the time was a complete stranger from Sydney
'My poor boyfriend has got a little bit of flack about this whole thing. All of my friends have asked how he feels about me travelling the country with another boy but he's super supportive,' she told the Today show before they set off in October.
In a Facebook post from that time, Mr Hulst addressed the peculiar circumstances and said he was 'very proud' of his girlfriend.
'So proud that Natalie Otto has got the opportunity of a lifetime to travel the whole of Australia and promote everything adventure and tourism our land Down Under has to offer,' he wrote.
'You've got a talent and a heart of gold and I cant wait to see what you capture from this trip of a lifetime. CRIKEY you'll do it all whilst being the cover girl of Travello.'

They could be seen sharing a beer on the back of a boat, learning how to surf, snorkelling along the coastal reef and even meeting the Irwin family at Australia Zoo.
After five weeks of travel Mr Cunningham was asked whether anything vaguely romantic had struck up between the two, but he said they were 'just best mates'.

'Nothing happened, and the only romantic elements were the locations we stayed in. But what I will say, is if she was single, I would ask her out in a heartbeat after this trip,' he commented
However, things might have been different had she not been tied down.

Mr Cunningham, who is originally from Sydney, described the experience as a 'great way of seeing my backyard' and was indebted to Miss Otto for the good memories.

'What a great way to see my backyard of Australia and what a great way to make a friend for life. Nat was amazing to road trip with and I consider myself very lucky for having her there to share it all with. There wasn't a day where I didn't laugh because of her,' he wrote on Instagram alongside photos of them together.

The pair are now back in their respective states and preparing to enjoy the silly season ahead - with Miss Otto's boyfriend no doubt glad to have her back.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
