A Kiwi has beaten more than 10,000 applicants from New Zealand and Australia to the job of a lifetime.

Ben Mikha, 25, is the Discovery Channel's new intern, which will see him travelling around the world documenting his experiences.

His flights and four-star accomodation will be paid for to Singapore, London, Iceland, New York and Italy.

"As the inaugural Discovery Intern he'll shortly be jetting off to travel the globe for free, documenting his adventures for Discovery Channel's social media channels and soon-to-be launched blog, Heaps of Stuff," Sky said in a statement.

"The calibre of entries from Kiwis and Aussies was overwhelmingly strong and uncovered a wealth of untapped talent. It was no easy feat for the Discovery judges choosing a winner from the top five."

Other Kiwis who made the top five were Sam Deuchrass, Talman Madsen and Corban Tupou. Discovery has also invited the trio to contribute to Heaps of Stuff.

Entrants had to submit photographs, videos and blog entries from their travels that captured their sense of adventure, talent and creativity.
