Best job in the world?

A Swedish magazine is hiring an employee to take beach holidays all around the world.

Lifestyle publication Amelia wants someone who is willing to receive massages, sample local drinks and read books on the sand for four weeks.

The job advertisement, which was posted with the Swedish National Public Employment Service, requested that candidates "have the capacity to rest/do nothing for long periods of time".

It also stated: "Included in the job assignment is going on outings, lying on beach chairs, drinking wine in local taverns, and other ordinary assignments found in a commercial beach and tourist environment."

The magazine's editor-in-chief, Asa Lundegard, said: "The response has been huge."
