Meet Andrew Konoff, the University of Saskatchewan student who has landed 'the best summer job ever': The Saskatchewanderer.

Andrew, according to his Facebook profile, is a fan of John Hughes films, enjoys listening to Steely Dan and keeps an eye out for the best deals Regina has to offer.

But more importantly, Andrew is now the official voice of Saskatchewan tourism, spending the dog days of summer touring the province and using social media to share everything that makes his Prairie land great.

And after picking up his official 'Saskatchewanderer' vehicle - complete with gas certificates - Andrew was very eager to hit the road:

The province's ministry of tourism, parks, culture and sport began the marketing project by soliciting video entries from provincial post-secondary students. After surviving the initial cuts, Andrew was put up against the competition in a public vote. Have a look at his entry video below:

As an experienced traveller, an active member of the Saskatchewan art scene and a well-versed communicator through social media, Andrew seemed to fit the bill well.

He made it into the top three, where he eventually won the judges over with his plan to market the beauty of Saskatchewan in a filmed interview. Check it out!

When asked how he would break the stereotype that Saskatchewan is flat and boring, Andrew 'hit 'em up' with a little knowledge.

"All you have to do to break the flat, boring myth is go up north," explained Andrew in his interview. "I plan on going to the Athabasca Sand Dunes. It's a provincial park. Did you know that the Athabasca Sand Dunes are the most northern sand dunes in the entire world? Not only that, they're the tallest sand dunes in North America."

Showing a genuine appreciation for his province, the judges were impressed with Andrew's understanding of what makes Saskatchewan unique from the others.

Engaged in competition and brimming with confidence, Andrew was well aware of the particular qualities - or lack there of - that need to be shared.

"If you look around, you'll see . . . well, a beautiful sky, these incredible sand dunes and an enormous lake. And you won't see a single sheaf of wheat. You won't see a single No. 1 highway, or a 'Rider fan. But you'll see a side of Saskatchewan that, to be frank, ought to be shared with the world."
