If you are dreaming of a tropical getaway, or a life far away from the life you currently lead, whether or not you are currently unencumbered by pets, children, or a job that doesn't happen to be portable, I think you might enjoy daydreaming about the opportunities offered in the Caretaker Gazette. It's a newsletter published bi-monthly by a couple in Texas.
The opportunities posted are for caretaker/property manager/house staff/etc. positions around the world. Since you have to subscribe, it's probably only practical to consider if you're really thinking about a life change, or have a house to swap. Horse folks are particularly in demand. Even though we are happily employed at the moment, it's always fun to wonder what it would be like to dog-sit in Surrey, U.K. for a month, then mind the kitty in a San Francisco apartment, before jetting to New Zealand to care for 6 reptiles and some cockatiels and swap the home sweet home for a villa in Tuscany to wrap it all up. Wouldn't that be a fun blog to read?
I told Mike that if I ever had to cash in his life insurance (if you know what I mean) that this is what I'd do. Own a tiny little home base somewhere and dog-sit around the world.
