Family - 3 grown children professionals in their own right and each in a stable relationship therefore allowing us to “Fly The Nest”
Why do we want to do this - Because it’s time.
We have no idea how our retirement is going to look, therefore we see Workaway as giving us the opportunity to look into other people’s lifestyles and opening our eyes to adventures, in beautiful surroundings preferably with our own private accommodation. We plan to rent out our beautiful home until 2021. March 2016- March 2017 saw us do just this whilst working and living in Malta with Nigel’s business in Recycling, then taking a 5 month travelling break before returning to our respective professional lives here in UK . I have now retired and Nigel is taking early retirement completing this late October.
Exciting and interesting times to come for us.
