Interesting lifestyle

[darmstadt]

I know a bloke who live in Thailand yet contracts in Germany and only has to come here for a couple of times a year for a 6 week visit (I think the company where he works make sure that his visits are timed when the weather is the coldest )

I knew someone who contracted in South Africa for six months and six months in Canada. He escaped winter for many years.

Not for me unless the family could tag along.

I did the 4 months in India the rest split London/Ireland depending on the year. Missed the winter for the last 4 years. Now freezing my off in Zurich.

Learnt my lesson off to NZ in October.

I used to know a contractor (nearing retirement) who used to spend 6 months in Portugal and 6 months contracting in UK.

Hector, sorted that out. You can only do 6 months in the first year, 3 months in 2nd and 3rd year. 4th year you are his

Good old days, travel days not counted.

I'd rather earn the money while I can and build up my reserves.

There's money in them there distant hills. Although I agree it's not for everyone.

Sounds like a very sad life. Not for me. I'd rather live off reserves and wait for a family friendly local gig.

Just had a pow-wow with a contractor who hs a large bungalow with 9 cats in Portugal, and commutes weekly to UK for work.

Always fancied doing something simlilar myself (minus the cats).

Who here actually cmmutes to a different country on a weekly basis?

I don't commute now as I want to stay non-dom, I have to stay out of UK until after June.
I have done it before but only when I was staying in a hotel.
