Poster: A snowHead
|
This thread makes me so sad. A little over a year ago my wife and I moved out of London and I changed careers so we could change our lifestyle, and maybe at some point buy a house. Now I can do most of my job from anywhere with an internet connection this thread has suddenly made me realise I could go from worrying if a second week skiing was pushing it to having a few months in the alps each year. Except my wife isn't that keen on skiing (she'll go once a year) and can't really do her job outside the UK. I love my wife dearly and will choose her over the life of a ski bum, but it wasn't until this thread that I realised how close I could be to 'the dream'.
Maybe I'll persuade her to let me do a month or two secondment next winter?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

When I met the current Mrs SL she worked 9 months a year, every year (standard 9-5) and skied for 3. That was one of the many things that impressed me. I have a standard 9-5; get 6 weeks holiday a year, but manage to ski for at least 7 weeks, plus trips up to the Scottish stations. Was forced to take a summer holiday in 2015 - won't be doing that again before retirement. However, I can recommend a 4 day stop over in Fiji for a bit of beach type stuff en route to skiing in NZ, saves enduring summer in the UK.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

My ideal 'beach' holiday involves surfing. Hours spent in the sea can freeze you to the core worse than a winter in the Alps
