I think this all depends on how one is wanting to approach work. I have
always loved travel, and it only recently occurred to me that one good way
around the shortage of work, is to go to where the work is.
I have a tent in the boot, just in case I can't find accommodation. I
haven't had to use it yet. As all caravan parks have shower blocks, it
would be possible to work from a caravan park - particularly if you take a
van or a cabin (not possible with a dog unfortunately). (That's another
idea for Erisa - cabins or caravans in caravan parks - particularly during
term time - are almost always easy to get - and extremely cost effective.)
A co-worker I met at the AWB was towing his caravan around the country,
again going to where the work is - and hopefully interesting places at the
same time. Hi Peter?
