Living and working in paradise?

so most of us have similar definitions of dreams,
most would probably involve lazing around on the beach in crystal clear waters full of sun and pina coladas or virgin coladas

although I havent reached my goal yet, ive stayed in different paradises and it got me thinking,

even though it would be nice to live here, some people dreams are to get up, do a few hours work from home or on the laptop and then at night hit the town,

and it got me thinking, I think I would resent the fact that I have to do some work and the fact that I had to do it in a paradise which would taint the experience for me!

id much rather do my work in a tiny office or away from the beach/poolside and then hit the town at night,

which pretty much means, its more ideal for me to live in suburbia and retreat to my paradise weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually!

 

I'd get bored in about one day. Need things to do and a purpose.

 

I'm lying here listening to the waves at Salt. I could not go to work, stay here (or hereabouts), and pretty sure I wouldn't think twice.

Sadly, I would need to do something with my children, and I'm not into boarding school.

 

I went to the office today, right in the middle of the long weekend. Here's proof.

 

Never been...

 

Truly Exotic, I think you are over-thinking it.

The whole beach and pina coladas retirement works for me, up to a point. Sand can be hot and "sitting" on the beach to use a laptop is really bad for our backs. WH&S measures require a proper desk and chair on the deck at the beach. Fixed it.

I will drop in to say Hi to Wylie at Lake Como each year, when passing through. I hope she likes the roar of motorcycle engines. I also hear Portugal has very affordable Mediterranean views, and Spain has snow-capped mountains if you don't get a sea view. In Tassie you can have both but the wifi sucks.

 

I worked in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia last week. Some by the pool, some by the beach but mostly in the air con because it's so hot and humid

Laptop, roaming mobile number and wifi internet at most places I stay allows me to work anywhere. When travelling I tend to do my work in the evenings once the kids are in bed and it might take 1-2hrs each day. I honestly don't mind it.

 

In about 10yrs when the youngest will be old enough to fend for herself I'll be in the comfy chair next to @wylie.

 

Bran, can you give a quick rundown of what you thought about Salt, as I'm thinking of staying there shortly.

 

Gockie, is this Pearl Beach, NSW? Looks familiar.

 

1 beach away - Umina Beach.
I'm sure its similar!

I'm lucky - my neighbour has a holiday townhouse and we're using it this weekend. Its a moments walk from all the services at Umina Beach shopping strip
Makes me think I'd like to have one too... then I think... i'll just go stay up in my Brissie IP if/whenever i'm between tenants. Tax deductible too - "i'm there to check up on my investment property"

 

Good point, I will ensure you have uncomfortable chairs.

 

We'll be here

 

Tis' a simple fix
