”This is my semi-retirement”, she says when she helping me jumping up on the back of my horse.
The scenery from the mountains slopes are just crazy. I understand her. This isn’t bad. Not bad at all. This scenery is her office. The horses her colleagues. Her job is to guide people through the landscape and take care of the horses.

”I’m not living in luxury but I can do what I want without any people telling me what to do. And I can travel all over the world”, he says.
Wherever he put his laptop becomes his office. A beach, a mountain, a jungle. I could do that.
Joe, kayak instructor, New Zealand
I’m standing on the beach in Golden bay which is located on the north west tip of New Zealands south island. In front of me Joe showing a map where to go with our kayaks. But I don’t hear his voice, all I can think of is that I want his job. Helping and guiding people in their kayaks. Paddle in a beautiful area. The coastline here just north of the national park Abel Tasman is just amazing with stunning views and seals as regular visitors.

Free food, free accommodation, free diving and paid. Sam smiles. I don’t blame him. When I meet him he is the guy who makes the food on one of the live aboard boats on the Great Barrier Reef outside Cairns in Australia. 5 days on 5 days off. Everyday the sun rise and sets in the water. This is he’s office and home.
