So….you want to live and work abroad, and maybe play and travel a bit too!

 

Well, I can help you with that.

 

Hi, I’m Sharyn, the face and creator behind Live Work Play Travel.

 

I travelled abroad when I was young thanks to my dad who worked for an airline. In my 20s I bought a one-way ticket and went to the UK on a working holiday visa where I had a number of backpacker travel jobs. I caught the travel bug in the UK and I’ve been living, working and playing around the world ever since.

Now, as a travel writing digital nomad, I’m here to give you the low-down on how to live and work abroad. And play abroad too! Let’s get you started on your journey abroad.
