So….you want to live and work abroad, and play and travel a bit too! – I have lots of first-hand information here to help you with that.
Hi, I’m Sharyn, welcome to Live Work Play Travel – it’s a Lifestyle.
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, I’m here to give you the low-down on how you can live and work abroad. And play abroad too!
